One of my favorite French TV shows besides the reruns of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple en français, is Un Dîner Presque Parfait (translation : an Almost-perfect Dinner), which for those of you who live in France is on M6.
Basically, it is a game show with 5 contestants and all of the contestants come from the same city but they do not know each other. On Monday is the first contestant who cooks for the other 4 and on Tuesday is another one for 4 (etc.) each creates their own menus, their own activities and their own table settings. Each day the contestant who served an aperatif, appetizer, dinner and dessert is graded on the food, the atmosphere and the decorations and on Friday the winner is revealed.
Here is a sample video from La Rochelle en français :
Every single time I watch the show, I always think about my perfect menu. Will it be a Northern Kentucky menu (Skyline Chili, goetta, and Graeters)? or will it be a Turkish American inspired ( hamburgers, baklava, and lentil soup? I have decided that some day I am going to try out for the show and see if I have a chance at the 1000 euros prize!
Would you do Un Dîner Presque Parfait if you had the chance?
