They give chefs a few ingredients they must use in a dish/part of 3 courses. It's usually something like kale, dried shrimp,black garlic, fruit cocktail and snapper...

I agree. I was really pulling for a girl who was a personal chef and looked like any mom you'd see everyday. She was up against an especially cocky and seemingly unfriendly Asian chef who was VERRRRRY proud of "his" style of cooking. He kept mentioning the fact that she deep fried two things like it was total garbage. She ended up winning the whole thing and I was cheering for her.I watch this show all the time and I must say that I doubt I will ever find a lot of the things that they have to use, in my kitchen. lol. It is very entertaining at times, especially when a very confident (cocky) chef gets eliminated. Don't like to see the ones that cut themselves and are bleeding while they're preparing the food.

No joke! I love the show, watch it all the time. Too many reruns IMO, and the ingredients...well, not too long ago they had bull testicles. Really? I think I could easily go through life with out eating that. That is not a teaching thing, that is a "reality show" thing. I can see it now:I agree.

I'll never use a lot of their ingredients but it has opened up my thinking to use some ingredients I wouldnt have initially thought to use and in different ways.

thats great. I really wanted her to win especially after he was sooooo "we not do that in my country...she fry every-Ting"...lol. Politically incorrect, I know but I wanted to poke him in the eye with a chopstick.I watched this episode as well, and I was pulling for the same girl!
I have started watching this show when I can get the controller away from my husband!
HAHA! i have picked up some things from it but I know what youre saying. Some of the ingredients are crazy and then some are soooo common but to a real chef, the ingredient is so "below" them...like french dressing and fruit cocktail. I love seeing them scurry around trying to hide them.No joke! I love the show, watch it all the time. Too many reruns IMO, and the ingredients...well, not too long ago they had bull testicles.

I love this show. I've watched is so much that now when they get those off the wall ingredients, I am thinking to myself how I would make them work. I do hate the way the judges act sometimes though.......'Well, the marshmallow cream is way too sweet with the tripe and tortilla chip salsa'. REALLY?!?! WHO KNEW!?!I know there are so many cooking shows but I love this one. It's great to show you how to use just about anything you have in your kitchen to make a great dish. Since I've been watching it, I've challenged myself to use what I have when I would've made a Publix run. I've managed to make some really good stuff that way.
They give chefs a few ingredients they must use in a dish/part of 3 courses. It's usually something like kale, dried shrimp,black garlic, fruit cocktail and snapper.... You can learn so much from watching and listening to their methods even if you wont ever use the same ingredients. Fast moving and lots of fun to watch.

I think you're talking about the young lady from Stamping Ground, KY. I was pulling for her too. My grandmother used to live in Stamping Ground.I agree.
