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?
