Around the World in 80 Plates is served cold

Published: May 16, 2012

The show is basically The Amazing Race meets Top Chef. Around the World in 80 Plates starts with 12 chefs in London. Every week they travel to a new city to compete in cooking challenges using the local cuisine. One chef is eliminated each week. It sounds interesting, but it’s highly deceitful.

This show seems more like an eating challenge. If I wanted to watch people shove gross food down their throats, I would watch Man vs. Food. The chefs rarely have to use their cooking skills. They may occasionally identify an ingredient or cut some vegetables, but even I could do that.

So by labeling this as a cooking show, the producers were terribly wrong. My opinion, everyone should just stick to watching Top Chef, a quality cooking show.
