I haven't watched much of The Kitchen on Food Network, but what I have seen has been great. The hosts are obviously buzzed/drunk, which is fine. Who doesn't love cooking up some dank food while tipsy? Sometimes the guests seem annoyed by the hosts "energy ". It's like The Kitchen hosts don't give any fricks. They don't engage the audience at all. I suspect that the audience is canned, so they are just pretending and it's damn funny.
