Go Fridge

Go Fridge is a Chinese reality cooking show that reimagines a Korean format for Tencent Video. Rather than following chefs in a studio kitchen alone, the program centers two guests who bring their refrigerators into the filming space and chat with the hosts and a rotating lineup of cooks. After the fridge tour, the guest hand picks two chefs to compete in a timed challenge, each given fifteen minutes to turn a dish from whatever is inside the fridge plus a randomized extra ingredient. The goal is to craft something tasty under pressure while the ambiance stays playful and conversational rather than purely competitive. The emphasis lies on creativity and dialogue around everyday ingredients as the guest selects the winner.

Produced in China by Tencent Video, the show adapts the South Korean series Please Take Care of My Refrigerator. It uses a simple studio setup that foregrounds conversation, pantry surprises, and exchanges between hosts and guests in the studio.

By translating a format that keeps the focus on what people own and cook with, Go Fridge reflects a growing appetite for pantry based challenges on Chinese TV. It spotlights ordinary ingredients and friendly banter, balancing competition with everyday practicality and crowd friendly humor. Its casual tone mirrors snackable content.

Audience reception is modest and best measured by a small vote sample that yields about 7.0 out of 10. The series treats eating as improvisation under time, and it foregrounds host guest dialogue over rigid judging, with flavor and personality guiding outcomes.

There are no widely reported awards or nominations for Go Fridge, and it is usually noted for its format adaptation rather than accolades. In discussions online, fans reference the show's concept and host dynamics as its strongest points. This reflects a niche appeal rather than mainstream award worthy status.
