Cooking shows now require some life-or-death element. Hulu's Secret Chef (which likes you remind the viewer it is “from executive producer David Chang”) is the latest entry, mixing the best of Cutthroat Kitchen, The Mole, Top Chef, maybe kind of the Saw movies, and hosted by a passive-aggressive Miss-Minutes-from-Loki. How much is H's SC about the cooking? How much is it about the gameplay? All in all, it provides a complex look at the nature and evolution of culinary programming in media. Plus – Strikes! Emmys! Project Runway! Drag Race! Great Food Truck Race! And more!

In the late 1980's Mahsa Darabi's family made the big immigration jump from Iran to Lake Oswego, Oregon, USA. That's the real beginning of her company, The Moody Persian, because it was Mahsa's heritage from Iran that she learned to fall back on and from which to draw both strength and happiness. As a Middle Easterner dropped into a very Western culture, she endured the slurs and laughter sent her way by those who saw her as different. At first this was humiliating to her, but then she found that clinging to her culture and background made her proud that she had a different point of view on life and that her point of view was warm and beautiful. And much of that culture revolved around succulent food shared at a big table with family, friends, singing and dancing. As Mahsa began cooking and sharing her Iranian dishes with others, the heckling and cat calling started to die down and the cultural gap began to evaporate. Once again, the power of sitting down together and sharing a meal broke down previous cultural barriers. Mahsa had another talent as it turned out. Starting at about 14 years old, she began acting in TV commercials and launched a budding modeling career. Yet again, she found her background “differences” – her facial and body features – that made her feel like an ugly duckling were considered exotic and exactly what modeling agencies look for. Then COVID rocked her life, cutting off her work and leaving her in terror for the health of her family, including the recent birth of their third child. This is where Mahsa turned again to the power of cooking and sitting down to a meal together. She didn't want her daughters to Zoom away their day, so she started teaching them science, math and culinary arts. She had them all in the kitchen cooking and preparing meals and that made sitting down together afterward an even richer experience. Mahsa has always found the kitchen as the place where she could concentrate, and it was there that the idea for her company was born. She always liked being in front of the camera so she decided to share recipes on Instagram. Then, when assembling recipes to write a book, Mahsa remembered that there was usually some person who inspired her to create that recipe and put her into the mood to create that dish. The Moody Persian name was born. Also part of her Iranian/Persian culture is tea, and she drinks lots. Too much as it turned out, as she was getting the jitters from too much caffeine. So she looked for decaffeinated tea but did not like the taste and longed for the spices and richness of her home tea but without the caffeine. Back to the kitchen, Mahsa took a year of experimenting and came up with Moody Chai, which is available on her website. Mahsa has been a finalist on Food Network's Cutthroat Kitchen. She's also been a real estate agent, private chef, accidental influencer, and has enjoyed an enduring career as a model and actor in the Portland area for over 20 years.

Dennis Sydnor first fell in love with cooking in his family home, smelling bbq and parker house rolls that his dad made. Then when he got his first kitchen job back in Cleveland at 17 he realized that his ability to cook impressed the girls and gave him some juice as the new kid in town.  Soon he moved to the front of the house and fell in love with hospitality and being front and center watching people experience what he knew would become lifelong memories. Eventually, he longed to get back into the kitchen and moved back to Sacramento and went to culinary school to prove he was serious about getting behind the line.  He has worked all over town including Grange, Red Rabbit, JB's Lounge, Smokey Oaks, 1022 and even Golden One Center before setting out on his own during COVID doing pop ups and catering under the name Renegade Dining while also serving the students at a beauty school in Natomas.  We get into his whole past and his hope for the future, as well as his amazing experience as the winner of an episode of Cutthroat Kitchen on Food Network which you'll have to see to believe. And now you can on the Discovery+ app!

"When I arrived in Hell's Kitchen, my goal was to create some passion and some art." The whole time I was here, I tried to stay true to myself. This is what the amazing executive chef, Tommy Stevens, said. This is relevant because today I interview former Hell's Kitchen competitor and Cutthroat Kitchen champion Tommy Stevens. Mr. Stevens was not only born in Connecticut, but he was also born into the cooking business. In his mid-20s, he started to investigate it more, delving into food and culinary studies. He was appointed executive chef of Iron and Wine in Patterson, New York, in 2017. He appears on my show because, despite going through some difficult circumstances in Hell's Kitchen, he remained true to himself and had a positive attitude. Tommy also adheres to the notion of kindness, with which ARAR not only concurs but actively promotes. So the way I see it, we are both rock stars, and I only see it as fair that we hear what the rock star host Sam Mitchell and the rock star guest Tommy Stevens have to say.

Best known for her roles on such Food Network hits as Guy's Grocery Games, Tournament of Champions and Cutthroat Kitchen, as well as Bravo's Top Chef and Top Chef All-Stars, Antonia Lofaso is one of America's most beloved chefs.

Plan and simple she is a bad ass!! Best known for her roles on such Food Network hits as Guy's Grocery Games, Tournament of Champions and Cutthroat Kitchen, as well as Bravo's Top Chef and Top Chef All-Stars, Antonia Lofaso is one of America's most beloved chefs. She is currently the Executive Chef and Owner of Black Market Liquor Bar (Studio City, California) and Scopa Italian Roots (Venice, California) and DAMA (Downtown Los Angeles, California).Lofaso apprenticed under culinary legends and absorbed their sophisticated techniques, but she was not afraid to take extraordinary risks to honor her instincts. She rose quickly through the ranks at Wolfgang Puck's Spago, and went on to transform several high-profile kitchens of Los Angeles.In 2011, Lofaso partnered with Sal Aurora and Mario Guddemi to debut Black Market Liquor Bar in Studio City. In Black Market and the business partnerships she formed, Lofaso found a home. This collaboration would foster the creative freedom Lofaso longed for. Black Market is not constrained by one definitive direction and that is the intention. A course might begin with dill potato chips and shishito peppers, followed by a lobster roll, Korean wings, and a succession of meatballs. What anchors this bold array of flavors, is Antonia.Inspired by her Italian-American heritage, Lofaso opened Scopa – Italian Roots in 2013 to rave reviews. Lofaso's interpretation of “old-school Italian” is hailed as one of the most compelling restaurants for Italian cooking in Los Angeles. Patrons describe Scopa as an essential neighborhood staple where Lofaso consistently serves food that is inviting, authentic, and undeniably satiating.Lofaso opened DAMA in July 2018 – a Latin inspired restaurant and cocktail bar with her interpretation of dishes she's explored during her travels throughout many Latin-American cities. Through her diverse menu, she has allowed guests to escape on vacation for a few hours through her whipped beans topped with crispy pork, corn drenched with cilantro aioli and crema, whole snapper with vibrant escabeche vegetables and her Pacific Banana Co. Sundae, an homage to the building's history.Lofaso insists that the drive behind all her accomplishments comes from the heart of the kitchen, and it is through this vein that she continues to have a firm finger on the pulse. She is revolutionizing her industry's aesthetic by creating concepts that she sees opportunity to improve and positively change including Antonia Lofaso Catering and Chefletics where she is redesigning classic chef wear into active wear for chefs that include style, fit and function, including her patent pending technology, ChefDry™.
