The show is fun, entertaining and provides some good ideas for meals and different food ideas. That's nice because you get tired of the same old thing all the time.
I know that the competitors must have classes or tutoring on how to make the different dishes because even seasoned chefs have notes or recipes available.
The episode on baking cakes was one of the best, but I know that the cooks had to have advanced knowledge of the cake they had to make and probably cheat notes.
As I said, this episode was fun and the cakes were really pretty. I think to be fair, though, the cooks should have to make the same cake
One criticism of the show, Gordon's grammar makes me cringe at times. He says between you and I all the time which is horrible grammar. Thankfully, fewer ppl are using that poor construction less often than they used to.
I think that ppl thought it made them sound more intellectual.
