Jeannie Mai hosts this competition series where 11 contestants from across the country partake in a series of challenges that test their culinary abilities and on-camera personality.

Each week the contestants are judged by a panel composed of Dan Souza, Elle Simone Scott, Jack Bishop, and Julia Collin Davison, as well as special guest judges.

The last cook standing becomes the newest face of America's Test Kitchen, takes home a $100,000 prize, and gets the opportunity to write their own cookbook.
