Diva hears Chef In Your Ear

The Canadian version of Chef In Your Ear is produced by HLP

NBCUniversal has acquired Canadian culinary competition format Chef In Your Ear for the pan-Asian feed of its lifestyle channel Diva.

The network will air the finished tape of the series, which debuted on Food Network in Canada last fall, after acquiring it via Singapore-based producer-distributor Bomanbridge Media.

Chef In Your Ear was devised by The Format People and each week sees two award-winning chefs go head-to-head to create the best dish, but rather than making it themselves they guide a novice through an earpiece.

The Canadian version is produced by Toronto-based indie HLP and the format has also been licensed to CJ E&M in South Korea and Mongol TV in Mongolia.
