“Itu0026#39;s very easy to write off a replacement – you like an original presenter etc, and this can be wholly unfair – people are different, and sometimes thatu0026#39;s ok. But…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNot in this case! While OTT and silly, Adam was genuinely funny, quick witted, and knew his stuff.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s all well and good being amusing, but to also know a thing or two about your subject just elevates the premise of the show.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI have tried and tried with Casey, but he just shouts, has zero knowledge, leaves pauses like heu0026#39;s caught in the headlights, and just isnu0026#39;t funny.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSome great eateries, some amazing chefs. But a real step down in presentation. And ultimately the subject makes you want to watch, but the host just pull you in. No longer, sadly.”
