Yes, because people watching at home want to wait for the oven to preheat and the water to boil.. How else are they supposed to fit it all into a 30min-60 min show with commercials..??
TubeDeviant has
Lol TubeDeviant
Right? And it's clear it takes longer to film because the Chopped rounds are 20 min, 30 min, 30 min. Then there is tasting, judging, deliberation, interviews, filming all those close ups of the 4th plate. The cooking and time limits are real, who cares if it is really a full day.
Right maybe they need to look how long takes a oven to preheat and water to boil. Before saying stuffs fake which we all know most cook time is cut. And stuffs prepared like the oven and water beforehand
In every 60 mins show you get about 40 of air time and in a 30 min show your prob get about 20 mins that’s once you take out the add break and the start and end credits so what do you expect...
If you watch "Chopped" you know the water is boiling, the ovens are preheated, and the oil in the fryers is ready to go, that doesn't make the show fake! Everybody knows that!
L Chikatilo
the maker of this video doesnt have common sense lol
I always wondered why they’d describe what they made during those Kardashian like moments when it feels like they press pause on the food battle and start talking about it like tf
Exactly, I've worked on game shows and seen many filmed. Standards and practices are very strict. The water may be boiling and I've always assumed they were told the ingredients and given an hour to meal plan, but the cooking time will be exactly what they say it is.
right on!
I think any food left over should definitely go to the homeless shelter no matter what it is if it's food or cake all of that can be used to really help some people.
No way if there was problems in food handling etc and someone got sick, youde have a lawsuit.
And give yourself bad publicity.
5:20 the food from the production can’t be given out because it isn’t made up to health standards for serving to the public. They could also get sued if someone got sick or chokes on it. So it’s safer to throw it away from a lawyers view point. I worked for a caterer. I asked them why we threw so much food away and that’s what I was told.
Oh that makes sense
It’s the same for a lot of places, including ones like Panera’s. Local laws/ordinances often mean you have to throw things out rather than give them to people because of exactly what you mention. It’s not worth it to places to possibly get sued.
@@kiremontmedford8287 😂
Wait! Are you trying to imply that perhaps not everything on TV is real??
Woah! You guys are brilliant beyond words!
tubeboy8 LOL!
Of course not everything else on TV is real.
Dumb...
What they tell you on TV might be misleading but as someone who has been in the audience of over 100 game shows (yes almost everyone in the audience is paid to be there) they are always very strict about rules if someone is winning prize money. 1 hour trivia shows take about 5 hours to film and cooking shows are about 8-10 for the audience so probably longer for contestants.
😁😁
Is indeed real.
Good day and how you doing?
The oven being on and water boiling is not hidden...and doesn't mean its "fake"
All other "proof" you have is pretty much common sense.
Why do you think there is an extra plate made when they cook on chopped?! For the reveal shot and elimination. Lmao
Talko I love you but this is reaching and seems pretty darn desperate.
The Lady Lotus trueeee
The Lady Lotus the oven and water doesn't make a show fake
Romain Savioz None of these thing's mean these shows are fake..
All "reality" television is edited. That's been common knowledge for quite some time.
But talko is really reaching and trying to exaggerate big time.
Bam LMAO
The Lady Lotus yep but just I saw thoses two and stopped watching
The Lady Lotus they make the extra dish to reveal the losing dish
If you want to trash a show, go after Beat Bobby Flay. He wins almost every time...and during judging which is supposedly blind, Bobby and the competitor stand facing the judges...and Bobby makes sure his body language displays which plate is his, and seeing as he is in control of who is on the show -- all those judges wouldn't dare be truthful, so Bobby --- who obviously has such a weak ego that he can't stand to lose, is made winner time and time again. It is NAUSIATING . I have no problem with Chopped's preheated water and ovens.
Kristi N Flay is a prick.
Kristi N plus bobby pulls the secret ingredient front behind his fuckin back like c'mon really no one seen that before hand huh bullshit
I agree. Flay is a pompous prick.
His win ratio is only about 65% and I’ve noticed the body language thing too but I just assume it’s the editing
My little French grandma would say about men like Flay, “He thinks his self.” Loosely interpreted he is so conceited and vain that he thinks he’s the most important guy in the universe!!! So, all I have to say is, He thinks his self!
After the 90's to early 00's, The Food Network went down hill. That's when, and why I stopped watching their *"cooking"* shows.
I used to be glued to certain shows before The Food Network changed. I don't even have cable anymore because most TV shows nowadays are trash, and also because cable is too damn expensive with so many unnecessary channels.
What really turns me off while watching these shows is that the chefs are always tasting with the same spoon without changing them or always eating the ingredients while cooking....
Considering how many times the judges complain about seasoning, I'm pretty sure that they have to be tasting the real prepared food. Otherwise, the competitors are eliminated due to someone else's error.
I stopped watching Food Network ages ago. It went from cooking shows to all competitive cooking contest or some hidden camera crap.
I gave up on the Food Network for the same reason.
me 2 I like cooking shows
Yeah. I watch TH-cam if I want to learn new recipes, especially authentic ethic recipes.
man! the hidden camera stuff......is annoying, just cook 4 god's sake!!
So much Bobby Flay and Guy Fieri has deterred me. I used to love it.
Every show is fake..
no it's fake lmao
Mystic zodiac Mystic zodiac The Talko is fake too..it’s not a girl talking. It’s an 11 year old boy. They’re screwed when he hits puberty.
😂😆😂
Not diners drive ins and dives
No, most of them are fake yes but not every single one.
*Edited.*
*Edited, edited, edited. It's all about editing.*
im not happy with the idea of them letting all that food go to waste. so messed up
I agree seriously there are homeless people out on the streets begging for food and they throw food away. Shame on the food network I'm not interested in their garbage.
You should make a show cooking a Thanksgiving turkey. Yeap? Spend 8 hours of real TV time waiting for
The turkey to be ready.
Sickening how they waste food. Also the judges don't eat the competition food. Food network used to be about cooking, now it is largely cheesy hype.
This is disgusting they need to donate all that food to soup kitchens
can't they at least feed the food to a local farmer's pigs? My elementary school did that much.
Angrynoodle Twenty Five
How many pig farms are a convenient to downtown Manhattan or Los Angeles?
Sometimes local ordinances and/or the criteria of those on the potential receiving end make more problem than it's worth.
George Anderson they could give it to the poor?
Sofia. F
They can try. Some places have health dept. restrictions, which in their exacting requirements, can make it difficult.
Snuper Infinite If any of the health regulations are violated, the food must be discarded. Think of the food competition being subjected to one continuous food inspection. Violating a rule may lead to illness. Thus the food is discarded.
George Anderson the casino buffets in Vegas send the leftover food to local pig farms. They aren't the only type of business that could use the leftover food either. It could be sent to a processing plant to be used in making compost, sent to a power plant and incinerated to produce electricity, and probably a few more uses too.
I can't stand that Alex Guarachelli.. she annoys me to the core😕😒she's so rude and snippy
In my humble opinion, they killed the Food Network with all these competitive shows. Maybe only one or two shows left worth watching. I've taken my foodie but over to the Travel Channel. Better and more likeable personalities, without the pompous arrogance.
I've watched the Food Network from the very beginning, and like many other folks, I grew tired of Emeril.......but just casting him aside wasn't the right thing to do. He single handidly built that network, so even if he's remained very successful out of the limelight, he should still have a show on the network........in possibly a different form witch remains true to his core audience and fans.
Very disrespectful what was done to him! BAM!
I'm trying to wrap my head around all tht food being thrown out (smh) very saddened..
Well, Chopped is now ruined. Granted I am aware of the stylist and the preheating, and the all day shooting but the fact that they don't actually taste the chefs' food is total BS.
I was taught that a "chef"(TV or not)had to wear a hat when preparing food,and no rings(jewelry)and a hair net.
After watching some of these shows, I can't eat in restaurants; I cook 95 % of my food... I see hair flying around, double dipping; and why oh why does everyone have to drink straight out of the bottle of alcohol that is part of the ingredients??? Just nasty gross cooks that I wouldn't want anywhere near my food!
All of the food should be donated to shelters! What a waste 😡
If they donate it and someone gets sick, they can be sued.
Kat Ann that’s not possible in every state because legally they can’t. Here in Maryland we had a Dunkin’ Donuts franchise owner who, at the end of each day would donate ALL of his remaining stock (donuts, bagels, etc.) to a local shelter. What did he get for his kindness? Sued and he lost his business! Not because any of the food was bad but because some of the people in the shelter felt as if they were being treated LESS THAN because said food was transported and delivered in clear trash bags. I know because I volunteered to deliver for the owner a few times. People suck and fu🤬s it up for other folks!
Ronnie Ferguson wow, that's real harsh, SMH 😔
I stopped watching food network for one main reason, you could tell it was not live TV cooking. Even Hell's Kitchen shows you that some of the tools used had help getting to the right heat/boil temps before the cooking camera's were on. The editing on chopped showed up that what they were eating something else altogether. Even iron chef seemed pre-taped and edited as if we didn't know that some of the cooking was pre-done, sort of like the morning show cooking segments..
Whaaaaat? Reality competition shows are staged?!? What a surprise, I would never have guess! That must other reality shows are staged too! Like surviver, and drag race, big brother, what an outrage! 🙄
Honestly though what a terrible video
Again, the origin of the phrase "BAM!" isn't fake. Emirl invented it in a creative way and it carried over into his TV show.
I start my water hot for pasta so it boils quick...but the oven and fryer already being hot..that just makes sense
Well that just ruined half the shows on the food network I watch, haha
You do have to give them a lil credit tho. You can’t expect all of it to be on the spot.
Justin Thomas don't believe everything thing you hear have common sense for your self
Oh my yes!! Pizzed me off!! Chopped is just common sense. Just like those "fake" but living women.. .. The Hills. The Valley club. Or whatever... Justin Thomas
The only REAL disturbing thing is the fact that food is being wasted. But that is only true for cooking competitions since programs like "The kitchen" or Ina Garden's show don't make 150000lbs of food. Plus I doubt that in non cooking competition shows filming lasts for 87 hours each time. This video is basically calling out food network's cooking competitions
It was my understanding that on some of these shows, extra food was shared with the camera crew or if there was an audience, they could come up and eat after taping was over. When "The Chew" was on ABC, I think I remember them letting the audience eat what was made. On shows like Barbecue brawl, at least on the finale, the judges and the finalists sit down to share the meal that was prepared.
All cooking show are faked. Like Ina Garten for example. There are chefs set up in a separate kitchen on her property. Think about it. If she is slow roasting something , the camera crew can't wait 6 hours while it slow roasts. The camera's also never show you cleaning up and washing all the gadgets, pots and pans she uses. She shows how it will be made. The stop the camera, the cleaners come in and clean the kitchen, her off camera chefs bring in the perfectly cooked item which is swapped out in the oven with the raw one Ina had put in. Then Ina pulls out this perfectly cooked dinner in a fully cleaned kitchen, not a splotch on the inside of her oven. She also uses about $200 in ingredients and another $500 or so on table decorations and flowers. Then her fake friends arrive for the fake party. Do you really think every day 5 days a weeks she is really having a dinner party each time, or a garden party the next, a beach party on the third day on an on.
Yeah the unsanitary food prep I see on these shows drives me nuts! Even basic things like wearing hair up/hair net .. not washing their hands .. tasting the food with a spoon then putting it back in to stir, etc.
I think we knew most of this.
Ooo. Yeah.
Exactly
They could donate the cakes to orphanages or homeless chelters even children hospital's..cause its someone's birthday everyday right? not everyone can afford cake,they could also donate them to churches for weddings to broke couples or events like they can always find somewhere that cake will be appreciated instead of trashing it.
I cooked prfesionally for 45 years and, worked wth chefs on irron chef etc , and they said, they knew what all was in boxes etc in advance. No way a chef is going to sabotage His career on national TV like that.
These shows NEVER show washing the fruit or the vegetables or anything else - and like Supermarket Stakeout - it comes out shopping carts
That's because of the 1950s quiz show scandals. The shows have to have a lawyer on the set to make sure that the shows are on the up-and-up.
Most shows on TV nowadays are fake. A lot of them a perfectly made to look like movies. So, food network, Vh1, travel channel....they are all look the same.
big companies won't donate food because of the risk of being sued if someone got sick i worked in fast foo industry
They preheat ovens..and have boiling water on hand?!?!..ive been doing that in my kitchen for years..I'm a sham😭😭😭
So I guess the network would rather toss the cakes than give them to a local school or daycare center?
Kids love cake ! 🍰
Schools don't even let moms bring in cupcakes for birthdays because they're 'unhealthy'-I doubt they'll let any cakes from these shows be donated
Jason Yang I kinda agree...
Ever see videos on YT of things stores toss out and not donate?
Not talking about food stuff....but nice things....from clothes to household stuff.
Ive watched a few dumpster divers vids and was like a deer in the headlights with what many things they find!!
Oddly enough...my now ex brother in law back in the early 90s went to the dumpster behind Publix... And he got over $500 in meats...... From pork chops, ribs, steaks, chicken... Beef cubes for stew.....none of it bad and not expiring for days.
His friends son told him that works there what they throw out all the time...
Now a shelter could use food like that...
Anita J in FLA to avoid more obese people such as yourself it isn’t common practice to stuff kids full of cakes and extra food. They’re fed in school already.
Icon ... Thanks for the ignorant comment. Had I been 'thin' when going through chemotherapy I would have died with what weight I DID lose during 5 months of treatments.
My being overweight AKA obese as you say helped save my life as Id lost quite a bit. Doctor's all said that would be the worst thing to do going through to treat Stage 3. I at least had a bit of weight where Id be ok.
Let's just hope you or someone you know never has to go through such a thing...
My friend weighed 140 when diagnosed.. Died 6 months later losing 60 pounds.
You don't have to be a jerk and comment about ones weight
Anita J in FLA you said all that to prove what? You’re obese it’s not ok, never will be ok and it’s a disease running rampant! Kids do not need extra desserts, food and cakes!
Holy crap the guy with Anthony Mackie in that XBox commercial. Isn't that the guy from the "Apple Store" who declared that Steve Rogers was a "specimen" in Winter Soldier?
5:20 well yeah it sounds bad that they dont get to donate the cake, but i work for a restaurant that donated food ro a shelter. there was one case where a homeless guy sued, yes SUED, the restaurant for giving tainted food. idk if it was bas or not, or if the shelter didnt properly care for the food. either way it is possible the food network can be held liable if someone claims sickness from the food. this could be a way to prevent a lawsuit
No I'm not surprised love good network
Every insightful , but I clicked on the video because of the thumbnail, so I wish you would put tht in the video 🤦🏾♀️
Do you expect food network to show boiling water for 30 minutes?
Do you expect us to watch bringing water to boil for 30 minutes?
So many food banks could benefit from some of that food. Truly sad.
What is your definition of "fake"? These facts don't make the shows fake. Change the title. Very misleading.
Beat Bobby Flay is so bogus. For the “surprise” signature dish, all the ingredients are miraculously in the refrigerator,ready to go? Even the most exotic unusual dish seems to be mastered by Flay time after time. I think he (or his staff)prepares the recipe plan in advance. I don’t watch food network any longer. I’m not into competitive cooking or celebrities teaching me how to cook. I want trained chefs who work in or own successful restaurants. Oh, I went to Flays restaurant in Vegas & the food was so bad I’ve never had the desire to return on subsequent trips. So much underserved Flay hype.
The thing about 460 healthcode violations... the vast majority (IE licking fingers) are perfectly acceptable when cooking for yourself. So its of less concern then say... blood everywhere at your station or cutting raw chicken then Running back to the pantry... things ive seen on food network and addressed with the contestant durring the show.
Another thing most of these long time food network fans already knew. For instance they film 2 iron chef episodes a day (of filming) for about 2 weeks in the summer. That holiday special wasnt even filmed last month. The contestants dont know what curveballs the "chairman" will toss thier way but they are given a short list of what to expect. That is why they know to bring these exotic tools and serving "dishes". Such as Himalayan pink salt rock. And a korean tea set.
Guy has a catchphrase ITS All FAKE
This video is angering because of all the waste being done and just overlooked. A bunch of liars that only care about fame and money.
I thought that the comments about Chopped were so stupid! Any idiot knows that the water is already boiling and the ovens were preheated... so what!!!
You’re surprised that a TV show, filmed at a studio, that takes HOURS to film a 30min tv show, would fake a few things?!? Come on!?! Nobody is THAT dumb.
This is so stupid and I'm so sorry you got my view. Duhhh....
Hello pam
How are you doing now?
Wasn't that "Guy" from Sugar Ray?
Or was it Smash Mouth?
Basically the same snake skins...
Sugar Ray meant a trim of the water weight.
hey im early
Man, you can feed the homeless with those!
Breaking news: Water is wet. Developing.
Having preheated ovens and boiling water doesn't make it a fake. With limited cooking times they do that for all contestants. Otherwise no one would be able to finish their dish. It's the only help they get and well deserved.
That's why I don't watch TV period even the local news is fake I watch movies or Hulu original or Netflix
All I can think of is all the needy people who would be appreciative for that wasted food.
What a waste of food.
So if the food they make on camera is going straight to the trash why would they care how safely they handle it? I never thought reality TV was real I always thought of it as unscripted to give the illusion of reality.
The unsanitary part is true in all kitchens. Chefs dip their fingers in sauces to taste all the time. Too busy to grab a spoon and plastic spoons go on the supplies budget and real spoons are needed as they always get lost in the trash when cleaning off plates. Sorry, just the way it is. BTW, I am a Chef, so I know
When I trained for props, they told us food props for pics and tv is the biggest market for our skills
I worked in a restaurant when I was younger and the cooks would smoke cigarettes while cooking and ash in the food, as well as pick their noses. That's just what I saw. Better to make your own food.
That title sounded a lot more interesting than the video turned out to be.
I knew Cut Throat Kitchen was manipulated when a chef was given a grill and som wood to cook on. As an avid Backwoodsman, I know how long it takes to get a nice hot grill from wood. (Had I been on that episode, when the challenge was brought out I'd yell TAKE HIS MONEY AND BRING IT ON.... DADDY" AND proceed to fire up the grill.
I hear so many claims but very little evidence.
Want your water to boil faster? FIll the lot with steaming hot water
About boiling water part, go see Hell’s Kitchen. One episode when the woman team forgot to boil the water, Chef Ramsay seal the pot with tin foil and “boils in two minutes”
Food stylists are common practice in the food biz; be it in print, movies or television...but I hardly see this is somehow cheating, but more a matter of practicality. Chefs, like regular walking and talking humans (read us) all need our little tricks to keep us (and our staffs) awake and interesting...is this somehow fake or just smart? And of course the water is always boiling, the oil hot and ovens lit for televised cooking competitions...otherwise our hour long shows would be HOURS long. Come on 'The Talko'...you are truly the one who seems to be 'stretching the truth'.
Seriously no surprise there. You just cannot believe everything that you see or hear , especially on tv. The real shame of it all is the wasted food . Hmmm
How could they waste food like that when there is millions. Of people without food and how can they said its a challenge when they pick who the winner is.
Just the fact that ALL that food is thrown out instead of donated to the poor has me ready to boycott the Food Network even tho I LOVE cooking shows. I say FAIL!
You don't say? The next thing you going to tell me is that the American Idol contestants have no Talent.
How does the fact that they preheat the ovens make the shows fake
They could donate the leftover cake to homeless shelters/centers.
We need a cooking show that is 100% realistic as it can get to cook a meal from start to finish.
How is making food fake....
Trust me... some old school chefs will use their fingers to taste... seen it at least 3 restaurants
What about supermarket steakout? They can't fake a show in a parking lot.
What is fake about any of this? Having a ready kitchen with temps is fake? Bantering or entertaining staff is fake? Legal representation in a contractual situation is fake? Making cake art without intent to eat it is fake? Come on. Fake would be predetermined winners to contests or computer generated food.
Also the cake also gets donated....
All reality TV is fake I always knew that
TF? all TV shows are fake. you all honestly needed a video to tell you that?
None of these surprise me. This was warm tea.
okay, do these people really thing we are idiots? like, lay people can't figure out that there is editing and that things take longer so they don't have time to air it? that some of the "drama" is just dramatic for tv purposes? that some of the things they make would also have a stylist? that they don't eat all the food and cake (though personally, that bothers me that its wasted" we are NOT STUPID. shheeeeshhh!
@8:11 That is Masterchef Australia - which is NOT a Food Network program. #Factcheck
All cooking shows have to be edited because it takes more than an hour to cook food from scratch.
How does having the water boiling and oven on make the show fake ?
i like to watch food network i’m british and. i like to watch mystery diner
Man, there are people around the world that need to eat food and these shows waste food. Must feel really great to contribute to world hungr
They do the same thing for TV commercials for like McDonald’s Burger King Exc.
Wondered about water boiling? About ovens being hot? No not really. But wondering how stupid people make TH-cam videos that somehow end up in my recommended list? I wonder about that a lot...
I mean, sometimes they literally say "I prepared this awhile ago to save time and show you the final product". Do you really want to watch meat marinate for an hour? Evidently the makers of this video do.
What about kids baking championship? How do they memorize so many recipes...
How are you doing now?
The only thing disturbing is the waste of food shame on you food network. Why not give it too homeless shelters people in need that really is so wasteful with a lot of citizens walking around hungry.
boiling water and turning on an oven isn't cooking
