Doesn't work. A bunch of young chefs who are not that funny, trying to be entertaining and really trying too hard.
Needs something else to make it watchable, some kind of structure on the interactions, or straight man to temper all the one up man ship of the bad unscripted humor or something, I don't know what would help. Cooking shows (or any kind of reality show) really do have to have a lot of authenticity in the people to make them watchable. But here all the authenticity I feel is a bit of sadness under the faked enthusiasm of the chefs.
Food premise is also uninspired. We don't really learn a lot about cooking. Just 3 talented but pretentious young chefs kind of showing off.
Format is a failure. And I'm sure these 3 chefs are talented and nice people, but not everybody was meant to be a TV star.
