Who asked for a culinary reality show with extra egos?
It seems that the morning show “Hoy” decided that the world needed another culinary competition, because what better way to start the day than watching celebrities burn tortillas while trying not to burn their reputations? Thus comes “Today I am the Chef”, the new reality where eight celebrity couples will demonstrate if their talent in the kitchen is as great as their love for the camera. And among them, surprise! There are Mario Bezares and Arath de la Torre, because clearly after “La Casa de los Famosos México” they needed more time together. Friendship? Chemistry? Or just contract? The world will know on May 26.
The dynamic duo (or so they say)
Mario Bezares, that comedian that we all remember from the 90s (or not, depending on your age), returns to the fray after his time on the confinement reality show. What better way to stay relevant than by cooking live? According to him, he loves cooking and reality TV, which is as strange a combination as putting chocolate on pizza. But hey, here we are. At his side, Arath de la Torre, who, according to unconfirmed sources (that is, himself), accepted the project only to work with Bezares again. How beautiful! Or maybe he was just the only one who said yes.
The production insists that this duo, calling itself “Team Marath” (because merging names is the most original thing they could think of), will bring a “unique” dynamic to the program. Translation: they expect them to fight or at least one to throw flour at the other. Meanwhile, the other participants include Raúl Araiza and Paul Stanley (the hosts of the show, because what better than to have an advantage), Alexis Ayala and his wife (because marital drama sells), and Andrea Escalona with Lambda García (who said romance doesn’t sell?).
In short: prepare to see burnt dishes, inflated egos and, if you’re lucky, the occasional hot oil accident. Because if there is something better than food, it is the show.
