Same but different is myself trying to find a decent home and garden show on HGTV. I mean this guy: http://www.gardenerguy.com/FAQ.html was the Alton Brown of gardening and he's pretty much stopped completely. Cooking channel looked to be a return to showing people how to cook, but even they have gone the asinine reality TV route. gently caress TV.

If you're on a Food Network show and not loaded up on wellbutrin and/or wanting to kill yourself then you're probably part of the problem.

Cutthroat Kitchen just feels too mean-spirited for my tastes, though.

I sort of wondered if they've ever done a show like the following: Teams consisting of a professional chef partnered with a non-cook and given a similar 'make specific dish' contest. The twist is that the pro-chef is only allowed to give orders and instructions to the non-cook and can't actually do anything themselves. The non-cook has to cook everything based on the orders they're being given to the best of their ability.

It seems like it could be a mix of the 'teach people at home how to cook' meets competition stuff.

Of course, THAT could turn out to be more mean spirited as some emotionally vulnerable middle-aged person from the midwest breaks down into tears because the guy from Restaurant Impossible won't stop yelling at them for overcooking the eggs and screaming at them how they can't help them. Or they get saddled with a former Chopped contestant who just non-stop starts rattling off ingredients and the non-cook doesn't know what the hell Arugula or chickpeas are because they eat everything either fast food or frozen.

If I were human, I believe my response would be: 'go to hell'.
Cutthroat Kitchen is not about the cooking. It's about trying to gently caress with each other.

My favorite episode of it was a celebrity chef episode where they played for charity and that real big guy that pretty much exclusively makes sandwiches and grilled cheese refused to spend any of his money until the last round where he bought out all the auctions for like $100 a piece and ended up winning with almost his entire money stack going to charity. That was great.

Alton has never been alive. He taught himself to cook after a long and mediocre career making music videos. Not for any love of food but because he recognized that most cooking shows were worthless for the average guy. So he went to cooking school and used his prior film experience to put together a good TV show. Good Eats is a great show but Alton's personality has been fake from day one.

enjoying having creative control over your own popular tv show about a hobby you like is probably real

see also: his vanity projects where he gets to ride motorcycles / sail boats and eat a lot. i dont think you have to actually fake anythign if you like riding motorcycles and eating.

err pretty sure he went to cookign school because he liked cookign but knew he couldnt star on a cooking show without some formal training. it's pretty well known brown didn't even draw a salary from production funds and only made money from sellign companion books and dvds, in order to have more money to make the show.

also for most people in hollywood, being the boss and having creative control is a lot bigger deal than just money
