Food Network Challenge
Tonight Food Network Challenge is showcasing pies. They are also rerunning the Haunted Gingerbread Houses today. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I don’t care for the challenges that are just food, and not artistry. The chicken cookoffs, the burgers, pies… they really bore me. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that the people that are competing are super excited for it and all, but the entertainment just isn’t there. Honestly, if I wanted to watch a bunch of people putting strange stuff together, barbequeing it and calling it a gourmet burger, I’d go to a really fancy restaraunt, pay $25 and at least be able to eat it. The pastry challenges though, well that’s a different story all together! Those people are artists. They are literally making sculptures and paintings and well, art… out of chocolate, sugar, cake, etc… While watchign the show we are right there with them, feeling the excitement and drama. Screaming at the television, (why didn’t you practice this in a humid room BEFORE you came to Florida in JULY?!?!?!) Holding our collective breath while they are moving their masterpieces to the judging table. It is joy and tragedy, and drama and bold entertainment. Join me in begging the food network, no more Pies, no more burgers, no more chicken, give me art, give me suspense, give me a Challenge!!!
And for crying out loud, go read about the ultimate contest reality show!!!

I agree - the non-artistic challenges are boring to watch. I loooooove the cake competitions though!

I know, Food Network is normally so good about mixing the entertainment with the informative. It just makes me wonder who in their research group thought that non-artistic challenges would be a good thing…
