Amy H Apr 12 Absolutely addicted to this show — it’s culinary chaos at its most delicious! From the moment the timer starts ticking, you’re pulled into a whirlwind of high-stakes flavor battles, unexpected twists, and jaw-dropping creativity. The contestants are culinary wizards, whipping up gourmet-level dishes under pressure that would make Michelin-star chefs do a double take. But it’s not just about the food (though the food is mouthwatering); it’s the personalities, the comeback arcs, and those edge-of-your-seat eliminations that keep you binging episode after episode. The judges are sharp, witty, and never afraid to dish out tough love, but they also have genuine moments of admiration that give the show real heart. Every episode is a perfect blend of intensity and inspiration — you’ll laugh, you’ll cheer, and you will end up raiding your fridge by the end. If you’re even remotely into food or competition shows, this is your new obsession. Five stars. No crumbs left. See more max r Apr 9 I'm a big fan of the original America's Test Kitchen. I like all the regular Stars. But I don't know who conceived this competition. It feels unnecessarily rushed. Not enough time to understand what the individual participants are doing and it seems pretty unfair because the contestants are often not competing on an even playing field. Some of them have challenges that are far more difficult than others.. I also find the host Jeannie Mai to be extremely annoying-- loud, intrusive, ridiculously giddy, and obviously unqualified to host a cooking show. I'm watching it in spite of her hoping it will get better. Dan Souza is a true star. So good, steady and expert as the head judge. See more Read all reviews
