Has anyone seen the Chef Jeff program?

I watched the set up for the series a few days ago. I have to admit that I was impressed by his story. He seemed to be really humble about being able to go from a prison to becoming a chef-I didn't see why or what he went to jail for-only that he made it out and was trying to teach people how to get ahead thru cooking.

I did tune into the the premiere of the show and was a little taken back by the small part I saw. I tuned in as they went to feed the crew of the Genera; Hosp soap opera.

I didn't get it. I understand the pressire of cooking as a job/vocation, but is it a contest? A school? I'll have to watch it from the beginning to see.

I was a little turned off about the way the cooks were after each other. There were two guys that were mad dogging eah other-the one made a statement about if he was alone with the other guy he thought they would have fought it out.

And I also was a little confused about CJ's attitude toward his charges and the way he gave them instructions on how to prepare they food.....

Did the NTFNS's show run it's course?
I really haven't watched any of the FN lately-I have looked for something new and haven't seen anything that interests me.

There was a huge push for new shows and then nothing. I have noticed that the new shows are just the regulars cooking with family or people who have sent in recipes....even then the shows are kinda lame.
