Biography
He became a celebrity chef[6] as the host of the English-language cooking series Chuck's Day Off on the Food Network in Canada and on Cooking Channel in the United States. Since then, he has hosted a travel and cooking show called Chuck's Week Off: Mexico, and Chuck's Eat The Street, where he explores foods along a street in cities around the United States.[7]
Hughes competed on the American cooking show, Iron Chef America, defeating Iron Chef Bobby Flay, becoming the youngest Canadian chef to win, and only the third to do so.[8][9][10] He was a competitor on Food Network's The Next Iron Chef: Super Chefs competition.
In 2014, Hughes was a recurring judge on season one of Chopped Canada.[11] He is also the co-host of Casa's À couteaux tirés, a French-language cooking competition show, based somewhat on the American series Knife Fight.[12]
