ViX serves up ‘Street Chefs’, first original format from Vice Studios

Lucha De Antojos

Spanish language streamer ViX has ordered Lucha De Antojos (aka Street Chefs), a cooking competition format from Vice Studios.

The show will follow eight high-end chefs forced to ditch their luxurious and industrial kitchens to cook in carts on the streets of Mexico, where the masses will then pick who’s the best street food cook.

Each episode will be centred in one of the most scenic spots in Mexico City, featuring iconic street dishes and celebrating the authentic Mexican street chefs that have made a name for themselves.

The series is hosted by, actor, entrepreneur, and food influencer Andres de Oliveira, and stars renowned chefs Anna Ruiz, Alexis Ayala, Alexander Suastegui, Chris Dommit, Diego Nino, Emmanuel Prieto, Josefina Lopez and Mariano Torre Hutt.

This will be the first original format from Vice Studios, which is behind titles such as FLEE, Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond and Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened.

Edgar Jaramillo, Vice Studios’ senior director of unscripted series, said “I am excited to announce Lucha De Antojos as Vice Studios’ first original format. Bringing this project to life has been a dream come true, and it wouldn’t have been possible without our partners at ViX. This show is a celebration of the people, culture and vibrant flavors that define Mexico.”
