>implying that's not the best part

My favorite one was a dude whose dad was mean to him when he was a kid. He brought it up at every chance he got, and at one point said that "whenever I cook I always my father's voice in my head yelling at me to do better" when he was presenting his entree.

This.

At least Cutthroat Kitchen is somewhat entertaining.

>> No.6605916

Once you've watched enough episodes, Chopped becomes the funniest show on television. You start to notice shit like the backstories, or the dramatic stingers and cuts, or the fact that at least one of the chefs is fucking insane and/or some kind of Mad TV character.

Anyone who doesn't like it just isn't watching it right.

They're both fucking amazing. The difference is that Cutthroat Kitchen takes itself less seriously, and a lot of the humor in Chopped comes from how seriously everything is taken. You're laughing with Cutthroat Kitchen, but you're laughing at Chopped.

the judges are the worst part of these shows

I dunno. I think it's irritating. he acts like a literal culinary pepe and it's annoying imo and definitely not believable.

He reminds me of a kid tormenting bugs, in a good way. I could see how it could grate, though.

Does being homosexual automatically triple your chances of getting selected to be on the show? At the very least every other episode has at least one homosexual contestant and considering their proportion of the population that's extreme over representation.

>> No.6606052

I love when the equipment is broken because it's supposed to add to the tension but it never does. When contestant B's food processor is broken so they need to change their entire dish with 2 minutes left while contestant A is pureeing carrots right next to them, it reflects horribly on the production crew. What a shit show.

>> No.6606780

It's okay, but this show's ace in the hole for drama is always a contestant cutting his hand while chopping some veggies. They cue the dramatic music and half the time, the contestant doesnt even catch it until way later

With the speed they're forced to work at I wouldn't go near the mandolin unless it was absolutely necessary.

Never watch Chopped with someone who works as a professional chef. It's like watching House with a doctor or Suits with a lawyer.
