https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/bbq-brawl-flay-v-symon
its an outdoor show , less studio histrionics
and then this one :
https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/alex-vs-america
Im not current w all the ' personalities ' of this style
this is a studio show , and the competitors are very very good
and you get to see ' kitchen stuff '
in an Italian episode , I saw made the
finest looking real deal Ragu Bolognese , on broad noodles .
Ive seen in a while . got ***** from the judges
who are quite good. the required ingredient
for this dish was ' italian caned meat '
there is a theme for these show ie " Italian " . " Brunch "
then an item is picked out of a set of pre-determeined 3
for that dish .
by the contestant Chefs
so that Alex might've difficulty w it .
