A cooking competition in which KIDS are the judges!

Move over Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich, and Anthony Bourdain, there are some new pint-sized culinary critics cranking up the heat on wannabe chefs and if they don't like what you're serving, you're gonna get Cook'd!

Kids are the most discerning (or some might say the pickiest) eaters in the world, so pleasing them takes real chops in the kitchen. From parents to lunch ladies, from camp cooks to kids' party caterers, is anyone ever certain they can tickle the temperamental taste buds of tweens?

Host Dave Keystone guides these amazing pint-sized food aficionados as they judge a new cuisine theme each week!

Testing their mettle with a mixer and their savvy with sauces will be three wannabe chefs who must please the palates of three young judges in the hopes of winning the coveted Silver Mixing Spoon -- and avoiding a dunking in the vast soup pot that awaits the losers.

Will these cooks have what it takes to wow the judges and walk away with the coveted Silver Spoon or will they GET COOK’D?

Season 1: 20 x 30 mins
