Wheelhouse, founded by CEO Brent Montgomery and Jimmy Kimmel, has inked a content, marketing and investment deal with chef, restaurateur, producer and author David Chang and his Majordomo Media.<\/p>\n
Wheelhouse and Majordomo will exclusively develop and produce premium unscripted programming in the food, home and lifestyle genres. The two previously collaborated on Secret Chef<\/em>, a cooking competition for Hulu that sees competitors anonymously rank one another\u2019s dishes through blind tastings.<\/p>\n For their culinary content, the companies will utilize Majordomo\u2019s new, state-of-the-art creative and production space in downtown Los Angeles\u2019s ROW DTLA. The 6,000-square-foot studio features two fully equipped kitchens designed specifically for filming.<\/p>\n In addition to developing television properties, Wheelhouse and Majordomo will look to create original content and develop new talent for MajordomoTV, the newly launched FAST channel from Majordomo Media and LG Electronics.<\/p>\n The partnership will also focus on consumer product development. Both Majordomo and Wheelhouse have long-standing relationships with established and emerging brands, and they will invest in outside companies whose missions align with their respective values and goals.<\/p>\n \u201cAt the end of the day, whether we\u2019re producing TV shows or podcasts, or designing kitchen tools, Majordomo Media\u2019s focus is always on being useful, honest, and entertaining,\u201d Chang said. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of BS out there, and we just want to be the ones to cut through the noise and give people the knowledge and tools they need to cook, eat, travel and live better. I\u2019ve known Brent and Jimmy for a long time, and I\u2019ve always admired the hell out of what they do. When we finally got to work together on Secret Chef, it really cemented for all of us that we could join forces to do something big and creative that brings value and joy to the world. I\u2019m in awe of what Wheelhouse has done, and the way they think about the marketplace. I\u2019m incredibly excited to see what we can do together, including helping other entrepreneurs break through.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDavid is someone who rolls up his sleeves every day, literally,\u201d added Montgomery. \u201cNo matter how successful he\u2019s become in the culinary, media and business worlds, David wears his formula for success on those sleeves\u2014and that\u2019s combining bold creative and intense effort. His superpower is that he makes it look easy, and we cannot wait to mix it up and make some magic.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wheelhouse, founded by CEO Brent Montgomery and Jimmy Kimmel, has inked a content, marketing and investment deal with chef, restaurateur, producer and author David Chang and his Majordomo Media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":19857,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[4977,7799,4525,7800,7801,7802,6261],"class_list":["post-19856","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-brent-montgomery","tag-david-chang","tag-jimmy-kimmel","tag-majordomo-media","tag-majordomotv","tag-secret-chef","tag-wheelhouse","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
