They are given 45 minutes to prepare each meal and are given clues to help them make a meal that the family they are cooking for might enjoy. After each round, the families are allowed to taste the meal, without knowing which of the two chefs cooked it. They are then given devices to rate the food on 3 categories: Look, Taste, and Originality. These scores are later averaged, and the chef with the highest score wins the episode and is awarded a trophy.Table of ContentsWhat the Fridge Challenge[edit]Episodes[edit]International broadcast[edit]Reception[edit]Critical reception[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]What the Fridge Challenge[edit]During round two, the chefs are given a challenge that increases the difficulty in the meals they are preparing.In the premiere episode, the chefs were told that their original meal for six was to be increased into a meal for ten.In episode 2, the chefs were forced to blindly pick a “sauce” (from 3 options) to use in their meals.In episode 3, the chefs were forced to add bitter melon and Vietnamese basil to their meals.In episode 6, the chefs had to switch the dishes that they were cooking with each other.Episodes[edit]The winners of each episode are listed in bold.International broadcast[edit]The series premiered in the US on August 2, 2020 as part of The CW’s Summer 2020 programming lineup.[3]In April 2022 the german spin-off K\u00fchlschrank \u00f6ffne dich! (en: Fridge open!) was aired on Sat.1 and is based on the Canadian original Fridge Wars.[4]Reception[edit]Critical reception[edit]Joel Keller, writing for Decider, lauded the series, stating that “[I] didn\u2019t think that Fridge Wars was going to be as fun as it was; [I] thought that it would be a standard-grade cooking competition and that\u2019s that. But executive producers Phil Gurin and Tracie Tighe have hit on a formula that takes the Chopped-style format and brings it down to earth.”[5] Meanwhile, Rob Owen, writing for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,  criticized the series, saying that it felt too long. Rob writes: “As with plenty of reality competitions, one wonders if Fridge Wars might be stronger with one family at a half-hour rather than the one-hour running time, but for the most part Fridge Wars doesn\u2019t feel padded.”[6]References[edit]^ Rita DeMontis, “Scrapping it out on the competition series Fridge Wars”.
