The popularity of cooking shows is something that I completely understand.  Despite previous discussions around my dislike of cooking, even I can appreciate the artistry that goes into prepping an expertly-crafted dish under a strict time crunch, or the schadenfreude of watching everything fall to pieces.  So what would happen if you took one of TV’s most popular genres and made it so that — rather than simply collecting ingredients from a kitchen — competitors had to go out into the wilds and gather the freshest ingredients themselves?  That’s a question that Battle Chef Brigade seeks to answer, and the result is a damn fine meal of a game.
