The Taste Show Summary

Sixteen competitors, from pro chefs to home cooks, whip up dishes attempting to impress four of the world's most notable chefs. The catch all the dishes will be judged their creations in a blind taste test. In this pressure-packed contest, the taste in a single spoonful can catapult a contender to the top or send him packing.

In each episode, the groups will face team and individual challenges with a variety of culinary themes through several elimination rounds. At the end of each episode, the mentors will have to judge the competitors' dishes blind, with no knowledge of whose creation they're sampling, what they're eating, how it was prepared or whom they could be eliminating.
