Eyeworks Picks Up RTL Cooking Show

HILVERSUM, August 11:
Eyeworks will be the exclusive worldwide distributor outside of the Netherlands
for RTL 4’s format Who is the Chef?, which was developed and produced in house by RTL Productions.

Who is the Chef? is a new daily show in the Netherlands where four
individuals, including an anonymous professional chef who will try to conceal
his identity, cook four dinners Monday through Thursday. At the end of the
week, the contestants discuss who they think the real chef is.

Bert Habets, the CEO of
RTL Nederland, said: “We are very proud to have successfully launched a
brand-new daily program in a very competitive summer. Especially since it is
developed and produced in house by our creative department RTL Productions. Joining
forces with a company as professional and passionate as Eyeworks, makes us
confident that Who is the Chef?
will prosper internationally as well.”

Reinout Oerlemans, the CEO
of Eyeworks, commented: “We are excited to add Who is the Chef? to our ever-expanding international catalogue. The
show has proved itself in the Netherlands and has a universal appeal with great
international potential. Therefore it is a welcome addition to our in-house
developed titles and it will be amongst the Eyeworks highlights to be showcased
prominently at MIPCOM in October.”
