‘Cutthroat Kitchen’: Channel 4 Developing Version Of Food Network Sabotage Cooking Show
deadline.comChannel 4 is developing a version of The Food Network’s sabotage cooking show Cutthroat Kitchen. According to The Sun, the UK broadcaster is working with Warner Bros.-owned First Dates indie Twenty Twenty on a version of the show that ran for 15 seasons in the U.S.
