Im loving Masterchef Professional right now from England... so much better than Chopped or any other show on the Food Network right now...
IMPO.. I think the English do better food shows than we do here... the Hells Kitchen from this past season in the UK with Marco Pierre White was great... the celebrities cooked better than the wankers on the American show :)
