Kan 11 specialize in food programs. One of them actually comes with a pretty good idea, when chef Aner Ben Raphael Forman hosts a famous personal conversation in "A Meal of Life" and builds a multi-course meal around his character. He chooses the best ingredients: fresh fish from the sea, lamb chops and bubbly beans that look amazing. The problem is that he drowns them all in sauce, that to call it sweet would be an understatement. And I'm talking about the soul talk that the Spanish format requires.

Last night he invited rapper Subliminal to a purposeful display of culinary abilities to cook him an appetizer that characterizes his personality, another one that represents a station in his life - and another that gives a taste of his father's house.
There is no doubt that preparing a culinary ID card is a piece. The moments of thinking about the dishes themselves are also interesting - after meeting two of his lovely sous chef and brainstorming, unique dishes are born. The question of what happens after the chef's explanation and the bite taken by the guest.

When Chef Foreman, instead of preparing something to eat, starts eating his head in a pseudo-psychological personal conversation, sprinkling tons of schmaltz and flattery on each dish, it loses its flavor a bit. And if that's not enough, the slow soul talk is accompanied by even slower shots of raw materials that meet with the chef's cuts and the fall of the fish onto a flour table.

And it could be yesterday's episode. For a lighthearted pop artist whose life story doesn't really invite the emptying of gallons of emotion, the experience itself is hard to digest. Maybe with other guests inviting a deeper conversation like Evgenia Dudina or Ayelet Shaked later in the season, it will feel more fine.
