In the VOX cooking show "Ready to beef", the star chefs Tim Mälzer and Tim Raue ask for a culinary battle for fame and honor: Two professional chefs from completely different regions of Germany dare to enter the ring with their own team and their own philosophy for a furious cooking competition. Because instead of carefully selecting the ingredients of a dish with measure and leisure and seasoning them finely, the renowned chefs at "Ready to beef" are tremendously electrified. In three rounds of 10 to 20 minutes each, the cooking teams are given one or two completely unexpected products at the beginning, which they then have to use as the main ingredient in their dish. While they are cooking, they are surrounded by feverish food fans who transform the scene into a cauldron. Tim Mälzer is the host and moderator of the fast-paced Kochfights. Star chef Tim Raue is also part of the party and acts as referee.
