Chefs vs. City
Last night a new program aired on The Food Network, Chefs vs. City. Food Network chefs, Aaron Sanchez and Chris Consentino raced on an Amazing Race type race against Vegas local chefs, Stephen Hopcraft and Santanna Salas.
The chefs were given a backpack full of items to help them through the race. Along the way there were clues left for them to hint as to where to go and what to do next.
The first challenge was in an ice bar. Yes, a freezing cold ice bar! They had to carve a block of ice, make a drink and pour it through the ice into a glass. Sounds easy right? Not if its 25 degrees below zero!
Next, the chefs were on to an apple orchard to make apple juice with a hand cranked juice press. Who filled up their jar with juice first? Press those apples into juice chefs!
Now onto the Bellagio buffet! Each team needed to eat nearly 10 pounds of food! Can two men eat more and quicker than a man and a woman? Eat chefs eat! So you can find all your clues located under certain dishes!
Onto the MGM Grand hotel with a food ticket in hand, which by the way is where the two local chefs actually work! Can you say home court advantage? Time to deliver room service orders chefs. Be careful not to drop anything off the carts!
The next stop was Shibuya to place another food order and deliver it! Then... back to the car.
Now, the chefs have to eat hamburgers at the Mirage hotel. One team member has to taste three different hamburgers and tell the other team member what they taste in it. The team member that is not eating had to duplicate the burger to move on to the next one. Oh, did I mention the team member eating the burgers were blind folded? Ah, testing those taste buds!
Who will be the winning team?

I LOVE this show because it reminds me of The Amazing Race but it involves food! That buffet challenge had to be so hard. That was a ton of food to eat!
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz......Even die-hard Food Network watchers will be lulled into a deep coma by this tragic attempt at reality TV. The only reality is that I changed the channel after 5 minutes of utter and complete boredom.
why r they wearing back packs from what i watched they arent carrying nething important
