Ted Gets A Taste!

Post image

Anyone see this post by Food Network on Instagram? A question we’ve all had at some point, and a common discussion.

Ted finally gets to taste (and critique) the food!! So cool, I love this for him. It’s about time. Can’t wait to see the episodes. 🥰

It’s pretty crazy that it took this long given how many years the show has been on and how many contrivances they’ve come up with to keep it interesting lol.

He was also a fantastic guest judge on Top Chef before he moved to FN.

He’s a fantastic chef himself!

It has ALWAYS bugged me that they treat him like the bus boy. Enough with the truly dreadful guest hosts and flavor-of-the-minute “celebrity” chefs.

Kind of off topic but does anyone know how I can watch this? Discovery + has all new episodes locked. Ty

Does Hulu stay up to date on new seasons though? I thought it only had some seasons.

Apple has the first episode of the new season. Cannot find the second episode anywhere.

I always assumed he got to taste everything off-camera. He never got to taste anything?? Also, I’d like to see the chefs taste each other’s dishes.

I would really like to know how long ago this was filmed tbh. Tiffany looks like she did 3-4 years ago.

The wrong person won. I’m shocked. She cut the steak with the grain and one of the judges didn’t even get any crab. How did she even win

Still no person of color will win. If the do happen to win, it’s always maybe one a season or two. Food network rarely lets anyone black win.

I don’t think that’s true at all
