Chef Marc Thuet & Biana Zorich - Conviction Kitchen
What do you get when you take one of the country’s top chefs, throw in a kitchen crew of ex-cons with no culinary experience, and give them just weeks to open a high-end restaurant from scratch?
In season two of Conviction Kitchen, world-renowned executive chef, Marc Thuet, and his wife and business partner, Biana Zorich, put their reputations on the line again – this time in Vancouver – with another high-stakes challenge that will push them and their charges to the limit.
With the clock ticking, Marc and Biana must train a staff of former offenders, create a tantalizing gourmet menu from scratch, and overhaul owner Daniel Frankel’s martini bar in the heart of the city’s gay village. But can they handle the stresses of running businesses in two time zones? Will they be able to follow the rules while working in someone else’s restaurant? And with limited time and funds, will they be forced to compromise on their usual level of fine dining?
As for the ex-cons, dealing with culinary boot camp will be only their first challenge since the real test will be making it past opening night. After all, they’ve got mere weeks to help build a profitable business or owner Daniel will pull the plug, and they’ll lose out on this once-in-a-lifetime chance to turn their lives around. Can these convicted criminals cook themselves up a bright new future on the other side of the law?
Informative, in-depth, and emotionally-charged, Conviction Kitchen is spicy kitchen drama served up sizzling hot!
