@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageHi everyone!  I’m on a new show— “House of Knives”
 
Premiering Tuesday, March 18th at 9pm EST– “Welcome to the House of Knives” – PREMIERE!

Host Scott Conant welcomes six of the world’s most prestigious and talented chefs to the House of Knives arena for a groundbreaking competition where culinary skill meets strategy. The chefs create dishes using a signature ingredient in hopes of impressing Culinary Council judges Marcus Samuelsson and Judy Joo to become the very first ruler of the game and avoid banishment. Then, a culinary legend enters the arena and rattles the nerves of the remaining contenders, while a huge advantage is given to the chef who demonstrates the best mastery of spicy cuisine. One contender’s shocking strategy proves that culinary expertise alone won’t keep you safe in the House of Knives.
