Chef a Domicilio
Chef at Home is a culinary competition, recorded simultaneously remotely and without the physical presence of professional film crews. Under the leadership of Chilean chef Chris Carpentier, this virtual challenge will have the famous participants demonstrate their talent and creativity to prepare the best dishes from their own homes. Each broadcast will feature three contestants (or couples) from Argentina, Colombia and Mexico, who will receive a basket with the same ingredients in their kitchens. Participating chefs and celebrities from each country must cook within a time limit to present original, creative and visually striking dishes. Additionally, as the competition progresses, participants must solve trivia and overcome some unexpected obstacles.
