Chef in Your Ear is a Canadian cooking competition television series, that premiered on Food Network Canada on August 31, 2015. [1]

Hosted by Greg Komorowski, [2] each episode of the series features a competition between two professional chefs who must "compete without cooking", by providing remote direction to an absolutely clueless cook. [2] Using only a video monitor to watch the amateur's actions and a microphone to communicate direction into an earpiece, the chefs must guide the amateurs through the process of preparing a restaurant-quality meal in one hour. [2]

The competing professional chefs are Jordan Andino, Devin Connell, Craig Harding, Rob Rossi and Cory Vitiello. [1]

The series was purchased by Food Network Canada in December 2014, [3] and production formally began in April 2015. [4]
