Because The Show Is Popular, People Do

People Want Honest, Flavourful Food, Not Some Show-off Meal That Takes Days To Prepare.

When The Idea Of 'chopped' Surfaced, It Was Originally Meant To Be Taped At Some Guy's Mansion With Him And His Crazy Chihuahua. A Stuffy Fellow In A Tuxedo Was To Host, And The Losing Chef's Dish Was Then Fed To The Dog! I Am Not Kidding, I Saw It! I Think It Is Genius! Twisted, But Genius!

If I Have Committed Any Culinary Atrocities, Please Forgive Me.

People Who Hardly Ever Cook At All, Suddenly At The Holidays, Feel Like It's Their Responsibility To Not Only Cook Dinner For Large Groups Of People Suddenly, But To Serve Things That Are Fussy Or Fancy Or Formal. And I Don't Think That's What Anybody Really Wants, Especially If You're Not Good At It.

It's Very Important To Me That People Who Are Actual Chefs And Other Professionals In The Culinary World, Understand That I'm Not, And Have Never Held Myself Out As Being, Like A Cia Trained Chef.
