NBC greenlights new series where food is prepared for entertainment purposes, rather than sustenance
Proposing the notion that preparing food can be done for things besides feeding the hungry, NBC has picked up a new reality series in which cooking is performed for the purposes of entertainment, briefly tasted, then thrown right in the garbage. It’s a concept that’s only been tested several dozen times on as many networks, likely right now and again an hour later, but almost never on NBC that you can remember. But soon NBC will have its own cooking competition in Food Fighters, a show where America’s amateur cooks face off against pro chefs, then they fling mashed potatoes at each other until they feel something.
