8. Food safety controversy

In one episode, Meghan is seen storing raw chicken in her fridge without a container—just drumsticks sitting on the racks. Hello, salmonella! The internet called this disgusting and unhygienic, and we can’t say we disagree. Meghan did reveal eventually that the chicken was parboiled, but people were still grossed out.

9. The fake house it was filmed in

Some shows on Netflix are filmed in a house that isn’t their own, which is understandable, especially for people who want their privacy and don’t want a full crew in their homes. However, Meghan drew attention to this several times throughout her show, making comments like “This isn’t my house” or “This isn’t my kitchen.”

10. Many chefs turned down the opportunity to be on the show

Despite a chance to be promoted on Netflix, many chefs decided to turn down the opportunity to guest star. Michelin-starred Chef Jameson, who had previously cooked for King Charles, politely declined because he thought it would look fake and forced. After seeing the show air, he told GB News it felt “painful to watch” and even followed up on the comment.
