What's the Story?
FAST FOODIES is a casual competition show about casual dining. Each episode, the three hosts (Chefs Kirsten Kish, Justin Sutherland, and Jeremy Ford) are challenged by a celebrity guest to re-create a favorite fast-food dish and then make it fancy.
Is It Any Good?
There's something intriguing about a zero-stakes food competition show. To fit its cuisine, Fast Foodies creates a casual environment that includes trophies instead of prizes and punishments for losing, like getting shot with hot dogs out of a t-shirt gun (sorry for the spoilers). The freewheeling atmosphere allows the chefs to test out wild ideas and support one another in the process, but without a real investment in the "why" they're cooking, the show just comes off like a sneaky advertorial for the fast-food chains.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about fast food. What sort of casual dining dish would you like to see the chefs take on? What sorts of things do the chefs do to make their meals taste like the fast-food chain's?
What does it mean to elevate a dish? How do the chefs put their own spin on the dishes?
