MEDIA RELEASE

BBC America’s all-new original travel and adventure cooking series, No Kitchen Required, premieres episode featuring Hawaiians of Hawi.

From producers of Survivor and Chopped, the adrenaline inducing No Kitchen Required follows three chefs as they are dropped into 10 of the most exotic locations on earth, where they must work with the locals to hunt, fish and forage for ingredients to create locally-inspired meals that will be judged by the communities.

The Hawaii episode of No Kitchen Required premieres 4 p.m. Tuesday, May 1. It repeats at 7 p.m. the same day.

No Kitchen Required features Private Executive Chef (and Chopped alum) Kayne Raymond, the first-ever Chopped Grand Champion Madison Cowan and award-winning New York restaurateur Michael Psilakis.

The three chefs fly above the dynamic landscape of Hawaii’s Big Island before their chopper touches down on a beautiful bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

The Hawaiians treat them to a traditional luau where they learn about the native culture and culinary traditions.

They soak in the celebration before heading out in search of their latest ingredients – hunting for wild boar, casting nets into the surf for fish and diving deep underwater to spear octopus.

After a thrilling hunt, the challenge really heats up as the chefs attempt to cook up the winning dinner for their hosts using the traditional earthen oven known as an imu, all while battling the elements.

Among the other locations: Fiji, New Zealand, Belize, Chiang Dao – Thailand, Koh Lanta – Thailand, New Mexico, Dominica, Louisiana and Florida.

The production hired local assistants, location scouts, caterers, lifeguards, carpenters, helicopter pilots and local experts on hunting, fishing and food gathering.

The program was shot over the course of three days in early February in the Kohala area, including the Polulu Overlook and Kiholo Beach.
