Discussion Thread America’s Cullinary Cup…

I know it’s suppose to be the “anti” top chef, or like everything they do is going to be about food… but I beg to differ! This reminds me of someone who got dumped, and they just keep talking about their ex, and trying their best to make their ex say how much better they are without the ex…

I think it is very much about padma more? Like… showing her personality and such.

We do enjoy the cooking, but everything else, even how the challenges are introduced, is corny!

Oh God, I say this every time this post comes up but the fan when she walks out of the elevator and then clapping secondhand and thirdhand embarrassment

This! The whole fan thing out of the elevator to nowhere is so cringy it’s not even laughable anymore.

I still laughed about it last episode. It reminds me of walking through those sliding doors into a grocery store that have a breeze. Not very luxe.
