I randomly stumbled onto this Netflix show called Eat Your Words.  The show recruits random people who have badly criticized the food they ate from multiple restaurants and place these amateurs into a kitchen to cook something for a panel of three judges.  One of the judges would be considered knowledgeable in the type of food these amateurs are cooking.  The amateurs have to score an average of 3 or higher else face the punishment of taking back their “words” on social media and live with their hubris/arrogance.

Honestly, I find this show to be infuriating.

• I don’t understand why people would critique food badly.  Chefs don’t purposely make food taste bad.  Plus chefs cook food under some pressure situations where they have to serve dozens of people every night.  I think it’s a pretty hard job.  These random people should know better than to criticize the food just because the food didn’t fit their food pallette.  Seriously, if you don’t like the food, just move on without having to rip the food apart. Wise words from a rabbit…
• I also don’t understand why you need to have a show that turns the table around onto these random people.  At its heart, this is a show that basically takes down people a few notches under the guise of a cooking show.  It’s like the show is trying to elicit a gleeful wicked laugh at the people’s attempt to make a dish in an hour.

I ended up skipping to the very end of every episode to see what scores they got.  Some just barely passed.  And those that didn’t, I got the feeling that they took this all as a joke with very little remorse of the things they wrote.
