Iron Chef isn't on the plate (it's just boring). Those people are top
dogs in their field, very well paid and have a crew to help them in
the kitchen. Top Chef and Chopped are the shows that make me cringe.
They are taking advantage of desperate wannabes who need the money.

Currently, Food Network is advertising a "challenge" where their own
TV chefs compete against each other. I like that idea. That concept
will be good for a one time view and I'll either watch it when it's on
or record it for later. At this point, I don't even know when it will
be shown. Maybe the ad said and I wasn't paying attention, but the
end result is that I don't know (and I'm not interested enough to do
any "research").
