Fair play to the judge. Seems very wasteful, particularly as it's probably bloody good food that I know I'd have at least tried if I was part of the crew.

Seems really odd... is this some sort of viral PSA? Almost seems staged cuz it doesn't make any sense. When you hear about cooking shows, the standard is that the crew/staff hover around for the "go signal" that it is good to eat the stuff that has been cooked. This just doesn't make sense.

Yup: one quick google search later and it is an ad for food rescue:

For a good cause, but it did seems a bit odd/staged.

I'd hardly call that losing it. Also, it seems pretty justified.

We've been tricked into saving food! In a strange and ineffective way...

Edit: I think the viral video would have worked better if a supposed stage-hand would have made a 'covert' video how the judge and the rest are (pretending) wasteful dicks, throwing all the food away and laughing at the starving stage hands. Would have spread better and would have been more convincing.

Fake *viral.

Viral or not he has a valid point. Having been homeless at a time in my life, I make a point not to ever waste food any more if I can help it.

Your viralometer is strong.

First of all i'm not somehow in 'favor' of wasting food... nor is anyone... but this does seem like a very silly PSA...

It isn't like he is making a case against over-consumption... or taking food from someone who really needs it... it seems MUCH more like he is just really pissed off that it is HIS food going into the garbage...

Like I said in my first comment... if you've seen ANY behind-the-scenes stuff about cooking shows, it was just clear this didn't make any sense whatsoever. The staff on those shows are like fucking vultures. It's like they don't pay for food outside of work or something.

here is the full version, showing that it is just viral campaign fodder

Has no one laughed at the term "food stylist" yet? LOL

Only watched it because I thought it said Australian Masterchief.

Respect.

Do keep in mind that video production is a very resource consuming and thus a very expensive environment. The crew was probably too comfortable with the idea of wasting food away.

The station I work at probably eats up enough electricity to power a whole residential block in a day, and use enough gaffer's tapes to go around the earth in a week.

Justified? If it were real, I'd think the guy was a grade-A piece of shit. It's not acceptable to talk to someone with that kind of disrespect, especially over something like this.

Just goes on to confirm that seemingly every chef on TV has some sort of anger management issue. It'd be different if the food was fresh out of the oven or just finished prepared, but 30 minutes sitting uncovered on a plate.....depends on what it is at that point.

Think it'd be a pretty good idea not to have your crew eating food that might have them shitting down their leg in the middle of shooting.

Even if it's fake......I don't much care for the attitude of a lot of the chefs on TV. Enough so that I don't watch the majority of those shows...it might make good television having high strung people on their shows but not my cup of tea.

if you're worried about getting poisoned from food that's been sitting out for 30 minutes you're probably too big of a wuss to be eating in the first place.

Food that we don't know what it is....if it's dairy based or seafood. You have an hour recommended by the FDA if it's a hot room (90F), considering they would presumably be using bright hot lights that food is half way to being bad at the admitted 30 minutes. Assuming the 30 minute estimation is even accurate. So if keeping my guts at peace makes me too big of a wuss to eat.....I can accept that. Reminds me of people who are on well water that smells like rotten eggs and they wonder why you won't drink it.

wow, even the fda thinks you're a wuss. have you seriously never been to a barbecue or a potluck? 30 minutes is nothing. live a little.
