Chef cinco estrellas

I always love watching Michel Roux. And I thought, these must be really top chefs to be considered for this position. But they are not. I can't believe any one of them could run a 5 star restaurant at a luxury hotel. I don't think the winner will be there for long. I certainly would not pay a fortune to eat that person's food. I kind of didn't believe it. The whole thing was kind of stupid. Very inexperienced chefs. I don't understand, why one has to write such long reviews on here. It's really stupid. What more should I say? Michel Roux did not look best pleased, and I understand him. A joke.

I was really looking forward to this when I saw the legendary Michel Roux Jr. Was in this.

I have to preface this by saying I do not like reality shows (and can't stand the Food Network) I only like cooking competitions where they can cook a lot better than me and/or are high end pros...like Masterchef Pro, UK and Great British Menu.

What a disappointment. It has that cheap production theme of most reality shows, highlighting more on the quirks of the contestants rather than the food. The judging was kind of okay, but lacking in some way. Could be it felt over dramatic...an air of arrogance or insincerity, imo. Some of the challenges struck me as slightly low brow. I think one of them was for an "influencer" (omg...kill me now)

I also have a very difficult time believing Michelin starred Chef Roux is going to let a newly christened winner really be head chef of an off shoot restaurant under HIS reputation at the Langham!

I watched it, but FFWD most of it, just to see the winner.

I never go out of my way to criticise or put down but this show has to be a joke.

Michael Roux Jr your father inspired me when I was learning to become a chef reading his books and studding his techniques.

So I was excited and looking forward to watching 10 amazing chefs create stunning and spectacular dishes, only to be let down / disappointed by the lack of talent cooking right in front of you.

The chefs chosen for Junior MasterChef Australia (12 years old) would have out-performed these so-called chefs.

Mr Roux, you should have fired your chefs on episode 1 and put another ad in the local news paper.

I want devour the outcome but you won't be surprised at how stupid it is.

Why would you pick average or below average chefs for a supposedly top hotel? Drama is why.

As others said, I got fatigued hearing '5 star' every 10 minutes.

The chef yelling at the chefs while running the pass was unacceptable, this type of behaviour is no longer a thing. The woman appeared to have little knowledge and I am guessing was brought on as eye candy and ended up being annoying.

The chefs were average and I highly doubt they have run a good kitchen. Some even complained they had to do deserts and couldn't do a decent pastry? Are you kidding? They should be able to do this with a blind fold on. I also have serious doubts about their hygiene. Sweating all over their dishes and flicking long hair all over the place. Blurgh.

There wasn't one dish I wanted to try, all average, none cool or interesting and just rubbish. It's a 3 because of the high wastage, pretentious prats and constant inane banter from the hosts.

This has been done so many times before and so much better. These chefs are a long way from being anywhere near the top of the game, more like amateurs than anything.

The challenges aren't interesting and the luxury one was bordering on offensive while the quality of the cooking was very variable throughout the series.

Editing was poor with accidental shots of cameramen and obvious jumps between what was happening in the kitchen and contestant / judges facial expressions.

And it was oh so very predictable. In the episode when one candidate made a mistake and had to spend the entire service correcting that mistake, leaving the others to manage the pass on their own, and nothing was really said about it everyone in my household knew they were the intended winner.

Disappointing, no season 2 please.
