Good show except for that Mellissa cooker lady

Everything about her grinds my gears but the show is good otherwise.

Nice Series, but the Judges are sooo conceited, it's annoying af

The Competitors are well picked, and I like to watch them cook. Great personalities, but all of the Judges and the Moderators are so annoying, it's hard to watch.

Same clothes

I like this show as it is very informative and definitely makes the mouth water....... but WHY do they wear the same clothes every episode ? It is something that just bothers me continuously !

Lyric Lewis

I guess Lyric Lewis is supposed to be a cohost to Rutlage Wood, but she brings nothing to the show. If she gets one line per episode thats a lot. BTW never heard of her before.

Good show minus the annoying Judges

Good concept of a show reminds me a bit of British baking show but the Judges need to be replaced, They all judge on personal likes and dislikes like the sandwich episode where Melissa disliked a sandwich just because it has onions on it!! Who cares if you don't like onions it shouldn't matter. Anyway good show regardless.. maybe more focus on the food and preparation instead cutting to the judges talk half the episode.

Trivia
Throughout the whole season 1, nobody appears to have changed their clothes at all. Each person is wearing the exact same thing every episode, as if it were all filmed on the same day, even though a comment is made by one of the hosts that it's been 8 consecutive days. The reason they wore the same clothes is it made editing easier with the shows post production.
