I remember this issue coming up with Iron Chef (the original, not the FN
rip-off) and other competitive reality cooking shows but no longer recall
how they said they mitigated it. I think they staggered the cooking or
made dished that were good for that, like caseroles and soups.

I recall the competitor that went second was at a significant
disadvantage, however they handled it.

I always thought that whoever went second, third or whatever would be at a
disadvantage because the judges (again whatever) would have already eaten
and, therefore, not as hungry. How can you enjoy something with no appetite?

[Michael Black]

Are they actually eating the dish, or are they tasting it? If you're just
tasting, your state of hunger won't change. There's a whole rigamarole
about wine tasting, precisely because you are tasting, not drinking, so
you want the flavor rather than the buzz, and they do things to clear out
the palate between tastes, so each one comes in fresh.

It varies judge to judge and dish to dish, but, on Iron Chef, if they
like it, they eat it. One time there was a big guy, some sort of sport
celebrity, and the chef made him an extra large portion of something he
remarked that he liked. I've always thought that the first chef should
throw in a whole lobster, big ribeye, some nachos, amazing dessert,
anything to stuff the judges. :)

Yeah, they just take a bite or two of everything. Even as small as some
of the entrees are, that's enough for the judges with leftovers.

Truly... I used to have an ongoing disagreement with my wife about Guy on
DDD. She'd point out whenever he took a big bite of food and I'd point out
that the camera always cut away before he actually swallowed.

[suzeeq]

Each show goes to 3 DDD but they don't film them all on one day. So even
if he ate the whole thing they're probably a day or more apart.

To clarify... my wife didn't understand why he wasn't heavier... which is
where I had to explain the not swallowing thing.

[suzeeq]

Ahhh well, he's pretty chunky. He may work out a lot and still get in a
few full meals.
