Plot Synopsis

Hosted by food podcaster Dan Ahdoot, each one-hour episode of RAID THE FRIDGE features four top-notch chefs who work a little culinary magic when faced with mystery fridges before them. They choose one to cook from blindly, based solely on photos, magnets, recipes and art on the fridge doors. But looks can be deceiving. There's no telling whether the contents of a fridge belonging to a family of four would be better -- or perhaps worse! -- stocked with quality ingredients than that of a bachelor. Chefs are forced to make do with what they find inside, much like us home cooks do every night when it's time to make dinner. Over the course of three rounds, each with a new cooking challenge and a whole new batch of fridges to raid, chefs must impress judges Jordan Andino and Jamika Pessoa with dishes worthy of the grand prize of $10,000. In the series opener, "Raid the...Freezer?," Dan challenges four brave chefs to face the mystery fridges and make the best dish between bread for judges Jamika Pessoa and Jordan Andino. In the second round, a tight race unfolds when a Kentucky Derby party fridge is used to give surf and turf a makeover. Then, the last two remaining chefs freeze up as they try to master a game night treat to walk away with a fridge full of $10,000.
