Fox Broadcasting to Ruin Yet Another Gordon Ramsey Food Show

Home to such brilliant television programming as “So You Think You Can Dance”, and “Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader”, Fox is slated to air a third food show which is co-produced and features the culinary world’s sweetheart, Gordon Ramsey.  “Master Chef” showcases amateur, wanna-be cooks, competiting to become the next big chef.  The show’s been a major hits in both Australia and UK, and Fox producers hope to replicate the success in the US market.  This, of course, will be Ramsey’s third project on Fox, acting as the proverbial meat to the “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Kitchen Nightmares” poop sandwich.

Sure, it may sound a bit pessimistic to assume that Fox will ruin “Master Chef”, with their choppy edits, awful music clips, and excessive cuts of any decent footage from the show.  But the shows speak for themselves.  Compare this first clip of Kitchen Nightmares USA:




Against Kitchen Nightmares UK:




Simple, not over the top, and highlights the actual act of cooking. The proof is in the pudding (pun intended .. this is a food blog afterall).
