    Obnoxious chauvinistic presenter

    Amazon video recommend this title and oh my! What an obnoxious, chauvinistic and ignorant presenter.

    Reading the description that 3 home cooks cook against 2 award winning chefs did spike my interest but Anton du Beke makes the whole show unbearable. He talks over the contestants constantly and has less knowledge of food then my 6 year old niece.

    Terrible presenter casting.

    While writing this he said to this three Greek home cooks "so if you lose your daughters won't be able to be married off" "Oooh like a woman with strong hands" Many other super awkward chauvinistic comments have left his mouth which has made my skin crawl.

    The scripted times he isn't vile he clearly is reading it from the monitor.

    Just avoid unless you want to be reminded how not to behave as a human being.
