"Mario's Restaurant Rookies"

[SiseFromm]

I really enjoyed the short-lived and wildly funny "Restaurant Rookies" concept. I thought the two characters were quite funny, particularly the guy that challenged you to a pizza contest and wanted to make something with a fruit juice reduction. In all, Restaurant Rookies was quite different from the typical "Food Finds" and "Best Of" programming that bores me to tears.

Is there any chance you would give it another go-around, or was the experience more aggravating than satisfying?
