Plot Synopsis

Host Tyler Florence travels across America, where, in each location, five chefs arrive prepared to cook in an unknown kitchen, and are greeted with a game of chance that results in two chefs becoming the competition's judges. The three remaining chefs then go head-to-head in two rounds of intense secret ingredient cooking battles, where their peers ultimately decide who becomes the city's Bite Club champ. In the series premiere, five of Chicago's most talented chefs meet Tyler in an Italian restaurant kitchen they have never cooked in before. Luck determines which two will serve as judges and which three proceed to the kitchen. Round one throws the competitors for a loop when they are presented with alligator meat -- but they rally and take advantage of the restaurant's powerful pizza oven in the hopes of cooking it just right. The most successful two chefs move to the next round, but only one is named the Windy City's Bite Club champ. Chicago competitors are Chris Pandel (Swift & Sons), Zoe Schor (Split-Rail), Brian Jupiter (Frontier), Alisha Elenz (mfk), and Diego Lopez Amat (Mercat a la Planxa). In subsequent episodes, Tyler visits Savannah, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Charleston and Nashville.
