What an authentic, refreshing show! I got to the finale and realized that not once on this show was ego, arrogance or drama displayed; just real people standing in their passion. Yes they were there to compete...and...they did it with such a respect of their craft and each other that I found myself invested in each of their individual journeys. I enjoyed every minute of watching as they mastered the mission ahead of them and I learned so much about food in a global sense. I never really considered a bucket list in my life until this show...and now...I kinda want to travel the world just to experience every contestant's and every judges culinary perspective. More shows like this please!
