Justin P @RT25746067 01/11/2025 The concept is great but the execution falls short. They get excited when a meal comes in at $17 a plate. And to add insult to injury, the small print says the winner gets $5000 instead of "groceries for a year". That is just over $13 a day (less than 1 "budget" meal) That is certainly not "groceries for an entire year" as the host repeatedly states. See more E W @RT87517253 10/21/2024 A great show, but I want to see the recipes of the winning cooks posted and reveal what the price of the groceries for a year is. See more Jason T @RT94255802 07/04/2024 I truly loved this show, it was invigorating and heart racing. I loved the (hacks) and how the home cooks all had an opportunity to show the world what they can do. I hope they do another season See more Jill Ann G @RT27217579 05/04/2024 I LOVED THE SHOW!!
