You could waych cupcake wars for a month and still not know how to make a basic cupcake.
Iron chef has great chefs but you only see 5 seconds of each dish they make. Dish has 10 ingredients and 8 steps to make it but you only see 1 ingredient and half a process.
Anyway , bring back Emeril and Alton. I do like 30 Minute Meals which is still on sometimes. I also miss Mario Batali. He did a good show and who doesn't like italian now and then.
