If you you had a food show on TV what would it be?

When I watch The Next Food Network Star, I ponder how I would answer the questions and how I'd handle the challenges.

As far as the theme, that's easy. It would be making food from scratch. All sorts of things. Some complicated, like puff pastry, some simple like salad dressing. Some of these things, people wouldn't be all that interested in making, but they might be interested in knowing what's really in there, and what it takes to make the item. some things that seem mysterious are really pretty simple.

The challenges on the show would probably cause me problems. On a 30-minute TV show I could make lovely cinnamon bread, because there would be swap-outs. But so many of the challenges on FN Star are timed, and while I could make a salad and a steak and a side dish, it really wouldn't represent what I'd want to demonstrate on a show. So I probably wouldn't do all that well...

Sigh. But I'd love to see a show like that on FN. Good eats is kind of like that, but on mine it would be more about tasting and creativity and much less about the science.
