Last Bite Hotel

I find most Food Network shows to be insufferable these days, but I liked this one. It felt SLIGHTLY more relaxed in pace, and the theme was a fun change (slightly spooky vibes/setup without being gross Halloween food - no fake eyeballs here!) I especially liked the idea that the chefs had to come prepared for versatility, and use it up, make it do, or do without - it was interesting to me to see how they repurposed ingredients or substituted others. (I am a home chef who spends way too much money on single-use ingredients and can't figure out ways to use them up!) I also felt the contestants and judges and host were slightly more supportive of each other than a lot of competition cooking shows. Finally, I really enjoyed Tituss on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and enjoyed seeing his semi-subtle shtick here. I would say the spooky vibe is suitable for around ages 6 and up, particularly for kids who enjoy cooking.

I hope that they decide to renew this show. It's fantastic. The host is weird but perfect. I love the setting in the old looking hotel. I hope that future chefs are unaware of how tough it is. I want to see more of this hotel.

It would be nice if one of the dinners was to a group of ordinary people (not chefs) also a blind tasting where the samplers of the meal, so that the kitchen chefs cannot be matched with the meal... Also the $25,000 prize is a bit low. I think that $50.000 would be better.

More of the traveling to the hotel would be fun. Maybe a hike into the surrounding woods to find herbs would be fun.

Keep them coming.

I was so impressed with the creativity of the chefs in this show. To be able to come up with the meals they created given the pantries they had and the ingredients that kept diminishing was amazing. I also loved all the judges and knew most of them and really respect their opinions. What ruined the show for me was the ridiculous host. I admit I am totally unfamiliar with him, but I thought a show like this with such creativity of chefs and such esteemed judges deserved more than an overacting joke of a character for a host. I found him intolerable. The only reason I stuck with it was because of the talent of the chefs they had on the show. They really amazed me every week. And now we have one week left. I'm anxious to see who wins but all that are left are definitely worthy. I would love to see this come back for another season with a more serious host. I found this guy to be an insult to the integrity of the show.

I loved the show, but Tituss made it almost too bad to watch. His antics were too over the top and detrimental to the show. Just look at Alex' facial expressions.... she knew. I would hope that any further seasons would not be so stupid. He made it almost comedic, which is NOT a thing I want to see on a cooking show. He needs to do better. He may be a comedian, but cooking competitions are serious business and not a place to be an over-the-top comedic arena. Take that other places. It does not belong here. Once again, PLEASE be better in the next season, IF there is one. Just my 2cents on this ... I know I am not the majority.

I loved this show. A great way to start the Halloween season (I'm hoping 🤞🏼) An original concept.

If you like cooking shows, you should enjoy this.

It's a different take, but you're still learning cooking techniques, but with some fun.

I've never seen a cooking show like this.

I'm actually tired of the same old competitions.

This is different in a funny way.

It took a show or two, then I was looking forward to the next.
