Reviews

hyek556 The idea of the show is great, but terribly executed. The two main characters may know food as well as they know how to make viewers change the channel. Joe's arrogance and snideness ruins the show instead of adding to it like Simon did on AI. I mean he actually makes me feel awkward, and that's not entertaining. I've never written a review before but had to for this because I was so epically disappointed in the two main hosts which ruin a show I was very excited about. I sincerely hope they'll replace them if the show survives for a follow on season...In order for the show to be entertaining, I believe they need to bring in new hosts who actually want to help the "foodies" like on Shark tank. They advertise as if it's similar but the hosts just bring nothing to the table...including entertainment. Get back in the Kitchen and get off TV!
reddickfan217 Pretty obvious this is a spin-off of Shark Tank. Love the concept of the show, period. However, I don't start to enjoy until after they have made their choice. Joe is a bit too pretentious for my liking during the face- off. Sure he's up front and honest (similar to Kevin in the shark tank), but seems to try to hard to be...well an ass-hole. There really is no reason for it. These individuals are obviously credible and hard working since they are standing there in the first place. Unacceptable to bash these individuals when they try to "sell their work." "Well lets get to the food." Meanwhile, they are still giving their pitch. Rude much? The sharks are rude too at points, but their entire attitude and timing behind it works. Joe just makes it plain awkward.
