Worst Cooks in America 14 is the fourteenth season of the American competitive reality television series Worst Cooks in America. It premiered on Food Network on August 12, 2018 and concluded on September 24, 2018. Bradley Garcia was the winner of this season, with Sarah Harris as the runner-up.
Format Worst Cooks in America is a reality television series where contestants with poor cooking skills, called “recruits,” undergo a culinary boot camp for the chance to win $25,000 and a Food Network cooking set. The recruits are trained in various basic cooking techniques including baking, knife skills, temperature control, seasoning and preparation. Each episode features two core challenges. The first is the Skills Drill, which tests their grasp of basic techniques demonstrated by the chef mentors. The second is the Main Dish Challenge, where they must apply those skills to recreate or invent a more complex dish under specific guidelines. The weakest performer is eliminated at the end of each episode. The final two contestants prepare a restaurant-quality, three-course meal for a panel of food critics, who evaluate the dishes based on taste, presentation, and overall improvement.
Judges Robert Irvine rejoined Anne Burrell to host season 14.
