Judging Food Is Fun ft. the Judges of MasterChef Canada
Judging food is fun. Whether you’re ranking the best chefs on TV, challenging your friends to a ridiculous eating competition, or silently keeping score of everything a restaurant gets wrong, we all do it. This week, Tanner and Jerry are putting everything on the judging table.
First, we look at food competitions you can actually do with your friends, from blind butter tastings to the kind of steak challenge that involves 72 ounces of beef and some questionable life choices.
Then we rank the best food competition chefs on television. Who makes a great judge? Who makes a great host? And who would we actually want standing over us while we tried to cook under pressure.
Next, MasterChef Canada judges Craig Wong and Hugh Acheson join us to talk about the new season, what they’re looking for from the competitors, and a major guest star making an appearance.
Finally, Jerry unloads his biggest restaurant pet peeves, and Tanner has to decide which ones deserve defending and which ones are completely unforgivable.
Food competitions, celebrity chefs, MasterChef Canada, restaurant complaints, and a lot of judging. Turns out, judging food really is fun.
