Huli Sue’s isn’t the only Asheville flavor gracing your TV screen soon. Cúrate chef and co-founder Katie Button will appear on the new CBS series “America’s Culinary Cup,” hosted and produced by culinary queen Padma Lakshmi.
Button will face off against 15 elite chefs — including Michelin-star winners and Bocuse d’Or medalists — as they take on the show’s “ten culinary commandments,” spanning everything from meat and vegetables to sustainability, world cuisine, and culinary science and technology.
“Going head-to-head with some of America’s best chefs was, hands-down, one of the most challenging, humbling, stressful, and deeply rewarding experiences of my life,” Button shared in a social media post.
What’s on the line? The largest cash prize in culinary TV history — a whopping $1 million.
The first episode premieres Wednesday, March 4 at 9:30 p.m.
