Most professional chefs like to work in a kitchen stocked with the latest and greatest kitchen gadgets. But that's not what the chefs on "No Kitchen Required" get. Chefs Michael Psilakis, Madison Cowan and Kayne Raymond leave the comforts of their kitchens behind and head out on an adventurous cooking competition. The chefs are dropped off into some of the most exotic and remote places on Earth and must work with locals to hunt, fish and forage for ingredients that they then use to create locally inspired meals that are judged by members of the local communities. In order to succeed, the chefs must combine their skills with the techniques and flavors of the locals to create delectable dishes in just three hours.

Despite my enjoyment, I couldn't help but wonder why no the roster has three male chefs. The chefs have very different temperaments, but I think having a female competitor would vary the styles even more. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 11/11/2020

Travel fans will enjoy seeing the places being featured here... But what makes this show worth watching is the positive messages it sends about respecting different communities and cultures. Go to Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred 03/18/2020
The series doesn't yet feel like must-watch TV, in part because the standalone episodes don't build momentum week to week, but it's fun to watch and a well-produced show in its first season has room to grow. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
