Restaurants on the Edge (2019–2020)
6/10
Confused premise hosted by Instagram "experts"
10 May 2020
I really wanted to like this show, it has all my favorite things food, travel, and design. It's like they combined Anthony Bourdain's food/travel shows and Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmare, then they took away the charismatic and dynamic host and replaced them with Instagram famous people. They even reference Instagram a lot.

Given it's promise and budget it's obvious it's meant to speak to people who love shows like this, who love to learn about what's out there. But instead we end up listening to the hosts go on and on about how they love everything and how they've never had flavored honey before and then they have to describe how the honey is created and how they feel about that too. When they visit an expert they show 5-10 seconds of what the expert says, and then spend a minute or two flashing to the host repeat what they were told and how they felt about it. And let me assure you, they LOVE everything! And everything comes as a shock to them... did you know Ohana means family?!? I mean because it came as a shock to the hosts but then they repeated it again, and again.

I did end up watching the rest of the shows, but not or the show itself. I was interested in some of the experts they met and I wish we could have heard more and explored more of their businesses.
