To the reviewers complaining about the host, Guy Fieri, don't watch it if you don't like the host. And to those complaining about the prize money, they have aired almost 500 episodes within the past decade, giving out hundreds of thousands of dollars, there's almost 20 episodes a season, and two seasons a year basically. It adds up. Their resources are not infinite. They have to pay a cast, and production crew of over 50 people, and fully stock a set that is basically a miniature grocery store. Stop whining about the prize money. This isn't primetime 'Who wants to be a millionaire', get a grip, and to compete and get the exposure and 20k, could help any chef in the industry. In addition, during the pandemic, Guy helped start a fund to provide food industry workers with payments if they lost work due to the pandemic. There's alot of good that comes from Guy and his show, the complaints aren't truly warranted.
Either way, the show itself is light hearted and fun. The competitions are filled with enjoyable challenges and games that keeps it interesting. A great show to put on, kick back, and relax to. Additionally, it's always fun to see the judges compete, the show is like a small family. Definitely a favourite, well recommended.
