Overcooked Adaptation

“Overcooked is a chaotic couch co-op cooking game for one to four players. Working as a team, you and your fellow chefs must prepare, cook and serve up a variety of tasty orders before the baying customers storm out in a huff. Sharpen your knives and dust off your chef’s whites, there isn’t mushroom for error and the steaks are high in these crazy kitchens!”

And now, this reality TV show, which will be created by A24, will take all these types of challenges and bring them into kitchen challenges and more.
