I would have been happier had the producers better informed the contestants of the nature of resources available...fire pits, utensils, etc., but the "chefs' surprised me by being unable to adjust their planning and menu choices to potential circumstances.

Obviously, several of them were simply "strangers in a strange land". None of the chefs seemed to really consider any of the standard dishes for outdoor prep, some examples of which the judges would have been hard put to let their taste buds get in the way of expectations "high-falutin'" styles and cuisine.

I must admit, had I been called upon for a similar challnge, I'd have been left looking for skewers at the market, suitable cuts of beef or lamb (or even pork), grilled veggies and imaginative approaches to a salad. Other than perhaps shrimp (and that grilled), I can't imagine choosing fish (even though the a couple of the fish dishes emerged well).

Sadly, no "Dutch Oven" biscuits.....(and no real attempt at kabobs, an almost automatic choice to me).
