WATCH: The UK Version of The Taste Soldiers On Despite That Nigella Drug Thing

Things are a bit different in the UK from how they are in America. For one, their version of The Taste, airing on January 7th on Channel 4, only has three judges (Anthony Bourdain, Nigella Lawson, and Ludo Lefebvre).

(RIP Brian “Cock of the Walk” Malarkey.)

For another — and we hope hope hope they bring this format over to the US — the competition takes place in an actual kitchen, not some Terrordome stadium.

But here’s a similarity between the US and the UK: neither of them really care that Nigella did cocaine less than ten times in her entire life, because hey, the show’s still on and the promo below still calls her a “culinary god.”
