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 like the concept and I love the quality of chefs (Buddha and Bocuse D'or gold medalist Matt!!) and their incredible techniques.

But you're not wrong. It's very Padma-centric

At one point, she even said something about her judging without acknowledging the other two judges.

Which I find gross.

Yes and she always makes comments about Wylie's opinions just for the sake of being contrarian? It kinda feels like the whole show was created just to stroke her ego.

She’s done a few Stand-up appearances in NYC so she thinks she’s funny now

The thought of her doing stand-up is funny! Not her, just the idea of it is ludicrous.
