I saw the show. It was a lot like Top Chef - in fact, it seemed identical in format and setup. Who is your friend?

Too early to guess who may win - none seem to have "star quality," but the environment in which they're working is so contrived and arificial.

I saw it last night, and was appaled at how they spent---or, rather, didn't spend---their food budgets.

Orange team had $2,300 and spent less than 800 to cater a wedding. Do these people know anything about food service?

I wouldn't presume to guess who'll make the final cut. The criteria used by the judges are often 180 degress from what they say they are.

I think Nikki has a good shot. She has a good theme and there are no "soul food" chefs on foodnetwork. I think she might appeal to a decent-sized audience.

I like the big Italian guy's personality, but we already have Emeril (and Mario) and that guy is self-taught.

I hope Columbe wins because I want to learn and incorperate her style into my own cooking.

I saw part of it, so the "firing" didn't really fit together for me. But I'll want to watch the rest of it. I wasn't impressed by Colombe's "leadership" style, but it may be because she's so YOUNG. :lol:

Come on, MBrown, who's your friend?
