Iv'e just been watching Licence to Grill

Is it typical in Canada to:
1) Cook all the food before you guests arrive
2) Guests wait outside and the minute everything is done they all enter at the same time
3) High five all guests as they enter your home
4) Immediately start eating
5) Say "all-right" as a statement

I was just wondering because it all seems a bit strange to me.

Yeah, that show's host is a bit annoying at times. He's a good cook though.

It is typical to do that in Canada if you are on a TV show about grilling.

What's more typical is that you sit around drinking beer with your buddies until someone says, "oh crap, it's getting dark. I guess we better put the steaks on."

Time to quit sucking on lemons or maybe it's normal.


On topic...

And they all drink the same beer and have a camera crew there and it ends up on TV as a commercial for a Molsons or Labatts.

I was confused too, I think he was referring to the Map that analogue SPRINKLES posted.

I quite like the show too, but it is weird, the food is fantastic, but why they feel the need to formulate a transparently false event every episode I fail to understand.

The worst show is Surreal Gourmet this is probably the worst cooking show on TV, the food is awful, it's not surreal, it's not original, it's just crap.

The food on Surreal Gourmet looks good, at least in the few episodes I've seen. However, I agree, the show is not that great. However, I don't really watch Licence to Grill either, because the guy is so annoying.

The ones I like are:

The Iron Chef <-- The Japanese one
Restaurant Makeover <-- Probably because I've been to madeover restaurants on the show (before and after).

The absolute worst show is Hell's Kitchen IMO.
