There is an opportunity for learning in this show. Ann Burrell and
Bobby Flay show the novice cooks how to prepare an item. The novice
cooks try to duplicate the dish and also do a riff on it. For other
viewers who may be as challenged in the kitchen, watching others make
mistakes and learning from them will be helpful and maybe empowering.

Not everyone is like you, born with flawless taste, cooking
technique, plating and style.

Give some other folks a break. Television shows can't be designed
just for you. There are plenty of people out there that literally
know nothing about food and food preparation. They may gain courage
from a show like this and try something on their own.
