The thing I don't understand about cake challenges is that those cakes taste like absolute poo poo. It's just fondant icing and stale cake cut by a hacksaw. Why not just get a normal cake and hire your local, underemployed sculptor? Cake shows make no sense. If someone got me a big fancy cake that tasted like crap I would be mad.

Parachute posted:Granted, tons of shows do this as a way to try to focus on the "characters" of a business, who in this case, are the most boring group of milquetoasts to ever walk the planet. I'm surprised Geof doesn't fall asleep when making his creations. If I worked at Charm City Cakes I'd skip over feeling occasionally useless and skip straight to hanging myself from the nearest cieling fan.

Completely agree. If all judges and contestants are willing to pretend that tilapia is some sort of well-regarded gourmet fish, then they have no credibility as far as the competition goes. Next Iron Chef might be decent television but it is the opposite of reality tv and a failure as a gameshow.

No Butt Stuff posted:They annoy the hell out of me. I'd watch a show with Samuelsson and Zakarian as the leads (not judging) any day of the week though. I'd like to see either of them doing just a cooking show. I miss those shows, where a competent chef would just sort of cook with you in a calm television environment. No wacky props, brass bands, stupid clocks or smug judges. Either Zakarian or Samuelsson would rock that format. The last good one I can remember was Molto Mario.
