Created by Dan Levy, HBO Max’s ‘The Big Brunch’ is a cooking competition series that brings together undiscovered yet talented chefs from across the country to compete against each other. By showcasing their culinary skills and putting their knowledge about the art of cooking to good use, the contestants must give their best to win an attractive cash prize of $300,000. At the same time, they are given the opportunity to share their background stories and business dreams.
Although the show follows the conventional format of most of the shows in the genre, what makes it different and all the more entertaining is that Dan Levy not just sits at the judges’ table alongside Sohla El-Waylly and Will Guidara but also hosts the show. While the delicious dishes prepared by the contestants make ‘The Big Brunch’ a mouth-watering watch, the interior space where it is recorded makes it hard for the viewers to guess the actual filming site. Well, don’t worry because we have all the information about the same!
