The Big Tiny Food Face-Off
What's the Story?
THE BIG TINY FOOD FACE-OFF is a fun and fast-paced cooking competition for young chefs. But, it's not just like any other culinary contest -- these contestants must cook tiny dishes in tiny kitchens! The show is broken into two themed rounds. In each episode, three kid chefs are judged on the taste and presentation of their bite-sized dishes. The hosts and judges give small-food culinary tips as the kid chefs cook. The person who creates the best dish in the first, 30-minute, challenge gains an advantage in round two. After the second round, an ultimate winner is crowned.
Is It Any Good?
This show highlights tiny food, but packs in big fun! The Big Tiny Food Face-Off will entertain viewers with unexpected, challenge themes and surprise furry judges. Each show, which runs approximately 20 minutes, is zany and amusing. Viewers may wonder how the judges are able to rate the dishes and taste their many flavors, as they're gone in one tiny bite. The show is a nice watch for those following the internet trend of tiny cooking, but doesn't provide much educational value.
