My Newest Guilty Pleasure
I have fallen in love with watching ABC's "The Taste"!! This is a show completely dedicated to the blind tasting of a dish served on a spoon! The contestants only have one chance to catch the attention of the judges and secure immunity. As with any show featuring a host of personalities there is a fair share of smack talk and drama; however, the food shines through every time!! I'm just waiting on 2013 to prove that we have truly been innovative and release smell-o-vision!! On the scale of 5, I give The Taste a 4! Read a bit more about the program below and consider giving it a try! If anything you will walk away with amazing inspiration for new dishes of your own! ~ Destanee
About the Show
One blind spoonful could change everything on ABC’s “The Taste.” This new cooking competition show is literally all about taste.
Sixteen competitors, from pro chefs to home cooks, whip up dishes attempting to impress four of the world’s most notable chefs. The catch is all the dishes will be judged in a blind taste test. In this pressure-packed contest, the taste of a single spoonful can catapult a contender to the top or send him packing.
“The Taste” features no-holds barred chef Anthony Bourdain, British food star Nigella Lawson, expert chef and author Ludo Lefebvre and restaurateur Brian Malarkey. Each of the four culinary superstars and “Taste” mentors – Bourdain, Lawson, Lefebvre and Malarkey – will coach a team of four competing pro and amateur cooks chosen from a nationwide casting call as they vie to create the best tasting dish.
In each episode, the groups will face team and individual challenges with a variety of culinary themes through several elimination rounds. At the end of each episode, the mentors will have to judge the competitors’ dishes blind, with no knowledge of whose creation they’re sampling, what they’re eating, how it was prepared or whom they could be eliminating.
