I'll admit to being a big Top Chef fan as well as an Iron Chef fan. And while its true that I don't learn how to cook anything from watching the show, to me that criticism is like complaining that baseball players don't stop the game to spend time giving a batting clinic or that I dont learn how to play the guitar by watching music videos. The goal of the show is not to teach me how to cook but to show the viewers people cooking interesting things in interesting ways, which is really what my interest is. And while Top Chef sometimes dwells more on the personalities and less on the cooking than I would like, it generally does a pretty good job of sticking to its core goals.
These kinds of shows might not be your cup of tea, but it seems like a weird criticism to make. There are a number of shows that do try to teach people how to cook -- why not just watch one of those instead of complaining about the others? I dont turn on football games and then complain that they arent playing baseball. Darren -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
