American Chef Idol

American Chef Idol is a fictional TV show seen in Muffy's daydream in "What's Cooking?". It features Ming Tsai in the role of Simon Cowell, who criticized Muffy about her quiche. The second judge is far more encouraging. It is a parody of American Idol and also parodies the conventions of reality-cooking shows, particularly those hosted by Gordon Ramsay, known for his often harsh on-air personality, and also aired on FOX, the same network as American Idol.
