Love it

I absolutley love this show. Came across it by complete accident. However I beleave that its not a fair show. It took me like 3 shows to figure out that when you bring in the surprise chef that they will always know whos dish is who's because the dish is always on the side where the person, (kid or man) is standing every time. I think you should mix them up. That way, you have no way of knowing whos dish is whos until after the vote. Those kids are fantastic cooks, they are very good at what they do. In the long run, fair is fair. Don't make it easy for that surprise chef to vote. Am going to keep watching.

Absolutely fantastic!

Triumph of TV. Almost like Genius Junior meets cooking. The host is knowledgeable and respects children's intelligence. Kids' minds are mesmerizing and goes on to burst the myth of 10000 to be expert at something and that nothing is impossible if kids are gifted. (But is another discussion). Little Estie is adorable. The judges are neutral and doesn't play favoritism. Watching the contestants go head to head in each three phases against the 'bosses' is like watching two GM play as their craftsmanship is so nuanced.
