So much for enjoying the art of cooking and being comforted by it. Now it's Food Wars, Cupcake Wars, etc. Just plain stupid.
Medusa, Food Wars and Cupcake Wars are not about food fights. "Food Wars" is about two restaurants competing to say who makes the best "X" in "Y" - like the best Cheesesteak in Philadelphia or the best deep dish pizza in Chicago. And Cupcake wars does not involve throwing cupcakes, it is a competition with 4 different bakers to see who makes the best cupcakes. It's a 'reality' show, so there are different parameters each time, but it's not about throwing food.
