Whats your favorite "Reality" Food Show and why?

[chris2269]

Just curious and maybe I'll get turned on to a show I have not seen yet.

1) My restaurant Rules - Australia. 2005 so it is old but I'm currently watching the second season and loving it.

2) Michel Roux's Service -UK. love Michel Roux great to see a service related show.

3) Master Chef AU - Australia. Still the best version of MC in my opinion. Always pull great guest judges and I like the tone.

I like both Top Chef and Top Chef Masters, and Chopped -- sometimes.

Reality food show... kind of an oxymoron, eh? I doubt there is much reality in any of the shows.

That's why I put Reality in "" yet I am hooked yeah 3/4 of the winners promised a restaurant as a prize close down but there are success stories.

and others
Thinking of it.... the success rate probably is close to the real world.

Chopped......I've learned more from that show than any other and find it very entertaining (sometimes not in the way they intend).

I like Next Food Network Star in a train-wrecky way.

The past two seasons of Top Chef, I have had to bail out after a few episodes.

I like Top Chef Masters.

Chopped for me depends on the episode but agree. Just think the judges are too coached.
Next Food Network Star has a SD contestant this upcoming season so will watch for the home team. :)
