It's Christmas vacation to all who are off from college or high school, meaning some quality hours clocked in front of our laptops or tv's, binge watching our favorite shows. Currently I've found my newest tv obsession, being a long time favorite, "Chopped" on Food Network. Food + Cut-throat competition + Amateur mistakes + Snarky comments from judges = a recipe for bringing out everyone's inner chef.
