I always thought they were volunteers from service clubs or those people who do tv shows as audience members to fund raise for their groups, not actual servers.

I was wrapping up Good Eats before canceling Discovery+ and lol that the last episode before being canceled has the theme of "post-apocalypse" and it ends with the generator cutting out

Anyone else watching the great food truck race? One if the contestants seemed to have a breakdown, got out of the car and just ran away. There were no telling had interviews with her afterwords, they just bounced. It was very odd.

Really sucks for her that her teammates just bounced like that. Hopefully she gets a job at a more stable truck back home.

That sounds bad for the partner but we really should normalize running the gently caress away from a reality show if you don't like the experience.

First ep of Netflix Iron Chef is delightful. A theme + ingredient is a fun twist. Still suffers from the same thing as the rest of the U.S. run in that it doesn't have the gravitas the Japanese one had. Maybe the original was seen as just as cheesy when it aired, but something about how serious the show took itself made it more enjoyable. Here they kind of go half and half, and it makes it feel more generic. Sucks that the competitor can't choose the Iron Chef they're fighting. That was a really cool element of the original series.

mystes posted:I watched a tiny but but my biggest problem is that aside from Mark Dacascos at least trying to do the iron chef shtick, it just feels like literally every other food competition tv show to the point where it could almost have been filmed as another show and rebranded as an "Iron Chef" show in postproduction. Yeah exactly. I've been half watching recent Top Chef's seasons, and it loving killed me when one of the sous chef's of this Iron Chef iteration asked "HEY COOK, WHAT ARE YA DOING". It's something you see routinely in Top Chef and more noticeably in the Last Chance Kitchen's where a random observer cook will shout that. It just feels.... super play-booky. Like hey we need to prompt them, so have a person shout it. Which is a bummer, cause the show really doesn't need that. Reeks of a lack of confidence, which is annoying given Alton's talked in interview's about trying to move away from formulaic tv. Three episodes in, it's fine. But could be a lot better, and does feel super generic, which is a huge shame.

I don't know how to break it to you.... they didn't actually choose, it was all scheduled ahead of time and the chefs all rising together was shot ahead of time and cut in. But that is an example of a fun element that's missing. If you're going to go for that kind of campy show then lean all the way into it otherwise what the hell are you doing.

In the past week I've seen Korean army stew on the Youtube page for the New York Times and Bon Appetit. Crazy to me that when I was a kid everyone thought my lunch food was disgusting but now a slapped together soup made of spam and kimchi is somehow mainstream and cool. Also I'm seriousy impressed that Chris Morocco was able to recreate the dish without any knowledge of what it was.

Re the most recent iron chef, there's not enough episodes, you're are there only like 8 episodes? Also I wish they didn't have Andrew Zimmern as a seemingly permanent judge. He's always seemed like a tool and it continues to come across.

Original Iron Chef is one of those things that won't ever come back until a production truly channels and understands The Spirit Of The Thing alongside the nuances. Same as the legendary edutainment pleasure that was Dotch Ryori.

My older brother did that last year on his foodgram using a kit from some Korean company that he filmed for a promotion. It tasted fuckin' gross when I tried it.

I'm just 3 episodes in, but New Iron Chef thoughts: I think it's good once they actually get cooking? The pre-cooking chefs lame bantering (Samuelsson with the "I'm going to win" stuff seems way off) or Crenn hamming to the camera was cringe-worthy. I know the competition is going to have a veneer over it because it's for television, but I just want to watch people cooking cool poo poo and trying to top the other. Stop doing dumb poo poo like throwing football players into the kitchen. Alton and Dacascos doing their Iron Chef stuff is good, Kristen Kish is a delight, and I think the permanent judges are decent. And it was way too early to pull out the "Iron Chef team vs Iron Chef team" thing. It's 4 episodes in, we haven't even seen all 5 chefs cook on their own yet.

Cousin using a specific Eastern European ethnicity as an insult for stupid immediately brought me back to my childhood of growing up in the Great Lakes region. I never lived in Chicago itself, so I can’t speak for any specific authenticity, but the writing nails the general region pretty solidly.

I think the first time I saw it was on one of Bourdain's shows on a trip to South Korea, he met up with a mukbang livestreamer and that's what they were eating.

I have a rotary cheese grater like that — not mounted to the table, but handheld. I store it in the fridge with a small block of parm in it and have on-demand, no-effort grated cheese.

But, afaik this is the only restoration channel that uses the food items to actually put effort into food. The cheese computer video was amazing, but iirc he just cut of a slice of cheese and ate it once he was done.
