The Best TV Cooking Games


There are some great television cooking shows out there, but as you know some are much better than others. I don’t have tons of time to watch online cooking games, but among my favorites:

Iron Chef
A totally random approach to a cooking show, Iron Chef America takes the original Japanese format and pits too chefs against one another to make a creation using a particular kind of food. The set up is cheesy and totally fictional. There is endless drama that isn’t really necessary, but something about the set up just keeps bringing me back. There are regular chefs on the show who are picked to go head to head making something delicious out of…PEANUT BUTTER or SPAM or CUCUMBERS. It makes for an interesting hour or so of your week.

Take Home Chef
Dress nicely at the grocery store, because you might run into a totally hot Australian chef. He buys your groceries, plans a yummy meal, comes home with you and actually cooks it with you in your own kitchen to show you how to prepare food at home. He then serves your gourmet meal to you and a special someone making a very yummy waiter and meal.
