We’re now four episodes into Tournament Of Champions VII, and as per usual, I’m loving it. The talent is elite. The randomizer is somehow getting weirder. The chefs are doing things you can't try at home. The roughly thirty minute battles are just enough time to keep the momentum up but also tell a coherent story and show off some cool techniques. It’s all fantastic, except, of course, this season’s big twist which turned out to be a well-intentioned mess.
