An unprecedented uprising in the history of the kitchen is coming!
A battle between a first-class chef, a housewife celeb, and an amateur cooking celeb.
They cook a dish based on a theme and compete to see which is the tastier. However, the budget the three chefs can spend on food shopping is as follows:
The professional is given $5, the housewife $20, and the amateur $100.
In other words, the shopping budget of cooks with high and low cooking skills are inversely proportional.
Can the professional produce high quality food regardless of budget? Or does the amateur grab $100 and do the “Uprising Kitchen” with fantastic ingredients? Or will the housewife win by the wisdom and experience?
What's more, the three cooks can draw “special cards” from an “original lottery machine” to force the rivals to use strange cooking utensils and a variety of other unique ways to interfere with their cooking!
Can three chefs with different strengths turn the tables with money and luck?

QUIZ GO ROUND 流れきる前に選びとれ！
The first co-development project by KANSAI TV and Red Arrow Studios International.
CRAZY CAROUSEL is the comedy gameshow inspired by Japan’s Sushi Go-Round restaurants.
Three teams are served up surprising questions and unique challenges where every possible answer or task is delivered on a giant carousel!
Knowledge, judgement and physical ability are all put to the test: from identifying which world-map is correct or which person is really singing instead of lip-syncing, to simply punching the life out of as many balloons as possible!
The players must react quickly before the carousel’s deliveries disappear out of sight!
But each team has one chance per show to slow down the carousel if there’s a task lined up they’re unsure about.
In the hilarious finale, the carousel serves up real sushi almost like in the restaurants: from ten plates, the team must identify the two pieces that do not contain a particular ingredient.
Our finalists must eat their two pieces, but the problem is, all the wrong choices are packed with super hot wasabi!
Only if the team selects both pieces correctly will they win the big prize!
