Seven fearless chefs face extreme conditions on one of the most demanding and creative cooking competition ever devised. Chefs compete in grueling challenges like cooking on top of a car engine, extracting ingredients from a block of ice and dodging snakes to gather rattlesnake meat in a burlap sack. Their culinary wit, adaptability and artistry are all put to the test by host and seasoned world traveler Marsh Mokhtari. A rotating panel of notable guest judges, including Simon Majumdar, Ben Sargent and Troy Johnson, decide who is worthy to take home the title of Extreme Chef and claim the $50,000 prize.
