''Cutthroat Kitchen ''is a reality cooking television show hosted by Alton Brown that premiered on August 11, 2013 on Food Network. It features four chefs competing in a three-round elimination cooking competition. However, the contestants face auctions in which they can purchase opportunities to sabotage each other or benefit themselves. Each chef is given $25,000 at the start of the show; the winner keeps whatever money he/she has not spent in the auctions. The show is in its tenth season as of October 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/cutthroat-kitchen/episodes.html )〕 The series shares some basic elements with other four-chef three-round elimination-style competitions on Food Network including ''Chopped'' and ''Guy's Grocery Games''. ==Format== Each episode features four chefs competing in a three-round elimination contest. Brown gives each chef $25,000 cash before the first round. For insurance reasons, movie prop cash is used instead of actual currency.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alton Brown on Twitter )〕 In each round, the chefs are assigned a dish to create. The assigned dishes are typically specific and commonplace, such as macaroni and cheese, French toast, or fish and chips; on occasion, Brown announces a more general challenge such as British pub food or a skillet breakfast. In later seasons, savory dishes are assigned in the first two rounds and a dessert in the third. After the dish is announced, the chefs have 60 seconds to collect all of the ingredients they need from an onstage pantry, using hand-carried shopping baskets. When the time runs out, Brown shuts the pantry doors; any chefs who remain inside must surrender an ingredient of his choosing before he will let them out. In each of the first two rounds, Brown follows the ingredient collection time by auctioning off a series of items that the chefs can use to sabotage one another (or, in some cases, to benefit themselves). The highest bidder pays for the item out of his/her remaining funds, then decides which opponent(s) will face the sabotage, if applicable. The auctions are followed by a timed period (usually 30 minutes) in which the chefs must prepare and plate their dishes. Brown occasionally offers additional auctions during the cooking time. In the final round, the chefs begin cooking immediately after collecting their ingredients, and the auctions take place while they are working. Once the cooking time has expired, any visible indication of the sabotages/benefits is removed from the set and a judge is brought out to evaluate the dishes. The judge is sequestered in an isolation room except during the judging, and has no knowledge of what has occurred during the round. Each dish is evaluated on three criteria: taste, presentation, and resemblance to the assigned dish. The chefs are given a chance to describe and explain their dish and choices. They may not complain in general or disclose any sabotages they faced, but they may try to explain (truthfully or otherwise) the cooking choices they made or were forced to make. The chef whose dish is judged the least satisfactory is eliminated from the game and forfeits all of his/her remaining money. After the third round, the surviving chef keeps whatever money s/he has not spent on auction items. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cutthroat Kitchen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
