I'm sure people will hate my take, but this show is obnoxious.
I love to cook, I've worked in restaurants for decades, and I do get emotional about food, but not like this. Every cooking show always has people talking about food like it's some woo spiritual experience, and they all take on the same sniff-your-own-farts kind of tone when talking about local produce. Like, yeah a farmer's market carrot is usually better than a grocery store one, but it's nothing to cry about. C'mon guys, the walk-in at the homeless kitchen I volunteer for has farm-fresh vegetables, it's not like the hand of god is reaching down to bless you with a turnip.
I know the production team probably dictates a lot of that, but I have a hard time connecting to a group of people who come off so inauthentically, and since the food actually doesn't feature all that much, that's a big nope for me.
