The mud fight of the chefs reveals how empty the culture of admiration for them is
Network 13 barely managed to clear the plates and glasses of "The Next Restaurant", and is already putting up a format that on the face of it looks cheaper and simpler: "Chef changes", like "Mom replaces" only with restaurants, which is unnecessary as it sounds.
No winners, no losers, i.e .: except the spectators.
Appetite for everyone

A Changing Chef |
Yaron Shalev: "I can not work like this" (Network 13)
The most flightless solution of all of the commercial channels for Prime Time is another show about chefs.
Switching there, changing format, but it's still meager content, mixed with arrogance and endless self-importance, meaningless rhetoric and close-ups of a salad.
In most cases it is nothing more than a screensaver.
Network 13 has barely managed to clear the plates and glasses of "The Next Restaurant", and is already putting up a format that on the face of it looks cheaper and simpler: "Chef changes", like "Mom replaces" only with restaurants, which is unnecessary as it sounds: two celebrity chefs swap restaurants For one day, deploy their clichéd worldview ("Today's suffering is tomorrow's happiness"), tower over each other separately and then exchange insulting hugs and compliments when they are together.
No winners, no losers, i.e .: except the spectators.
Appetite for everyone.

It's mediocre, casual, casual and uninvested, and also very tedious - but to its credit it is at least not licked in contrast to the genre, and perhaps even undermining: the chefs' mud battle reveals how empty the culture of admiration for them is.
The first program alternated between Moshe Segev (from the Segev Art restaurant, which according to reports has been closed for half a year, which may indicate the time the program has been waiting on the shelf), and Yaron Shalev (Toto).
Despite the smiles, the mutual contempt between the two is immense and completely visible, and touches on a range of issues - prices, style, work method and even hygiene.
While each speaks highly of values and excellence, the other points one by one to significant flaws in his restaurant.
What do you know?
It turns out that even dishes that cost 220 shekels are far from perfect.
(On the sidelines, it is worth mentioning that channels that broadcast programs that deal with restaurants that the majority of the public cannot afford to eat are raised in their public office to appeal to a rich and limited stratum in a time of widespread economic crisis).
At least Segev is humble.

Segev, at least in his television character, still shows relative humility.
His cordial figure covers up the flaws hurled at his restaurant, and he clearly likes to work with people and talk to diners.
Shalev's performance, however, is particularly embarrassing and alienating.
He does not stop throwing venomous criticism, scolding his subordinates and shouting, and further presents some ideology of so-called perfectionism behind this pathetic management style - not to mention the pride in copy prices per serving, in a restaurant that according to the plan did not even work with gloves in years of global epidemic.
Maybe it's all a camera show, but who wants to eat where it's the culture in which it's run?
Why are there still people in Israel in 2022 who are convinced that this is what perfectionism looks like?
And so she goes through an hour or so of throwing mud (and some spices).
Even if it is possible to derive some pleasure from the mutual condescension of people who are very critical and very proud of their work, it is difficult to say that they leave a "changing chef" with any added value, or good taste in the mouth.
