Man vs Food et al

One of the things that blows about the "Genial Schlubby Guy Goes around the Country to Find Great and Outrageous Food" genre of tv shows that have flooded the Food Network and Travel Channel et al is the inevitable visit to the kitchen, where the dude has to completely fucking go over the top with his effusive praise. The predicable swooning is cringe-worthy - we get it, Peter Luger's steak is great. Are you really that surprised? But no, we hafta get a falling down, gasping in shock "this is THE BEST ___________ EVER!!!!!!!" And even worse is that a lot of the cooks are black, so then incredibly white dude always feels the need to be "down homey" while over-effusing; I'm always surprised when they stop just short of "oooooh, make you wanna slap yo' mama, Junebug!!!!" Fucking hell.

I'd like a more toned down show; maybe something called The Mildly Impressed Guy.

Cook: So, how do you like THAT??!
Me: Pretty good.
Cook: "Pretty good"?!?!
Me: Well, really good. Was a really good burger.
Cook: Oh.
Me: So. Well, I gotta run.
Cook: I...I'm sorry, I...
Me: hey hey, it's cool. Was a really good burger. Don't worry about it. Was fine.
Cook: "Fine."
Me: Now Loni Anderson...THAT was a good-lookin woman, right? Am I right?....okay, I'm out.
