‘Next Level Chef’
Fox
Gordon Ramsay headlines this Fox show that sees a wide range of culinary enthusiasts, from line cooks to social media-famous home chefs, compete for a shot at becoming a a food-world superstar — and claiming $250,000.
The catch? Contestants compete on a three-level stage where each level is equipped with a different kitchen — and different kitchen tools. The first season of “Next Level Chef” concluded on Fox in March, and every episode is now available to stream on Hulu. More is to come: Fox has renewed the show for a second season.
“The Julia Child Challenge” finds fans of the late French-cuisine legend competing to master her cooking basics, recreate one of her original recipes and create their own Julia Child-inspired dish. On top of being a competition, the show is a celebration of Child’s body of work. The winner of “The Julia Child Challenge” gets to follow in Child’s footsteps, and study for three months at Paris’ Le Cordon Bleu — all expenses paid, of course!
“Saturday Night Live” star Mikey Day hosts this wacky baking competition where contestants with a very particular set of skills compete to see who can convince a panel of celebrity judges that their baked goods are everyday objects. “Is It Cake?” is inspired by a popular meme, and the series’ lighthearted and fun tone reflects that. On every episode, one winner takes home $10,000, with the show’s top three finalists ultimately competing for a $50,000 grand prize in the season finale.
This no-gimmick reality show takes its contestants through round after round of grueling culinary challenges for the title of “MasterChef” — and a $250,000 grand prize.
Fox recently announced that the upcoming season of “MasterChef” would be the show’s first all-star season. It’ll feature former contestants, and even a few “MasterChef Junior” alums. Season 12 of “MasterChef,” starring judges Gordon Ramsay, Aarón Sanchez and Joe Bastianich, premieres May 25 on Fox; new episodes will be available to stream the day after their live-TV premiere on Hulu.
The premise of this show? “MasterChef,” but make it kid-friendly! “MasterChef Junior” features incredibly talented young chefs between the ages of 8 and 13. The kids compete in a series of challenges for $100,000 — and the title of “MasterChef Junior.” The eighth and latest season of “MasterChef Junior” is currently airing on Fox; episodes are available to stream on Hulu the day after they’re broadcast on live TV.
Hosted by stand-up comedian Natasha Leggero and world-renowned chef Ludo Lefebvre, “Rat in the Kitchen” pits its culinary competitors against one another with a twist: Someone in the kitchen is a saboteur!

It’s a “culinary whodunnit” (as the Washington Post put it) with some delicious — and disgusting — twists. “Rat in the Kitchen” has new episodes airing weekly on TBS. Don’t have cable? No problem. You can watch it on TBS via a live-TV streamer, like Hulu+ Live TV.

The Roku Streaming Stick+ has a long-range wireless receiver, and allows for Bluetooth streaming. It includes all the features of the Roku Express 4K+ in a smaller, easier-to-conceal device. Instead of connecting to a television via wires, it connects directly to an HDMI port. Please note that the Roku Streaming Stick+ still needs to be connected to a power source — either via a TV USB input or a wall outlet.
“It doesn’t have the same bells and whistles that my Roku Ultras have…but then again, I also paid nearly twice as much for those,” the Amazon reviewer K. Krueger wrote on the site.. “This Stick+ is much cheaper and provides basically the same user interface and playback performance.”
