Dangerous Eats follows award-winning chef Stephen Coe as he tracks down demanding ingredients in wild places, then turns them into unforgettable dishes cooked right where they’re found. It’s not a studio show – it’s food at the source: real weather, real risk, real heat.
Stephen Coe is a fierce competitor and inventive chef known for his wins on Food Network’s Chopped, Beat Bobby Flay, Chopped: Ultimate Redemption, and titles like World Bacon Champion and Chopped Grill Masters. Trained in classic technique and obsessed with big flavor, he thrives under pressure – whether it’s a television clock or an incoming tide. Dangerous Eats is his purest arena yet.
Each episode drops Chef Coe into a new environment – rocky coastlines, swamps, mountains, open ocean – where he has to hunt, catch, or forage what he plans to cook. Once the ingredients are secured, he builds a makeshift kitchen from whatever the wild allows and lets the flames do the rest. No shortcuts, no safety net, just technique, instinct, and fire.
Dangerous Eats is a journey through the untamed side of food – lobster pulled from cold surf, game tracked through thick brush, shellfish dug from shifting sand, and wild herbs cut from sheer rock. Along the way Stephen highlights the people, traditions, and ecosystems that shape each ingredient, showing how culture and landscape collide on the plate.
