food network competition show idea! the chefs have to make a meal out of whatever is in the limited pantry, and each task they have to complete in the kitchen costs them a spoon
vampiricist
going to the pantry to fetch something? lose a spoon. gotta boil water or preheat the oven? spoon.

Call it Spoon Theory.

Or Tasting Spoons
vampiricist
each chef is given a random amount of spoons at the start of the round and padma lakshmi can take away one or more of your spoons at any time during the round
vampiricist
those names are both excellent
vampiricist
if you run out of spoons you have to present whatever you have at that time to the judges
Spookitty
Can contestants trade spoons for things from each other?
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
And there's one option. Where, if you're nowhere near something edible at that point, you can opt to serve the judges cup noodle.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
Or a frozen burrito.

: an excellent question, i like where this is going, because asking for help does personally cost me a spoon. i will say yes! you can trade a spoon to ask a fellow contestant for something
vampiricist
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
: yes, this. either you present what you have or you give the judges some microwaved ramen
Spookitty
Or like they got X ingredient I need some of, so I trade Y spoons for it.
vampiricist
Spookitty
: yeah totally. if someone took all the tortillas and you need two to make a microwave quesadilla, you can trade for it
Spookitty
I'll give 5 spoons and my flank steak for your fillet...

⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
Any pre-packaged can meal, like soup or spaghettios.

it doesn't ahve the spoon part
broken 🗲 fuse
but it has some of the other parts
Spookitty
Alternatively, like the budgeting show, you get a fixed amount for all rounds...

and it's real cute

if the chef tries to doctor the safe meal in any way, it's an instafail
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
you put a hard boiled egg?? in the ramen? failure
vampiricist
broken 🗲 fuse
: ooh i will have to check that out! always down for a new food show

vampiricist

: YES, no doctoring! you gotta present it as-is.
broken 🗲 fuse
another recommendation: unrelated, but this is my favourite netflix one. snack vs chef
broken 🗲 fuse
it's also REAL CUTE and has a lot of representation
broken 🗲 fuse
like trans chefs
broken 🗲 fuse
two of them i believe?
broken 🗲 fuse
and a gay chef
broken 🗲 fuse
barely any white people, etc
broken 🗲 fuse
it's real good at representation
