I haven't watched FoodTV for ages since they dropped quality chefs and programs and focused so much on all that [censored] they've become known for. After hearing about "The Next Iron Chef" competition on Michael Ruhlman's blog, I checked out the show on FoodTV. I'm hooked on "The Next Iron Chef" (I'm rooting for Besh, but really like Symon too!) but with the channel tuned in I've been introduced to this show called "Dinner Impossible" and the hunky chef Robert <something>.
The premise is that he's challenged to cook for particularly unusual groups of diners with little planning time or help. He has to overcome odd challenges. Last week he had to cook a multicourse meal in historic Williamsburg using nothing fancier than what the Colonials had themselves. And all on short notice.
Does anyone else watch this guy? Damn he's got some fineeeeee arms <swoon> His meals aren't too shabby either 🙂
I really like him - the Williamsburg meal was a rerun from Season 1; now we're in Season 2. Last night he made lunch for Pixar Studio folk - based on 3 cuisines representative of Finding Nemo, Cars, and Ratatouille.
He gets loud and bossy, but he's only 'failed' once that I can remember. (That is, not being done in time.) The best thing is the show is only a half hour, so you don't feel like it's dragged out.

I'm still waiting for Kitchen Smackdown, Survivor Chef or Feuding Chefs, anything with a little more dramatic action than waiting for a roux to brown. I think NASCAR is developing a cooking concept using mid sizes RVs with propane kitchens. They're pairing drivers with popular chefs but having problems with cookware on the curves.- Hide quoted text -

Mario Batali already has Nascar cooking all wrapped up. He loves Nascar; he's often at the tracks, cooking for the drivers/crews/ owners.

I cancelled the FoodTV months ago because they just didn't have anything good on any more. The shows that were good were aired over and over and over. Even worse, it was the best network in a bundle obviously aimed at women. I still see the program listings on the satellite guide and I have yet to see anything on there that would made it worth switching back to.

Ah, no. Kitchen Nightmares is great. I do prefer the British version a bit, because they do the turnaround without the network pumping in money for redecorating and supplies. Also, better follow-up with Ramsay returing in a month (or longer in the "revisited" shows).

The Ramsay show would be better if he didn't have to say "[censored]" every 30 seconds. I was in the service and I've heard more creative uses of obscenities than you can imagine. With Ramsay it seems forced and phony, as if the producers told him to keep pouring it on.
He's a f*ucking cook, he should give up the tough guy act.
