Food Network has renewed the reality series ‘Worst Cooks in America’ for season 28. The filming of the upcoming installment is slated to take place between April and mid-May. The casting for the season is underway to find the winner who will walk away with the prize of $25,000. Anne Burrell is expected to return as the primary host, along with a new co-host.
In season 27 of the show, Anne Burrell and her co-host Tiffany Derry led sixteen novice cooks through a culinary transformation journey. The recruits kicked off by recreating their favorite takeout dishes, showcasing their skills. Basic kitchen fundamentals were taught as teams replicated chicken paillard with salad, followed by a spicy challenge of making lamb curry. The recruits did seafood preparations on the S.S. Worst Cooks, crafting appetizers, shrimp and grits, and fish entrées fit for the captain’s table. A farm-themed obstacle course tested their agility before mastering biscuits and gravy and creating composed dishes.
As the installment progressed, a trip to the supermarket challenged the recruits, leading to tostada and fresh tortellini challenges. They hosted a VIP chef-impressing soiree with appetizers and cocktails and tackled baking layer cakes. The culinary boot camp intensified, culminating in a showdown in which Stacey Loper, a grief recovery counselor from Hoover, Alabama, won $25,000.
In the upcoming season 28, Burrell will return in all probability as the guiding force and seemingly will be joined by a new, yet-to-be-revealed co-host. Culinary novices are expected to embark on a challenging journey under their mentorship to recreate their favorite dishes, master the nuances of working in a professional kitchen, and navigate themed obstacles. The viewers can anticipate a season filled with laughter, drama, and heartwarming moments as the selected cooks strive to impress and conquer their kitchen.
