ABOUT THE SERIES
In restaurant kitchens around the world, elite chefs must work as a team every night to perfectly execute their dishes under intense pressure and in the new competition series Bobby Flay's The Line , the culinary icon pulls back the curtain on the high-stakes reality of working on a restaurant line. Each week, Bobby leads his hand-picked home team of extraordinary chefs Antonia Lofaso, Michael Jenkins and Claudette Zepeda against some of the country's most acclaimed restaurant staffs to execute a flawless dinner service – all for real diners in real time. The dueling lines must deliver dishes to diners and VIP guests, who rate each plate. After the ratings roll in, the lines can then choose to pivot their strategy based on that feedback. The home team's reputation is at stake to secure the win, but if the visiting team prevails, they will win $25,000.
