Mauro explained to ABC Audio how Food Network series such as
Chopped or his own,
Kitchen Crash became staples on the network he’s called home for decades.
“People love to be critics and judges in their home,” the chef said, noting how American watchers have transitioned from passive to active spectators. “It’s so funny how people are, like, ‘What you made wasn’t good! You didn’t deserve to win that!’ Without ever having a bite of it. It’s crazy where you can kind of judge somebody… via your couch.”
