What do you think about "The Kitchen"?

I'm watching it for the first time. I think it can be a winner.

(I won't mention all the long hair hanging on the chefs. That opinion got me in trouble in an earlier thread.)

The show is nice, though.

Have you seen it? What do you think?

I didn't like it. I don't like The Chew either, though.

Either demonstrate a recipe or talk. This whole "instagram" conversation while he was making a recipe was annoying. Iwanted to hear about the recipe, not instragram.

If every recipe is going to be about grocery store rotisserie chicken and left over rice, I won't be watching.

It doesn't appeal to me.

It's a copycat show of The Chew. Too much fooling around and not enough about the food. Didn't like it.

I was not impressed either. And I'm a big fan of Sunny Anderson! Just too much chatter. Not really recipe oriented. Not sure what they are trying to be, a talk show, a cooking show, a social media show. I'll probably give it one more try though.

I will give it another chance - but my first impression is it's annoying. They are all talking at once and trying to outdo one another. Maybe 5 people is just too many...

I agree.

I just can't work up any enthusiasm for shows like that. Too many people talking at once and they usually are very rushed or run out of time when actually DOING anything. I quit watching the Today show because of that.

Well it was on again today and I was able to watch it, being snowed in. I want to like it and I hope it works out. It would be nice to have some fresh new programs on Food. It seemed to be too unscripted (which can be good at times) that it needed a leader to wrangle things in. Like someone else said, 5 might be too many?? I try to be positive...I will watch more and to see how it goes!Smile

One good thing being snowed in and doing some baking with FoodTV on, I saw at 3pm there was a new show Kelsey's Essentials. I know she has been on the Cooking Channel (which I don't get), but it shows new programs for her on Food. I'm usually picking the kids up from school at that time, so maybe she has been on and I didn't know. I found her show enjoyable, cooking and learning about the product.

The only thing I noticed was that it took the place of Ina's and Giada's shows on Saturday.

Giada I didn't miss but Ina I did.

Boring!!! Talked over one another (sounded like some hosts and vendors from Q) I enjoy the chew and will not watch the kitchen not for me!
