I wish we could see what a good chef could do with a basket of items one might find in a real home in America. Cook up a gourmet meal with, say, a pack of Ramen noodles, can of cream of soup, pack of chicken thighs, broccoli, or whatever. Some of the items in the Chopped baskets seem so far from reality it borders on absurd. I love the concept of the show just wish there was a little more real in the reality.
