I need to vent....

So I'm watching the first episode of The Next Iron Chef: Super Chefs and I hear something that just pisses me right the hell off.

One of the judges is this chick that is a chef and writer for Iron Chef UK. When being introduced, each chef talks about what they're looking for when judging. The other two made perfect sense. Flavor, creativity, etc. Of course. That's the point. This chick says presentation is second and taste was third. Hello!? Earth to whore, this is food. Shouldn't flavor be first, second at the worst? Maybe it's just me. that's insanity. That would be like someone scoring a round based on whose trunks matched their gloves the best, with effective punching being the next criteria in line.

She also used the term "foodgasm" in an attempt to be cute. It was a colossal failure.

This presentation bullshit pisses me off anyway. Apparently if you dress it up enough, most uptight assholes won't notice that there's only three tablespoons of food on the damn plate. I'm here to fill up, not socialize and take pictures of my 80% empty plate.

But in a competition for already accomplished chefs, you place presentation above TASTE?

Bitch, please.



But WTF ever. I love Food Network and Cooking Channel, and always give special preference to any show featuring Aida Mollenkamp or Giada de Laurentiis anyway. Who cares what that useless whore judge thinks anyway.
