If you thought the whole series would just be cook-offs going in, you were probably stunned to see a young girl get figuratively fondled by a squid she was eating among other things. The first episode probably repulsed a lot of people, and with good reason. ![]() Food Whores, as I and many others have kindly taken to calling it, is a show that shouldn’t work.
