- The Race-to-the-Bottom continues.🙄
This show was once a staple. I have difficulty describing what it’s become. It has degenerated into a cooking show apart from the now very occasional worthwhile guest where Brendan excels as an interviewer. Time for a new production team or cancel the show.
“Sprucing Up Your Packed Lunch”-Seriously! Why even bother. Nonsense!
