Anyone else watching Sweet Genius on Food Network? it's kind of like "Chopped" but with desserts and only one judge - who reminds me of Dr. Evil

apparently he's a Pastry God in the culinary world

he's very dramatic and odd - I have never heard of him before (www.foodnetwork.com)

Responses:

I love Chopped, but for some reason I do not like cooking shows that are just deserts - amoxy Sep 26, 12:28
I watched an ep. yesterday - it was interesting how they came up with a hybrid of other shows, and he's amusing. -- nm - b. Sep 26, 12:13 2
- hey, you (nmb) - amanda jones Sep 26, 12:14 1
  - yah, you. - b. Sep 26, 12:20
no but I am watching Top Chefs Just Desserts and I love it - I had a " chopped" marathon this weekend - Love that show - Epiphany Sep 26, 12:10 13
- I'm torn about "chopped" -- I like the idea of it, but the oh-so-dramatic-and-over-seriousness gets to me. -- nm - b. Sep 26, 12:15 12
  - the " before/after" aspect of it, sucks me in every time - I look at the ingredients and I go - " no way, they can't do it" and they do. In beautiful - Epiphany Sep 26, 12:25 4
    - I like that part - the quick-thinking and creativity can be terrific. it's just the overall tone that doesn't sit well with me. - b. Sep 26, 12:30 3
      - Yeah, the mystery basket theme is a long-standing challenge among chefs. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 26, 12:35 2
        
        really? I had no idea - I feel like I am behind the curve on the cooking shows -- nm - Epiphany Sep 26, 12:40 1
        
        They have one at Napa Food & Wine every year, I think? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 26, 12:43
  - i *should* like chopped, but i don't....nm - x Sep 26, 12:18 6
    - is it cause you can't get attached to people - the chefs *and* judges constantly change - Epiphany Sep 26, 12:26 5
      - I am always attracted to the basket and how they use it -- nm - amoxy Sep 26, 12:34
      - there's just something about the format i don't like. i find it sort of lifeless.... - x Sep 26, 12:31
      - Our favorites are Alex G, Amanda Freitag and Scott Conant. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 26, 12:30 2
        
        and Aaron, of course. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 26, 12:35 1
        
        I like Mark Murphy and Amanda, but Alex takes herself so seriously sometimes -- nm - amoxy Sep 26, 12:40
he is sooooooo freaky looking. i got scared off by the ads before the premiere -- nm - prayformojo Sep 26, 12:06
