Now that I live away from home, I have been forced to learn how to cook on my own. In the past year and a half I've managed to improve my cooking skills drastically. Now I find myself glued to the Food Network whenever I get a chance.
One show that has grabbed me is Take Home Chef. The premise is simple. A good-looking Australian chef named Curtis shows up at the supermarket and finds an unassuming and lone shopper, offers to cook a gourmet dinner for them and their partner and foot the bill for the groceries. Pretty sweet eh? Only problem is, the unassuming shopper is always a young, attractive woman. Sure it looks good on TV, but it means that he'll never randomly show up at my Price Chopper and fix me and my roomate (maybe even some lucky lady) some delicious meal. Maybe one day...
Another show is Iron Chef: America. I used to watch the Japanese version all the time, which offered great looking dishes, but its main catching point was the ridiculous dubbing and translation offered for us ol' English-speaking folk reminiscent of 1970s Kung-Fu movies and the classic Godzilla series. The epic battles that occured in Kitchen Stadium were overseen by the Chairman, giving out amazing 'secret ingredients'. But the American version is nothing like the original. Sure, the food looks good, but it's not the same. Although the episode where the secret ingredient was Breakfast was pretty sweet.
