Last year, Marcel Vigneron went from Top Chef’s second-season second-place finalist to 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing’s first-season first-place winner. And now 24 in 24 is back for another round on Sunday, April 27, at 8/7c on Food Network.
Hosted by Michael Symon and Esther Choi, 24 in 24 features 24 chefs undergoing 24 culinary challenges over the course of 24 straight hours, and yes, that’s a wild concept. For our money, though, it’s not as wild as the concepts below. Check out our picks for TV’s most ridiculous cooking competitions ever — with premises that make the over-the-top theatrics of Iron Chef seem tame in comparison.
