29. Mystery Diners
The Food Network has a lot of great shows, but ‘Mystery Diners’, a series where restaurant owners contact Charles Stiles to set up a sting operation to out bad employees, takes the cake as an idea that may have been better left in the production boardroom. Most of the time, the “bad employees” are hired actors, paid on the premise of signing non-disclosure agreements. Radar Online even went as far as to pinpoint a character called “Chef Dave” from The Grove Bar in Arizona, who was actually an actor named David Gilbert, the owner of his own production studio. If that doesn’t tell you how fake the show is, nothing will.
