I love cooking shows. I absolutely love them. I’m not even too picky about the gimmick of choice. A failing restaurant has a limited amount of time and an even more limited budget to fix everything that is wrong with their business…and hopefully heal their broken family in the process? Yep, I’ll watch that. Several world-class chefs go head-to-head to create culinary masterpieces with a basketful of random ingredients like kale, ostrich eggs, rainbow sherbet, and candied lima beans? Well, duh. That’s appointment viewing. People who don’t know how to boil an egg are forced to exhibit their cooking shortcomings by creating haute cuisine in the presence of Michelin starred chefs. Yes, please!
