Fire Masters (TV Series 2019– )

Fire Masters: With Dylan Benoit, Eddie Jackson, Hugh Mangum, Andrea Nicholson. Teams of open-flame fanatic chefs face off in three culinary challenges for a chance at $10,000 and the title of Fire Master.

“As charming as host Dylan Benoit may be, two of the u0026quot;judgesu0026quot; on this program are described with their first attribute as a u0026quot;Food Network personality.u0026quot; That says as much about the commerce-driven, reality TV non-creativity that fuels most network television as it does about what viewers (sadly) seek. This is a filmed outside, three contestants instead of four, condescending game show bit that has kept u0026quot;Choppedu0026quot; on the air for however many seasons. While ego is a huge part of cheffing and restauranteuru0026#39;ing, legit cooking is about joy, learning, and culture as it is about u0026quot;look how great I can do thisu0026quot;. We donu0026#39;t need more competition shows.”
