Bobby Flay’s competition skills are legendary, and as host of Bobby’s Triple Threat, he has handpicked a trio of top-notch chefs to represent him as the next generation of culinary titans. New York chef and restaurateur Ayesha Nurdjaja is the newest titan, joining Michael Voltaggio and Brooke Williamson to take on highly skilled competitors in three head-to-head cooking rounds with surprise featured ingredients for a chance to win $25,000. The elite chefs entering Bobby’s speakeasy kitchen are a culinary murderers’ row, including heavy hitters Maneet Chauhan, Nini Nguyen, Dale Talde, Jet Tila, and Bryan Voltaggio. The ten-episode season premieres Tuesday, September second @ 8PM ET/PT on Food Network and streaming the next day on HBO Max.
“This season of Triple Threat is a special one – I’m excited to introduce new titan Ayesha Nurdjaja, who I handpicked from the many candidates across the country. She is a Brooklyn-born chef with global flavors in her pocket and joins Triple Threat veterans Brooke Williamson and Michael Voltaggio to complete a close-to unbeatable team,” said Flay.
In the season premiere, Bobby introduces the newest titan Ayesha Nurdjaja who joins Michael Voltaggio and Brooke Williamson in the exclusive club. Bobby is not taking it easy on them as he invites top-tier competitor Nini Nguyen to challenge the trio in three rounds judged by the culinary royalty Daniel Boulud. In addition to Maneet Chauhan, Dale Talde, Jet Tila, and Bryan Voltaggio, competitors include Karen Akunowicz, Avishar Barua, Adrianne Calvo, Martel Stone, and Michelle Wallace.
“Ayesha is a talented and well-known chef and restaurateur in New York City, but she is a newcomer to food competitions. Bobby saw something special in her and knew she had what it takes to be a titan – so she jumped right in, and we can’t wait for viewers to get to know her,” said Betsy Ayala, Head of Content, Food, Warner Bros. Discovery. “This season has some of the fiercest cooking rounds we’ve ever seen, the audience will be on the edge of their seats.”
