Snack Vs Chef is one of my new favorite food competition shows. Go to Full Review

3/5
The focus on using only common kitchen ingredients to create imitations of popular shelf snacks gives a deceptively wholesome impression of overly processed foods, without addressing the use of chemicals in most packaged snacks. Go to Full Review

Snack Vs. Chef is awkwardly formatted, and it doesn’t seem to utilize its very funny hosts very well. But the recreation round is a hoot to watch... Go to Full Review

C-
A cooking competition that’s like a generic version of a brand-name snack food: painfully different than the real thing, but with enough of the basics to provide some empty calories. Go to Full Review

Sebastian M Oct 26 I thought the concept was great, but the execution was terrible. Every single one of the chefs seemed like an amateur, or more like a hobby cook rather than an actual chef. Their creations are not only painfully different from the snacks they are supposed to replicate, but they are also messy and look like C- high school projects. Still, that's not the worst part; it makes sense that the snack challenge is difficult, the worst is when they get the opportunity to create their own snacks, those creations somehow look even worse. You can even see the judges' faces, how unimpressed they are, and how bad it tastes. See more Jorge G Mar 18 "The show is grotesque and unpleasant to watch. They completely lose focus just to grab attention, making it unbearable. A disappointing experience." See more Matt C 10/11/2023 The cooking competition part is decently executed and a pretty cool concept. It turns out that recreating classic snacks is really difficult because the contestants barely even get close to the originals. I didn't really understand how the eliminations worked in the early rounds and it didn't make sense how winners were chosen. The "hosts" are terrible and bring nothing to the table. Painfully unfunny and cringe-inducing. The expert judges offer way more by way of commentary and are actually pretty interesting people. They actually try to shoehorn a joke in a later episode that the hosts are funny and the judges are boring. Overall, I was invested in the show despite the hosts and the somewhat shaky camera work and editing. I look forward to another season with less dead weight.

See more kirathramasary1 12/01/2022 This wasn't a cooking or baking show, this was about mentally deranged people who are confused about their gender, being put on a pedestal. They claim to be food science orientated but there isn't much talk about that. The contestants have no skill and are only on the show for their mental health issues, to be paraded like animals in a zoo. See more Read all reviews
