In a food-pun-filled review, Variety's Geoff Berkshire offers a scathing takedown of NBC's Food Fighters, the culinary competition hosted by Adam Richman. The show — which "might as well be dubbed IronMasterTop Chef Chopped Throwdown" — is succinctly summarized as "fresh as last week's leftovers" and the "TV dinner of culinary competitions." Perhaps unsurprisingly, the show's debut episode did not fare well in the ratings, with 4.6 million viewers. [Variety, HR]
