untateve Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I watched it last night. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet and want to watch a few more episodes. It was a cross between Top Chef and Iron Chef. It was interesting but it felt a bit rushed like they were trying to do too much in an hour.

policyvote Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) I saw the very beginning and the very end. I think they might be getting a little too cute with the ingredients . . . I mean, you know one of the four contestants is a pastry chef, but the first course's protein is . . . octopus? Also, Ted Allen is at his best when he's being Ted Allen, spontaneously. He looked really uncomfortable making all the 'chop' jokes and puns that someone else wrote. He either needs to play it like lives hang in the balance--like, say, 'the Chairman' on Iron Chef America--or, practically winking at the camera--like Alton Brown on Iron Chef America. Going for serious but not buying it makes me not buy it either. Peace policy Edited January 14, 2009 by policyvote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keggerz Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I have an idea for a Food Network Show but have never put enough energy into finding out how to pitch it... Fish Out of Water would be the shows name....the concept is to take Rich folk to backwoods nasty looking places with great food and backwoods rednecks to 5 star places...of course they cant know where they are going just that they are going....might even make it a bit like throwdown in that they think they are filming something else and its not about the food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDFFFreak Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) The show was okay. Top Chef makes almost any other food competition show look very weak by comparison. Edited January 17, 2009 by TDFFFreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make great television indeed. Imagine some snooty broad complaining about the decor and some hillbilly wondering what the hell to do with an oyster fork.

nuke'em ttg Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Still waiting for you to do one of these shows Bier. +1.....I think Guy has the best shows on the FNC......Triple D is awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Neutron Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I've tried to watch these shows and can't get into them. Too American Idol for me. Does anyone really believe that ass wipe on Hell's Kitchen would not be killed, gutted and braised of it was really reality TV? I do like to watch coverage of competetive BBQ.

That's a sweet gig he's got, but I hope he purges after all the diner food he downs. Guy will be lucky to be alive after just a few years eating like that.

Do not compare Hell's Kitchen to Top Chef. Top Chef has competitors who really work as chefs in fine restaurants. Hell's Kitchen grabs the bus boy from Denny's whose IQ hovers around 72. I can't watch Hell's Kitchen because there is no way the "chefs" on that show could ever run a restaurant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
