Baking Shows

Anyone else a sucker for these? I love Top Chef, but also sometimes watch Food Network Star, and the holiday ones. Just finished watching the Halloween one. And the Great British Baking Championship one is the best!

I watch Guy's Grocery Games, Hell's Kitchen (if Once isn't on), Cutthroat Kitchen, and some of the Top Chef seasons.  I'm watching Halloween Wars right now but think the judging is off this year.  Cute isn't creepy.

I did watch Hell's Kitchen once and enjoyed it, I'll have to give it another go!

I've usually watched Hell's Kitchen.... but, haven't yet this year. I have it dvr'd ....for when I have some time.

I watch most (possibly all?) of the baking shows regularly. I've seen almost all of the Top Chef seasons. I don't watch Grocery Games every week, but I've caught quite a few of them over the years.

I agree with LM that the judging seemed off on Halloween Wars this year.

Does anyone know if Top Chef is coming back? It seems like it's been quite a while since the last season aired.

Loving the Holiday Baking Championship and Christmas Cookie challenge this year! Ree Drummond is a judge on the cookie challenge, and I have always loved her and used many of her recipes in my own cooking.
Yummo! Anyone else watching?

Anybody watching Top Chef this season? I'm enjoying the season pretty well so far (just having finished Restaurant wars last night). The last two eliminations felt satisfying.

Chris for the win!

Yes, I am watching! The camping episode was a good one. I don't have a favorite quite yet. I see these cooks make all these fabulous foods with ingredients I have never heard of and I am amazed. I am a very basic cook myself. I guess that's why I like it so much!

I am obsessed with the Great British Baking show and Paul Hollywood. Love seeing him stare down the contestants!

Haven't caught that one yet Ponytail.

I'm getting a little disgusted with Halloween Wars.  It seems they are going for cute instead of good.  That one from Buttercream whatever with the Santa was terrible.  Yet, it won.  I'm not sure but one of the candy makers looked too smug for my tastes this year -- like she knew she had won.  I don't think her team did though.

Right now, I'm for another celebrity edition of Worst Cooks.  I think we need that right now to laugh at.

Yep, when the real world gets to be too much, there's nothing like a baking contest and a little buttercream to make it better!
