The Great American Recipe

Who are these hosts and judges? No offense, but they make or break the show. Who are they? Could they afford some create chefs? And the host...its like they said let's make sure we get diversity over quality. Kind of annoying to watch. I just like watching pple cook. This concept doesn't get old to me. It is better than many of these corny netflix series though where everything looks cooky and upside down like a pee wee Herman show. I know if I stop watching, it wasn't the cooks. It was the judges and host. They were overkill, and who are they anyway? What qualifies them? That's my biggest annoyance right now. Otherwise, you tried Create. Thank you!

In the end, it was a robbery. Definitely disagree with the winner but then again, the judges weren't much to qualify anyone.

I'm not sure why the production is rendered in extra-vivid color, oversharpened. It has a look that reminds me of early astronomical photos from the Hubble telescope that were processed with unsharp masking. The result is unrealistic.

Where the Great British Bake Off gets people from all around the isles to to bake and add their spin to classic or invent new British bakes.

The Great American Recipe encourages Americans from all walks of life to share their own recipes and takes on how they interpret American food. The show attempts to show regional and cultural variations of different foods.

Some highlights are a Korean Americans gochujang tacos. A Vietnamese Americans spaghetti and meatballs with sriracha, and that's only in the first 2 episodes. Personally I believe the show does a good job of showing the complexity of American food and how good in America changes over time through the influence of immigration.

Really enjoyed The Great American Recipe. Home cooks represented many diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds and prepared unique and interesting recipes. And they all got along; no cut-throat maneuvers in any episodes. Great show to watch if you are into cooking shows.

Wow. I like a good cooking show as much as the next guy. But this show is a joke. They have categories like love on a plate and put your DNA on a plate. And then the judges go around and tell these people who have been making a dish for their whole lives how to do it properly. And then they base their decisions on whether or not they cry during the judging or have a heartfelt story. This is absolutely ridiculous. I can't believe I watched it as long as I did. Some of the dishes are actually quite good. But, the fake smiles, the ridiculous sappy stories and constant flashbacks to love and family gets so old. If I hear the word family one more time I'm going to vomit.
