I have a small obsession. It’s an odd obsession. One my family and friends simply do not understand.
I love cooking competition shows.
This really isn’t strange, but people that know me well find it strange because I am a very picky eater. Very rarely do competitors on these shows ever make anything that I would even consider eating. Even Top Chef: Just Desserts tests my very, very pronounced sweet tooth. I don’t get ideas from these shows, I don’t want to make what they make, but somehow I find the act of cooking/baking fascinating… in competition.
Chopped, Iron Chef America, all the Top Chefs… count me in. Even if I have no idea why.
