Hey Foodies! Your favourite show, Cutthroat Kitchen is headed into the great outdoors! “Head Counselor” Alton Brown hosts the five-episode special series, Camp Cutthroat, where twelve cunning chefs compete for victory and the chance to win up to $75,000 in a tournament of outdoors-themed culinary challenges with a diabolical twist.
