In this exhilarating cooking competition series, The Taste puts 16 culinary competitors -- who range from home cooks and professional chefs to everything in between -- in the kitchen, where four of the world’s most notable masters of the food world judge their creations based on a blind taste.

Reminds me of the Malcolm Gladwell anecdote about how orchestra auditions are usually biased unless they hide the musicians behind a screen, so that the music is judged free from distraction.
You can see the same principle at work on a new TV show called The Taste, where contestants cook up and serve a single bite of food that the judges eat without knowing who the contestants are. So far the home cooks have been not only holding their own but beating out the pro chefs.
