One thing I’ve really enjoyed about the show is seeing the chefs become so competitive. They are given these outrageous challenges, like cooking from a vending machine, and in a college dorm room, and with mystery ingredients, and they really jump in and get in the spirit. They enjoy the challenge. They enjoy food. It makes you have a whole new appreciation for cooking.

Take a look at a recent clip from the show:

The finale is on tonite, with the last remaining three chefs competing for the top prize. But really, I think, the real winner is the viewer. I’ve learned a lot from these guys.
