Show Notes

Cooking competition shows are heating up this week as Padma Lakshmi’s new show (America’s Culinary Cup) takes on Top Chef. Adrienne and Joe debate which format will win out, and whether or not the Culinary Cup will capture our attention. In this episode, we discuss:

  • The new ACC format and fine dining focus

  • Judging vs competing: Which is more fun?

  • The secrets of judging on food tv

  • Would you rather: 30-minute quick fires vs doing a dish demo

  • How cooking shows used to be (teach us something!) vs today’s style of TV

  • Walk In Confession: Joe’s memories of competing on Iron Chef
