Sixteen competitors, from pro chefs to home cooks, whip up dishes attempting to impress four of the world’s most notable chefs. The catch is all the dishes will be judged in a blind taste test. In this pressure-packed contest, the taste of a single spoonful can catapult a contender to the top or send him packing.
“The Taste” features no-holds barred chef Anthony Bourdain, British food star Nigella Lawson, expert chef and author Ludo Lefebvre and restaurateur Brian Malarkey. Each of the four culinary superstars and “Taste” mentors – Bourdain, Lawson, Lefebvre and Malarkey – will coach a team of four competing pro and amateur cooks chosen from a nationwide casting call as they vie to create the best tasting dish.
In each episode, the groups will face team and individual challenges with a variety of culinary themes through several elimination rounds. At the end of each episode, the mentors will have to judge the competitors’ dishes blind, with no knowledge of whose creation they’re sampling, what they’re eating, how it was prepared or whom they could be eliminating.

I don't watch a ton of reality t.v., but I love cooking competitions. So, I am excited to see what this one has to offer. The format seems fun (with interesting twists like blind taste testing). The stage and look is a little flashy to me (after all, this is a cooking show), but I am willing to dive in and give it a shot. The key for me will be to stand apart from other cooking shows like Top Chef and Hell's Kitchen. Hopefully they will be able to find their own niche and unique competition ideas.
If you've watched the show or seen a preview, I invite you to some fun Twitter events happening tomorrow. There will be a pre-show party at 12 EST and then live tweeting during tomorrow night's episode. Be sure to follow me on Twitter, as I will be tweeting during both of these events.
