Best Telly Cookery Competitions

[Huguenot]

I've just been watching Austrlian Masterchef, and I'm quite convinced that this is a runaway winner of the best of breed for this kind of show.

The format often uses teamwork, I love the head to heads with the celebrity chefs, but above all everyone in it is reasonable, nice and normal. They're really likeable.

Rather than bitching at each other and undermining their confidence, they really seem to have a good time.

Is it just me? Is this just the death rattle of nice television?

There can be only one.

The Japanese version of Iron Chef.

Worst shows?

Hell's Kitchen US?

There should really be some kind of pancake competition in ED today. I think its a bit crepe that I haven't seen anything advertised.

PS what about that cooking show where two chefs go head to head and have to cook a perfect omelette in under 30 seconds. Now that's competitive.

Iron Chef Japan is awesome. The US version was nowhere near as good.

[El Pibe]

Does he run the sushi place in London *Bob*?

You know the one, the one just behind thingy, around the corner from wotsit.

It's brilliant!!

[*Bob*]

That's the one!

Mind you - his waiting staff are a little odd.

Mind you, the US one did have that woman with the classic comment, "There's much pea-ness going on here. Which is nice".
