What happens

Operación Chef is a Puerto Rican cooking show that airs on Telemundo Puerto Rico. The show started as a reality competition with several cooks competing for a top spot, with the winner receiving a contract for a cooking show in the channel. The first winner of Operación Chef was Chef Enrique Piñeiro, who ended up hosting the show for three years afterward. After quitting in 2009, the producers made a second competition which was won by Chef Moisés Izquierdo. Chef Izquierdo hosted the show for little more than a year. In 2011, the producers announced they weren't renewing his contract. The most recent installment of the show features five chefs offering their takes on different areas of cuisine throughout the week. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
