* LoopholeAbuse: In the BonusRound, Quinoa was called as the ingredient. Rather than looking for Quinoa next to say, Rice and Barley, a contestant put it in a microwaveable quinoa bowl and it was counted as valid.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: One episode featured a contestant for who English was her second language. A translator was present for the BonusRound as one always parses their native language quicker than their second language.

One episode featured a contestant for who English was her second language. A translator was present for the BonusRound as one always parses their native language quicker than their second language.
** The BonusRound also has a loophole - You have to put an ingredient into the cart. ''But''! You don't need to be overly specific and can actually put something that contains ingredient - preferably as a primary ingredient. For example, the question called for Quinoa. A contestant placed in a microwavable Quinoa bowl and it was counted as valid.

** In 2000, Food Network started the "Tournament of Champions," where instead of dice from "Let it Roll," a five-reel "Randomizer" spun to determine the dish for each round (what protein, vegetable and piece of kitchen equipment had to be used, what kind of dish needed to be cooked and how much time you had for the dish were five variables the Randomizer determined).

Added example(s) Obvious Rule Patch (if someone wants to call it Nerf or Balance Buff feel free; this is where I figured was the best spot was for the example)

Added DiffLines:

* ObviousRulePatch: Aisle 6 of Flavortown Market is largely devoted to the items in a grocery store an adult human simply would not and should not eat under any circumstances, such as detergent and pet food, so anytime Aisle 6 was forced to be used, such as in the "One Ingredient Per Aisle" game, inevitably every chef would be steered directly into the only thing you could reasonably try to use for cooking, baby food. When the market was remodeled, Aisle 6 acquired more foods that someone could actually cook with... but to preserve the difficulty of the aisle, it became the home of the 'International Mystery' section, with labels in non-English languages.

* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: In, “The Ol’ Switcheroo”, manly-man cowboy Lenny says that grilling a steak well done “makes the carcinogens come out”. Carcinogens are ''cancer-causing compounds.'' [[LampshadeHanging Richard just repeats the word flatly.]]
* BirthdayEpisode: "Craziest Day in Flavortown" focused on the 25th birthday of Guy's son Hunter. The chefs had to cook him a birthday dinner in the second round, Creator/LeeMajors brought out a cake (and required the chefs to eat a piece before they could start cooking), and Music/{{Poison}} lead singer Bret Michaels gave him a framed plaque that the band received for selling 32 million albums.
