Junior Marta Frost, an anthropology and communication science disorders double-major, has recently been watching Cutthroat Kitchen on Netflix. Q: Who introduced you to the show? A: “I watch a lot of cooking shows because I really like cooking. It had ‘kitchen’ in the name, so I was like ‘I’ll just watch this’ and it’s great.” Q: What do you like about the show? A: “It’s basically a game show. I like the aspect that there’s sabotage [which] I feel should be involved in every cooking show. I like how the cooks have to be creative, and it’s not about how good you can cook, it’s how good you can think on the fly.” Q: Who is your favorite character? A: “Alton Brown, the host. I want him to be my uncle. He’s really wacky, and I would appreciate getting Christmas gifts from him occasionally.” Q: What is a favorite episode/moment in the show for you? A: “One time they were supposed to cook biscuits and gravy, but this guy heard briskets and gravy. So, he cooked a bunch of meat instead and got to the judging and was like, ‘Oh no!’ That was a good time. They have to do things like cooking while hopping on one foot and while holding lobster claws for the whole time. There [once] was a 4,000 pound burrito that they had to go through and find ingredients. It’s just wacky.” Q: Is there anything that has changed throughout the show that you like/dislike? A: “It got a lot bigger. They make these giant props they have to use, which I think is cool, but it’s not necessary.”
