Cook At All Cost Canadian Show Review

What do you think makes a Michelin-starred meal – the fancy ingredients or the chef's skills?  

  Cook At All Cost is the latest Canadian competition that invites three home chefs into the studio and gives them a chance to win $25,000. However, it's not as easy as you might think, as these chefs have to use more of their cooking  skills to get that cheddar.

  The highlight of the show is that the chefs have to bet on the ingredients in three boxes. The first box, known as the "Spend" box, contains the best high-end items. The last one is "Surprise" box with surprise contents.

  The three chefs have $25,000 in their bank and must bid on the boxes for their first meal. Boxes come at fixed rates and woe betide the highest bidder!

  The show is hosted by Jordan Andino, culinary expert and beloved television personality. Not only does it excite and unsettle the chefs during the auction, but it also draws the audience in. As you watch, you'll find yourself blown away by his energy and the fun of a blind proposition.

  The chefs are judged by a special guest judge, who is also the master of creating the boxes. They know which ingredients can make or break a contestant's dish and send it out to blind tender on a large conveyor belt. It's a fun idea and actually works pretty well. At the end, the guest judge chooses the best dish of the second round. The winner walks away with whatever cash is left in their bank account.

  If you thought everything was getting expensive, you'll be shocked to see what eggs can cost on this show. When all is said and done, the winner may not win much!  

 I liked that the guest judges didn't contact the contestants until the final selection was made. They can judge what is inside the plate without seeing the technique. This is one of the few things that is different about this cooking show.

  We also get a new set of chefs every episode, and they have different approaches to how much to offer. This makes watching each episode fun because you never know what strategy each chef will use.

   It's a perfect blend of storage wars and chopped with Canadian flavor.
