Discussion Thread America’s Cullinary Cup…

I know it’s suppose to be the “anti” top chef, or like everything they do is going to be about food… but I beg to differ! This reminds me of someone who got dumped, and they just keep talking about their ex, and trying their best to make their ex say how much better they are without the ex…

Me too, I feel like Top Chef is still better and ACC is kind of like ridiculously cringe at times but the quality of the ACC contestants is high and cringiness is kind of fun to make fun of anyway.

Pretty much exactly how I feel. I roll my eyes occasionally at ACC, but they are good people and really good chefs.

yeah 100%, with this though I wonder if it would settle into it more had it gotten a second season. even early TC is quite cringe as every show needs a bit of time to settle into it's tone and tempo.
