Criticism

[edit]

Before its premiere, the choice of Érick Jacquin to present the TV show was criticized by Danielle Dahoui, chef and presenter of the fourth season of Hell's Kitchen: Cozinha sob Pressão. In an interview to UOL, she criticized Jacquin's attitude and what he represents: "But how does a person [...] who has millions of labour lawsuits, will present a show like this?"[7]

Writing to Observatório da Televisão, Endrigo Annyston said that the "main problem of Pesadelo na Cozinha is being fake in excess [...] it doesn't show the truth. If the TV shows Casos de Família and João Kléber Show raise doubts about the veracity of the cases presented, the reality show appears to be extremely rehearsed. [...] This is common in televisive attractions, not everything is improvised. The problem is to make the acting so obvious."[8]

Two years after the airing of Hero's Burger episode, chef Marco Ungaro stated in an interview that his participation was rigged. According to him, Band didn't know, but the purpose of his participation was to boost the image of the burger shop and, to do that, the restaurant team made a deal to show a negative side of Marco, so his participation wouldn't affect the show.[9][10]
