No Kitchen Required is crazy and New York "cuisine" is gross
Fox News - There’s a new competition cooking show hitting the airwaves, but the food these chefs are whipping up is not for the faint of heart.“No Kitchen Required” follows three chefs as they’re dropped into exotic, remote locations and tasked with cooking locally-inspired dishes. This means finding and hunting their own food, cooking with little or no electricity and impressing a panel of local judges with their take on the community’s cuisine.England is straight-up crazy. Never mind that they say things like "Cheerio" and "plaster" for band-aid and "rubbish - now they're getting into American territory by launching a no-holds-barred, disgusting, guilty-pleasure cooking reality show. Straight-up crazy.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NctuoWyFz4ANo Kitchen Required is the newest show on BBC, a Top Chef-meets-Iron Chef-meets-Survivor cooking competition where three chefs travel to exotic (and not so exotic) locales to cook up local dishes, get judged by local authorities on said dishes, and do it all without a freaking kitchen. I ask myself every day how I survive without a dishwasher, so I don't even know how this is possible.But by far my favorite part of this is the Fox News article promoting the show, which showcases the New York City Episode. First, am I the only one who finds it hilarious that the "local cuisine" of New York City is squirrel, hare, pigeon, and crow? I also find it disgusting, though not even 1/8 as disgusting as the squirrel meatballs made by one chef, or the "exotic twist" on chicken and waffles wherein another chef replaced chicken with crow. Crow?! Again, Brits are straight-up crazy.All that being said, the best part about this New York City episode is that one of the guest judges (who change by location and are chosen based on their knowledge of that location's cuisine) was "New York Giants Defensive Lineman David Diehl." I'm sorry...a Croatian NFL lineman is your gastronomical expert? Oh, New York. Almost as straight-up crazy as England.PS: Can anyone tell the difference between an Australian and an English accent? Because I would have bet a winning Mega Millions ticket that the narrator of that preview was British if I didn't know the damn show was on BBC.
