I put off watching this show because it seemed weird. But one day when watching Chopped, (which I love more than all other cooking competitions) I didn't feel like changing the channel to find something else. I watched & was surprised. It's not the typical cooking show. Don't expect to get any tips or learn anything. It's really a Comedy meets Cooking show.........It's QUIRKY. Titus Burgess steals the show. I don't think I've ever watched anything with him in it but now I find something. And they did a smart move putting after Chopped. T he Episode I watched had Andrew Zimmern as a guest, I love him.
I was so impressed with the creativity of the chefs in this show. To be able to come up with the meals they created given the pantries they had and the ingredients that kept diminishing was amazing. I also loved all the judges and knew most of them and really respect their opinions. What ruined the show for me was the ridiculous host. I admit I am totally unfamiliar with him, but I thought a show like this with such creativity of chefs and such esteemed judges deserved more than an overacting joke of a character for a host. I found him intolerable. The only reason I stuck with it was because of the talent of the chefs they had on the show. They really amazed me every week. And now we have one week left. I'm anxious to see who wins but all that are left are definitely worthy. I would love to see this come back for another season with a more serious host. I found this guy to be an insult to the integrity of the show.

A fun family show! "Last Bite Hotel" has been a kooky, entertaining spin on typical food competition shows. Our whole family has enjoyed sitting & watching what the chefs come up with while also bringing up conversations about the different props on set, the different chefs and of course, Tituss and his "Igor-esque-ness."
This is meant to be a FUN competition, allowing the chefs an opportunity to think critically, be creative, compete for $25k while allowing families a fun & entertaining seasonal show. Not everything in life needs to be taken seriously and this show is one outlet our family enjoys all together. (Even when we don't agree with who gets sent to room 13!)

I hope that they decide to renew this show. It's fantastic. The host is weird but perfect. I love the setting in the old looking hotel. I hope that future chefs are unaware of how tough it is. I want to see more of this hotel.
It would be nice if one of the dinners was to a group of ordinary people (not chefs) also a blind tasting where the samplers of the meal, so that the kitchen chefs cannot be matched with the meal... Also the $25,000 prize is a bit low. I think that $50.000 would be better.
More of the traveling to the hotel would be fun. Maybe a hike into the surrounding woods to find herbs would be fun.
Keep them coming.

Tituss absolutely KILLS IT as host!! I was sorry I found this after spooky season but so glad I found it at all. Tituss is absolutely hilarious and adorable as the host. I love the unique twists to a cooking competition and greatly appreciate the smaller group of chefs. This is an absolute must watch. There had better be 20 more seasons to come as well but only if Tituss hosts them all! I wish the keys had been explained at the beginning of the show though. I had to do some internet sleuthing to figure out what they meant and that was a little annoying. I wish there were more episodes also but understand and simultaneously appreciate the short season.
I lived Iron Chef, both the original and American versions, but was always put off by the fakery of the "chairman." Same here, with a show set ona. Fake hotel with a fake proprietor (an otherwise plesant Titus Burgess) who drips with fake drama.
It's embarrassing to the caliber of chefs on the show, including Top Chef and Food Network albums. The premise of the show- limited ingredients and difficult challenges- is fun. But why does FoodNW treat us like we need the fakery? We dont.
I thought Guy's Grocery Games was a bit over-the-top but at least Guy's is sincere and seemingly unscripted. Titus is too dramatic and fake. I'll bet he could be a normal host with a great, real personality!

I loved the show, but Tituss made it almost too bad to watch. His antics were too over the top and detrimental to the show. Just look at Alex' facial expressions.... she knew. I would hope that any further seasons would not be so stupid. He made it almost comedic, which is NOT a thing I want to see on a cooking show. He needs to do better. He may be a comedian, but cooking competitions are serious business and not a place to be an over-the-top comedic arena. Take that other places. It does not belong here. Once again, PLEASE be better in the next season, IF there is one. Just my 2cents on this ... I know I am not the majority.
So, the producers are out of real ideas. They've reached a point where they throw darts at a board with words and make a show from whatever words they hit. This is officially garbage. A waste of time and effort.
Why is this happening? Cooking stations are supposed to teach people how to cook. Do they even have shows like that anymore? A show where I can learn some techniques, some flavor profiles. Some recipes perhaps?
But no. All we get are idiotic crap like thus where we don't even get recipes to try. I'd never bother making a pickled egg salad or a picked egg dusted chicken wing. That's just gross.
