Plot Synopsis

Hosted by Alton Brown, CUTTHROAT KITCHEN: SUPERSTAR SABOTAGE is a five-episode tournament during which 16 elite chefs compete in the Cutthroat Kitchen for the grand prize: up to $75,000 for the charity of their choice. Four chefs are each given cash at the start of an episode, and throughout three elimination rounds they bid on items to help themselves or sabotage their opponents. The winner in each of the first four episodes advances to the finale, where only the craftiest and most cunning chef survives this battle of cooking chops and sabotage skills, winning up to $75,000 for the charity of their choice. The all-star cheftestants and judges are:
- Heat One (Oct 8): Susan Feniger, Jeff Mauro, Michael Psilakis and Aarti Sequeira, with judge Antonio Lofaso.
