Format[edit | edit source]
The format of The Chefs' Line involves a week-long culinary battle focused on a specific cuisine, with each day of the week presenting a new challenge. The competition starts with four home cooks and a chefs' line consisting of four professional chefs, each from the ranks of a featured restaurant's kitchen brigade, ranging from the apprentice to the head chef.
Each episode sees the home cooks preparing a dish that is judged blindly by a panel of food experts. The lowest-ranking home cook is eliminated, and the remaining contestants move on to the next round to face the next chef up the line. The week culminates in a final cook-off between the last standing home cook and the restaurant's head chef. The aim is to celebrate the skill and dedication of both the amateur cooks and the professional chefs, with the ultimate goal of crossing the chefs' line by out-cooking the professionals.
