I know usually he does lose, so at least there's that, but the few I've seen of him winning it's against people that I really want to see win. Like the clam chowder episode, where it was that one guy in brooklyn that was REALLY excited that Food Network finally recognized him, and how he was disappointed that it was a throwdown challenge instead, or this bakery that just wanted people to try to visit Harlem for good food.
I guess it makes for good TV but that's still a really shitty thing to do. He even gets time to prepare a challenge-worthy dish too. If his contestants even knew they were going to be challenged at least then they'd have time to prepare a dish that they would like to be judged. And then if it doesn't win, they could always turn around and say "Well I guess that proves you shouldn't fix what ain't broken."
I haven't tried it, no. I've heard of it and wanted to go so I could find out what a gourmet burger made in the style of a food network superstar would taste like, fully expecting it to cost an exorbitant amount of money, but I genuinely don't think I'd find it tasty mostly out of principle. Your opinion makes me wanna try a five-guys burger first, which is what I was most likely going to do anyway.
