I can't even begin to figure out a reason why this would be necessary. "We're gonna go undercover to determine if these chefs aren't good" ...what? Also Willie Deagle is literally the most unstandable person on Food Network. It's a high bar to reach but every time he says anything I just kinda want to punch him.

I've been to two places featured on DDD, Hodad's in San Diego and Capones in Coeur d'alene, Idaho. Both were pretty drat good, Hodad's had an hour long line out the door but the burgers were great, and Capones was your typical all American eatery. Good grinders, pizza and beer selection. Could have done without the douchey "Guy was here" stencils adorning both places though.

Hell's Kitchen will be starting again soon but that's on Fox and this is a cable channels thread (I think?) and HK has its own thread anyway. Hrrrrgggghhh. I don't know if I can handle Worst Cooks in America. I almost never cook and even with my extremely limited experience with cooking this show is really frustrating.

I wanted to hit the TV when I saw that. WHAT. gently caress. Whatever. I assume the Stakeout show probably needs a ratings boost from people watching Wost Cooks. I still love Anne yelling at bad cooks and that's all that really matters to me. It also got me to watch Chef Wanted which I had no interest in previously.

After watching tonight I'm now convinced that they are feeding the contestants lines to say in the interviews on Worst Cooks. All of a sudden after something happens they cut to a line from one of them that's a little too perfect and delivered in that same read off a prompt manner as Pawn Stars. I mean 'I really choked that chicken' seriously?

My wife and I have been to a few DDD places. Most of them disappointing beyond belief. Of course, with these spots your mileage may vary. Studio Diner - San Diego http://www.yelp.com/biz/studio-diner-san-diego Expensive, lackluster food, seafood was problematic Gaffey Street Diner - San Pedro http://www.yelp.com/biz/gaffey-street-diner-san-pedro Dennys with worse decor Schooner or Later - Long Beach http://www.yelp.com/biz/schooner-or-later-long-beach Crowded, and "The Mess" was a big egg scramble My wife and I have started looking at Yelp reviews before doing any more DDD. My friend that lives in VA has had great luck with DDD places so maybe it's just the locality we are in.

Well, I couldn't watch more than five minutes of Rachel vs Guy but I enjoy Worst Cooks. The reason I hate Rachel vs Guy is that I know those people are paid actors who just want a check. Its the same reason I can't stand any show with celebrity participants. And they are all hams beyond belief and the cooking is poo poo and minimal. The reason I enjoy Worst Cooks is because I like the learning aspect of it. Its very basic but for some reason I love it. They actually cook on the show instead of prance around hamming it up. Well, mostly. And I'm not cynical enough to believe the entire thing is faked with fakey mcfakersons faking it up. I do believe these people want to be on television, are edited into certain types, act like baffoons for the cameras, and fed questions and/or answers. But I do not believe they are fake bad cooks or fake eliminated or any of that stuff.

I spent the entire runtime of Worst Cooks doing a Walking Dead photoshop and when I looked up at the end to see who was going home it gibed so perfectly with what I learned from the last ep that I didn't feel like I missed anything.Failboattootoot posted:Last year they broke out into a song and dance routine.

In the Chopped rerun they're showing right now Zakarian said "It was almost like cannibalism!" with regard to eating rare shrimp. I wonder what he meant to say.

I really wish the Cooking Channel didn't go down the same path that Food Network did, it's like watching ESPN 8, "the ocho". I guess I am going to have to start DVR'ing the Create block of shows on PBS. Well, all of them except the creepy BBQ guy.

I just caught a moment of Sweet Genius and one dude is wearing a red captain's hat and someone made a titty. Like, a lumpy, flesh-colored titty, topped off with a nipple and everything. I don't know if it was SUPPOSED to be a titty, but that was a fuckin titty, man. And I really gotta stress the point about a dude with a red captain's hat.

In the Maybe a Good Show but at the Wrong Time section: Seemingly premiering tonight at 7:30PM EST on PBS is Rick Steves' Delicious Europe, as opposed to his general travels otherwise. My worry is that another chapter of the Pledge Drive Saga is recently upon us, such that at least here in my corner of GA a great number of episodes may simply never air correctly as was the case with David Chang's Mind of a Chef.

I will watch for Nadia G. With all the gimmick matches they have for Chopped, I wonder why they haven't done a Raw Food challenge yet. I think it'd be pretty interesting to see an episode where people have to prepare dishes where they really aren't cooking anything.

I've actually wondered about the possibility that the makers of Chopped film more (possibly many more) episodes than they actually air. It seems likely to me that they get a set of contestants that just don't work at all from a dramatic, reality-show-type standpoint. Probably this could include gimmick Chopped episodes that just don't work for whatever reason. Or maybe two out of the three people set their stations on fire or drop all of their protein or just flame out in a horrible fashion. I don't think that'd make for good television except for people with extreme schadenfreude. So what I'm saying is maybe at some point they worked up the idea for a raw foods Chopped but it just didn't work when they actually tried to produce it.

You kidding, the bigger the trainwreck the better for Chopped. They even had one of those redemption episodes recently for people who had wiped out badly in their first appearance. And they're never going to spend the money to make an episode and not air it.

They'd just as soon spend some extra money to re-film the episode or segment than to ditch an entire produced episode. I mean, I could see it happening once or twice over the lifetime of the show, but I doubt it would be a regular thing.
