Secret Chef

I really enjoyed this show, and I've watched a lot of cooking shows over the years. I thought the addition of "Cheffy" was brilliant - comes across as almost psychopathic at times, and I loved it. There was a bit of a post-apocalyptic feel to it somehow, and I thought there were a lot of unique qualities that kept me guessing throughout.

I really hope there's another series because it was refreshing to watch and I binged the whole thing in two days.

Only thing I'd like to add is I'd love to see more plant-based cooking in these shows, because there could be so much creativity potential there and I think it would help keep that edge.

This show is good. I liked the concept. Was enjoying the chefs and challenges. I could only sit thru 2 episodes though. They use a CGI/AI host that gets irritating quickly. Definitely an AI wrote this because the jokes are horrible. Also the voice is high pitched I think it's that sound only dogs can hear. I couldn't take another minute of the cheffy host. If you're looking for a cooking show there are much better shows out there. If you do decide to watch you will probably need to mute the sound during the cheffy segments. I hope AI isn't the way tv is going because I won't watch. And no I'm not in the industry.

I started out quite enjoying it, a bit of a different concept. Quickly some of the contestants became quite unlikeable. I like food shows and there are shows out there that show that whilst it is a competition you don't have to tear down other contestants or strategise against them, pity nobody told some of these jerks. I kept watching to hope those ones would be eliminated.

I do wonder how much is scripted or they are given a role to play on screen, Just when they got rid of some of the jerks they sadly reappeared in various episodes, a couple were insufferable. Social media success does not always translate well to tv. The wrong person wins in my opinion.

Good idea with some twists, but it needs a real presenter not a stupid cartoon chef hat. It felt really childish and patronising and kind of frustrated me as I watched the show. The contestants were great though.

I liked the fact they blind taste stuff as it removes bias and gets entertaining as they figure out who is who

I had a favourite chef and was rooting for them and it was cool to see how home cooks did against the professionals too.

It's would be kind of fun to do a celebrity chef version of the show to see what they say about each other lol!

I think 5/10 is fair since the format needs work.

I love cooking shows - Top Chef, Master Chef, etc., which is why I thought I'd like this. I liked most of it. Animated "Chefy" almost made me quit this show - so annoying & silly. I liked the cooking challenges but found the "Reviews" section confusing & too fast to fully comprehend. I also didn't see the point of everyone having an Alias - Chef Donut, Chef Arugula, etc.. The White Elephant challenge was probably the best.... who knew it was possible to cook with a clothing steamer or iron?

If there's a Season 2: get rid of animated "Chefy", and still give everyone a printout of the reviews - all without aliases or names.
