A Batalha dos Carrinhos

Fun hour, I love the spicy shows and the cheesy jokes

Fun show!! Guy is a great host and down to earth person. Love how much some of them miss their friend The Cuban by celebrating his life every year. I really like when professional chef play for a charity and sometimes Guy add more money for the cause. Some of the most favorite shows are the thanksgiving and Christmas. Is a show that all family members can watch and you can learn how to incorporate day ( common) ingredients into an outstanding dish. I personally have learn so much about ingredients. This is so worth to watch.. Hunter is on his way to be a great host like his dad. Kuddos to them.

I really love the concept of this show, combining the culinary creativity of Chopped with the frantic mayhem of Supermarket Sweep to create a fun entertaining cooking show that showcases the chefs' resourcefulness in themed or limited scenarios. Guy's chubby golden retriever personality is a perfect fit for a tv show like this and should easily entertain anyone who likes cooking and/or game shows.

For anyone who's unfamiliar with Chopped or Supermarket Sweep, I'll lay out the concepts for both.

Chopped: A cooking show where chefs compete to see who's the best chef ever made. They're given a basket of ingredients, which almost always include something very obscure, and have to prepare a dish in each round using those ingredients and anything else in the kitchen before time runs out to wow the judges. If they don't make the cut, they get chopped.

Supermarket Sweep: A trivia game show from the 60s that involves contestants who win a trivia round having to race around a supermarket and fill their cart with as many items as possible within a given time limit.

Let me start by saying that in recent years, I'd given up on cooking shows due to being burned out. Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, Masterchef, etc all disappointed me, Chopped was fine but still too serious for my taste, and I felt like there was no cooking show worth spending time on anymore. I had heard about this show over the years, but never got around to watching it. That is, until a few months ago, simply on a whim.

It was on TV, nothing else I cared about was on, so I gave it a shot. Guess what? I loved it. I love the unique dishes that the contestants make. I love the fact that the judges aren't snobs like on most cooking shows. Surprisingly enough, I liked Guy Fieri, who I didn't think much of beforehand.

This is an easy show to watch and enjoy. The contestants are easy to root for most of the time, the judges are quality and the whole show has a somewhat care-free, easy going vibe to it. The episodes fly by, but you still get to enjoy them while they're going on. It's a perfect mix. There's a reason why this show is popular, and I hate that it took me so long to get on board to give it a shot.

The fact that there are so many brand new one-line reviews trashing it seems like a clear effort by trolls to brigade it. Never, and I mean never take a short review with an extremely high or low grade seriously. If I had done that, then maybe I never give this show a chance, and that would've been a loss for me. It's undoubtedly my favorite cooking show now, and while I'm never going to get around to watching every, or even half of the episodes, it's nice to know that I've finally found a cooking show I can enjoy while knowing that I won't get tired from it anytime soon.

If you like watching chefs create food using stuff of the supermarket shelf, then you will like this show. With a host like Guy, it can get silly, funny, and crazy quickly. Good for the whole family. Only complaint I have is that my supermarket does not stock a quarter of the things found here!
