I just recently started watching The Taste on ABC and actually enjoy it! Since the 1st episode, Audition 1, was almost an hour and a half, I only watched that so far but plan to watch the other episodes of The Taste (going to catch up right after this post ;). I use to watch a number of cooking shows, even though I don't like to cook (I would much rather eat than cook :P), but it doesn't hurt to learn!
"Starring top chefs Anthony Bourdain, Nigella Lawson, Ludo Lefebvre, and Brian Malarky, The Taste has all the flavor of your favorite cooking shows paired with the fire of competition. Each Chef has chosen a team of four contestants to mentor through the competition, but when the time comes for tasting, they do it blindly."
From the first episode, I liked the fact that at least two home cooks were chosen to continue on the show, which goes to show that home cooks are just as good as professionals and you don't have to be a pro. to know your food. It's crazy how some of the contestants quit their job to participate in The Taste. Also, like some contestants from Audition 1 mentioned, the blind taste test gives everyone an equal chance to continue on the show. The only thing I didn't like was that some judges cursed. Just a little word of advice to the judges (and to everyone really), please don't curse to express yourself, especially since young kids might hear and will learn! If you could get past the cursing, I would recommend The Taste to anyone who likes cooking or food in general mixed with competition.
So that's my two-cents on the show so far. I may continue doing posts on my thoughts for each episode, if anyone wants! I might also eventually post on some of my other favorite TV shows ;)
