Unterföhring – September 12, 2026 -- SAT.1 will premiere the 15th season of its culinary competition format "The Taste" on October 21, 2026, offering a total prize package of 50,000 euros in cash plus a professional kitchen outfit from cookware brand Fissler.
Season premiere pits four celebrity chefs against street food in opening coach battle.
The nine-episode season opens with a special coach battle in which chefs Tim Raue, Alexander Herrmann, Elif Oskan and Steffen Henssler must recreate street food dishes such as döner, currywurst, fish and chips and a burger on a single spoon. The season airs weekly on Wednesdays at 20:15 CET on SAT.1 and simultaneously streams on Joyn.
Winner secures 50,000 euros, Fissler cookware and a magazine cover feature.
Beyond the cash prize, the eventual champion will receive an interview and cover story in the "prisma" TV magazine, extending brand exposure from broadcast into print media. The format is produced by Redseven Entertainment GmbH, with model Angelina Kirsch returning as host.
Format's 15-season run underscores SAT.1's dependence on long-running entertainment franchises.
The milestone season makes "The Taste" one of SAT.1's longest-running entertainment properties, reinforcing the broadcaster's strategy of pairing linear TV with Joyn's on-demand distribution to retain audiences in a fragmented German television market.
