In this age when everyone considers themselves a "foodie", various food variety shows emerge in endlessly.

This summer, there has been a clustering of food-related programs on screen variety shows. Some programs focus on food production, some allow celebrities to compete in cooking skills, and others use a delicacy to connect characters' stories, but without exception, they have

The dual attributes of "food" and "star".

The third season of Jiangsu Satellite TV's "Star Chef Arrives" continues the competition mode, with many celebrity chefs competing in group competitions and individual competitions to compete in cooking skills.

In the latest episode of the program aired this week, the task of seven celebrity chefs including Wang Lin, Jia Ling, Tian Liang, and Qin Hailu is to make a variety of breakfasts and challenge breakfast matching to new heights.

"Familiar Taste" combines the theme of food and gratitude, and the celebrity client "goes back in time" to reunite with the tastes, scenes and people in his memory.

"Who's Your Food II" includes celebrity cooking, competition, in-depth interviews, high-looking chefs and other highlights. The celebrity guests compete through exclusive private kitchens.

In addition, the third season of Nicholas Tse's "Twelve Flavors" and "One Chef, Two Servants" starring Huang Lei and He Jiong are also about to meet the audience.

In addition to the endless delicious food in screen variety shows, online variety shows are also "eating, eating, eating".

Recently, "Please Take Care of the Refrigerator" has been released online again, attracting the attention of netizens. In addition, "Sister Is So Hungry", "The Temptation of Dinner", etc. will also be broadcast online one after another.

"Sister Is So Hungry" is an interactive variety show that combines gourmet cooking and gender topics. The audience will once again experience the spicy interaction between Little S and the male guests.

"The Temptation of Dinner" adopts a new model of "eating, chatting and playing". During the witty conversation between Ma Dong and the guests, he narrowed the distance with the audience.

The programs invariably use food to convey emotions. It is not difficult to find in these popular food variety shows that the production process and final presentation of the food are only a small part. The programs mostly convey emotions and tell the stories of stars.

The highlight of "The Star Chef Arrives" is "food conveys love".

When making her signature dish, Charmaine Sheh revealed that she was making a "fish kiss" dish.

The name of the dish "Kissing Fish" is an alias given by She's mother to coax 4-year-old Charmaine Sheh to eat fish. This dish, which carries childhood memories and mother's taste, moved netizens very much. "I hope Xiaoman can go home and make it for me."

Mom eats it.”

Although the show contains a competitive element, the guests are still a warm group.

Guo Qilin was not good at cooking, so Qin Hailu and Wang Lin took turns to help; Charmaine Sheh accidentally pricked her finger, and her friends rushed to help her find a band-aid to bandage it... "Familiar Taste" emphasizes humanistic sentiments.

Different from previous food programs, although "Familiar Taste" also involves the process of finding ingredients and making food, the process of making the dishes is not the focus. The emotional story behind it is the highlight that is amplified.

In the show, Tang Wei made Dongpo Pork for a primary school teacher, and Li Yundi cooked pickled fish for his mother. These ordinary dishes contain the gratitude of the stars, but no one knows whether the dishes are delicious, tasty, and fragrant.

Netizens also clearly felt the emotional meaning of the show when watching the show, "Tang Wei made a Dongpo pork dish to thank his teacher and mother's love. Food is indeed like this, carrying certain memories and emotions of appropriate shades. This is the essence of cooking."

People put effort into giving the taste and texture of the dishes, and the care for the people who taste the dishes during the cooking process is also a sublimation of the people who taste the dishes’ experience of the dishes themselves and the emotional sublimation of the people who cook them.”

"Li Yundi made a pickled fish dish full of childhood memories for his mother. No matter how gorgeous and handsome you are on stage, you are a filial son off stage." In terms of online variety shows, "Please Leave the Refrigerator", "You Look Good"

"Eat" both contain elements of cooking competitions, but they are basically treated in a downplayed manner.

Some viewers believe that "Please Help the Refrigerator" is a mixture of half talk show and half gourmet food, while "You Look Delicious" is more like a customized program for celebrity gossip, and the food may be more of a gimmick.

one.

Audiences expect the program to be more "food-friendly". Although the emotional depictions of food variety shows are indeed moving, some viewers believe that since the program advertises delicious food, the color, aroma and production process of the food should not be ignored. "Otherwise, they will lose the ability to watch these shows.

'pleasure".

Some food programs nowadays cannot be said to be food programs at all!

It’s the celebrity version of missing people, food and dishes are just a carrier, the focus is on emotional push!

Fortunately, celebrities have their own charm, otherwise the show would be unwatchable.

"The program pays more attention to the interaction between celebrities or between celebrities and guests. The cooking process often flashes by... This should be the focus!"

"The competitive nature of the program has dropped significantly while the entertainment and comedy aspects have soared. This is a fatal positioning mistake for foodies because it dampens the interest of food audiences.

"Some viewers missed the allure of documentaries such as "A Bite of China", "At that time, I was so hungry most of the night watching "A Bite of China" and my appetite was great, but now it is difficult for those variety shows to inspire foodies.

Desire, where is the delicious food that was promised?

"Although I can't cook, I am keen on food documentaries and food dramas. I even watch cooking variety shows like "The Star Chef Is Here".

But some shows don’t make me love cooking.

"If the show doesn't focus on food, why is it still under the banner of food?"

Please focus the camera on the dishes.
