The Big Brunch premieres Thursday, Nov. 10 on HBO Max. The new cooking competition, created, hosted, and judged by Dan Levy will pit 10 chefs against each other in a bid to win $300,000.
The show, however, isn’t simply a clash between talented masters of the culinary arts, it’s also a feel good program that’s fostering a community among its contestants and uplifting the voices of those not often heard in the food industry.
