Cooking Competition Rankings: Part 1

Guys, I have been working on a few new lists lol. I love cooking competitions so much, like it's a genuine problem. I had to narrow the list down to just cooking shows. You will not be seeing shows like Halloween wars or shows that are technically cooking shows, but it's more about the works of art they do instead of the actual taste of the food. The Great British Bake Off also won't be on here because it will be on another list. I also am not a huge fan of baking shows, so please don't harm me for when they are ranked lower haha. 25. Masterchef Junior: I just don't care for having actual children on these shows. I don't take pleasure in seeing an 8 year old girl bawling her eyes out when her souffle doesn't rise. They are very talented and some have gone on to be some powerhouses. It just isn't for me unfortunately. 24. The Ultimate Baking Championship: I'll be honest, I have only watched a couple seasons. This show just wasn't made for me. Like I said before, I'm not a fan of baking shows. It's just way too much formulas and scientific things for my liking. I will always be impressed by what they do though. 23. Halloween Baking Championship: This lands a bit higher because I love Halloween. Everything I said previously can just be copy and pasted here. 22. Next Level Chef: Unfortunately I just didn't get into this show as much as I wanted to. I understand that the concept was unique, but the execution just was boring to me. I watched the first 2 seasons and then just dropped the show because I was bored of it. 21. BBQ Brawl: I actually liked the first season a lot. It's been the seasons after that which has made me stop watching. The concept and the pit masters were very fun. The unfortunate thing is the show never evolved and grew stale after awhile. 20. Top Chef Masters: This is probably low for people, but the show never captured my interest. I do love they brought some of the best in the industry to see who is better. I do find it hilarious that the judges were chefs who were not on the same level as the contestants. Top Chef has this weird thing where they eliminate not the worst chef every time. This happens so much on Masters too. 19. Bobby's Triple Threat: This is another fun show, but also it's another similar show that Food Network likes to do. They wanted another Bobby Flay show, but couldn't just do a copy and paste of Beat Bobby Flay. Instead they bring in 3 very talented chefs that you have to beat on your way to challenge Bobby. Fun concept, just want a new and fresh concept for Bobby to do. 18. The Next Iron Chef: Very fun show, but the best season was the All-Stars. The drama was so much fun and like most shows he is on, Marcel steals the show. He is a reality tv villain born in a chef's body. The other seasons just don't measure up and that's why it ranks here. 17. Supermarket Stakeout: This is an incredible concept that I wish was better at the execution. I love Alex, but she is not the right host for this type of show. Alton would be the best host actually. I still enjoy the show, just wish it would tighten up the production. 16. Alex vs. America: I feel bad about doing this to both of her shows. I just don't find Alex as a captivating protagonist in these shows. She is a great chef, but just not as entertaining as her fellow hosts. This is also just another rip-off of Beat Bobby Flay which is another issue.
