I don't know if anyone else has been watching this show on PBS but I have been enjoying it immensely. There were finalists chosen from all over the country to be eliminated after set tasks with only one being considered the winning chef with a guaranteed position for Mr. English in his NYC restaurant.

The panel of judges are fair and good in their commentary on letting contestants know what they were looking for on each task. Each week one potential chef is "86'd" with a frying pan. They leave the competition.

I am enjoying the tasks and mix of personalities.

Anyone else watching this one?

I'm ashamed to say I was watching America's Next Top Model.....but plan to watch the PBS show, next week. What I saw, during ANTM commercials, made me want to stay....but it was the finale, and, you know........whine, whine, whine:-)

Antiemike, I accidentally came across the show one time and didn't remember when. Can you tell me when it is on?

Someone is advertising a new show called, I think, "Hell's Kitchen" coming on in the near future. I think it was either UPN or Fox.

Sunrvrose: I believe it is on at 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday nights. I find this extremely bad timing as I always watch LOST (I'm hooked!). However, since it is on PBS they repeat the same shows in the middle of the night, several times in a week. I have ended up using our TiVO and catching it at either 1:30 or 2:30 a.m., or something like that.

Do you have TiVO available? That would be the best way to catch it. It can tell you exactly when it is on and you can easily "program" it to record the episodes.

I was drawn to this show as I love cooking shows and we don't have cable. So, I'm always looking for shows that may be of interest and available. This one is done really well and I am enjoying the cooking and the competition and the personalities.

Speaking of cooking under fire how about that "Hell's Kitchen"? Looks intense :-)

My husband wants to watch Hells Kitchen but he can't understand Ramsay. He was trying to watch him on PBS and he laughs at the visuals but loses alot in the translation. Watching him (my hubby) trying to understand is as funny as watching the show!

Hell's Kitchen has my attention for now but that is because they have shown a few reruns of Cooking Under Fire. I hope we get a new episode this week. It is more like the upper scale of cooking shows vs Hell's Kitchen, the .......... version. I know, I know, Hell's Kitchen is more entertaining but I do enjoy this show as well. Maybe I'm a frustrated chef wannabe.

I looked for this show, and saw the one where the curly haired French guy got 86'd after his horrible turine.

I like Ming Tsai's cooking show, and I like that people get "86'd". Looking forward to catching a few more episodes.

I do watch both Cooking Under Fire and Hell's Kitchen. I prefer CUF. Wish it was an hour long. Maybe I'll give up on HK. Ramsay's over the top. If he's really like that -- he should get over himself.

Saw it in the wee hours this morning. I really liked it. Golly, gee whiz, a reality show where the contestants are actually qualified.

Down to the final four -- three girls, Autumn, Katie, and Sarah, and a boy, Katsuje (sp?)! I think any one of them could win. Hoping for one of the girls.

I keep forgetting to watch. I think I was watching another reality show on Wednesdy and forgot to change channels during commericals. I keep looking for repeats but never find it. I have to go to the PBS page and check out viewing times.

In Chicago, first run Cooking Under Fire is on at 8:00 Wednesday evenings -- opposite Dancing With the Stars. (TiVo one, watch the other.) Cooking Under Fire is repeated the following Saturday afternoon at 3:30 p.m.
