Seriously - coddled children.

What the heck do you expect after working for a couple of months? Unless you have a VP title, you ain't negotiating a parachute in your contract, so you go in with open eyes. But, sure, expect a 6 month severance for 2 months of work, sure.

Buyer beware, bitches.

That she got any severance is pretty remarkable.

They can't afford Steve Carell. Doubt they can afford scuba steve.

Does anyone care about cooking shows anymore? I haven't watched TV in years, but I was a watcher of the original home renovation shows and the emergence of the cooking shows (the OG Iron Chef was super cool) when new channels started.

Is this shit still popular? In a time of inflation and potential food shortages does a cooking show really hold water?????

This dropped today on Netflix. Its only 6 30 min episodes. Pretty classic Mike Myers where he plays all the characters. Dated humor but decent enough for background noise.

all the cake shows are pretty crap as are any team base cooking challenge shows. i still like to watch chopped, bobby flay and some of guy's shows from time to time. chopped contestants are bad about injection lgbt whenever they can, but other wise think it is fun to watch. used to watch america's test kitchen all the time, but they had some sort of coup few years back. there are still a couple of ok, learn to cook ____, shows on, but quicker to just youtube it.

I will watch this.

If only because not a single character in that preview has a Scottish accent and I am amazed. Also, I have always liked his style of humor.

I watch Sam the Cooking Guy, Ramsey and Tasting History with Max occasionally on Youtube. Better than the cooking shows and quicker. Max is a flaming homo but he's still better than anything on TV and doesn't force it on his weekly video. That's all they have to do. Provide value and limit the overbearing messaging and I don't care whose dick you slam in your mouth, Netflix. Even Foler's.

Yep. Tasting History is pretty awesome, Miller keeps his personal life/political views out of the main channel videos. Apparently he has a blog channel, but I have no interest in something I enjoy being ruined.

tweet is probably true, if they hired a bunch of black women to write usual bullshit and then fired them all when they realized no one gives a shit about anything they wrote, they will probably sue netflix lol

for a time i was into some of those reality cooking shows, they ended up all being cut from the same cloth. i watched chef ramsey because i liked his no nonsense approach and he insulted the fuck out of his crappy contestants. the staged drama was just eye gougingly bad, i think i noped out of Hell's Kitchen by season 3 and Kitchen Nightmares was not done very well in the US, in the UK version he works with the owners to be better business people and helped refresh their eateries to be more modern and accomodating. in the US he just came in shit on everything and yelled at them to stop being shitheads with a lot of staged bullshit in between. some owners got pissed off and sued him/Fox. almost all the US places he visited were out of business by the time their episodes aired. the worst part was he didnt help them refresh their business, he just had the network revamp the restaurant for them with out any input or interaction from the owners. it was just, "we renovated your business, gave it a new name and now you will be a success." meanwhile these idiots will still make the same mistakes. the UK places just needed a few tweaks and some harsh reality advice.

i dunno who would watch cooking reality shows anymore. Cake Boss was overrated, my local bakeries were making cakes that looked about as good. i mean you're supposed to eat the fucking thing, not stare at it. who cares if it has crazy details. eh as long as it says happy whatevr and they spell the names right, shut the fuck up and eat your cake. Youtube has better cooking videos with more niche subjects you would enjoy. if i want to make something new on the grill i dont need to wait a week for something on TV to come on. i'll just slap on a BBQ Pit Boys video and see what they made right now

UK KN was vastly better than US version.

As for the restaurants closing, all of them were on their last legs anyway. Hard business even for people who know what they are doing. GN had a few go under...and he knows what he is doing.

It's almost like shit has to be dumbed down for US audiences, why do you think that is?
