CBS has ordered America’s Culinary Cup (w.t.), a new cooking competition series from food expert Padma Lakshmi (Top Chef, Taste the Nation), for the 2025-26 broadcast season.
The show will feature an invitation-only cast of the U.S.’s most decorated chefs, who will then embark on a competition designed to challenge their creativity, endurance, presentation, leadership and more.
Lakshmi is hosting the series and producing for Delicious Entertainment. Susan Rovner of Aha Studios is also executive producing.
“We’re inviting elite chefs from across the country to represent their unique culinary style and battle it out,” Lakshmi said. “This competition echoes the thrill of sports and the American spirit as we cheer on our favorite chefs. I’m very excited to work with CBS and partner with Susan on America’s Culinary Cup.”
