A brand new culinary competition dropped to Netflix on Monday, April 20th with a unique spin. Trained chefs with a speciality in cooking with cannabis come together to impress a panel of judges.
Each episode sees three chefs cook an impressive cannabis-infused three course meal, but only one can go through from each heat.
Not only do the chefs need to impress presenters and cooking experts Kelis and Leather Storrs, they need to impress a panel of celebrity judges in each episode.
So, who are the guest judges on Cooked with Cannabis? Find out about them here!
Singer-turned-chef Kelis fronts the show with weed connoisseur and culinary maestro Leather Storrs.
Kelis is probably best known for her 2004 Grammy Award-winning hit ‘Milkshake’ but has since gone on to develop her skills as a trained chefs. Any mistake won’t pass Kelis by, given her culinary training at the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu.
Leather is originally from Portland, Oregon and made his name working in L.A. kitchens throughout the late ’90s. When cannabis was legalised in Portland in 2014, Leather combined both his passions and embarked on a cannabis culinary adventure.
