In each episode, host Eric Adjepong takes over the test kitchen after hours with an exclusive invitation for three chefs to bring $5,000 to play across three hands of his underground culinary poker game. The competitors, who all know each other well, have scores to settle and personal stakes to lose as they battle to create dishes based on the cards they are dealt and bet using their own instincts and cold hard cash. The luck of the draw determines the dishes and cooking time, while wildcards deal unpredictable challenges into the mix that test the chefs like never before. From surf-and-turf with peanut butter to live crab with kimchi, anything can happen in Wildcard Kitchen as mystery guest judges use blind taste tests to determine who walks away the high roller with bragging rights and cash from their fellow chefs. Wildcard Kitchen premieres Tuesday, March 12th @ 9PM ET\/PT on Food Network.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Wildcard Kitchen<\/em> makes viewers feel like they are behind-the-scenes for an exclusive late-night poker game with their favorite chefs,&#8221; said Betsy Ayala, Head of Content, Food, Warner Bros.
