Agreed!
The main problem with fanfiction.net is that it's a bit akin to showing up at a big pot-luck dinner where about half the people who actually brought something can't cook, and the other half couldn't agree on a single theme, so you're stuck with a good three fourths of what's technically edible being lima bean ice cream or steak with a chocolate bar melted on top. Then, just when you've finally found a good hearty stew, and a loaf of bread to take a slice of to mop it up with, it turns out that the bread is actually angel food cake, and it's sitting there soaking in meat juices and you just want to cry, but suddenly you feel heartened because you see that somebody has brought a rather tasty fish dish you want to try, and then, just as you're arriving, you find that it's actually tofu, and you're allergic to tofu, and it's around then that you can't take it anymore and just go home to order out for pizza, but you know, next time you get an invitation, you're going to go again anyway, in the hopes that maybe you can find something to eat.
We need to find an eccentric Japanese man with a boatload of money to come to America, build a sort of stadium with two kitchens in it--a Cooking Arena, if you will--and get the best chefs in the country to compete there for personal glory (and probably a fat paycheck). Then of course we'll need a Canadian to watch and report the action on the floor, and a geeky Southern guy to commentate, and a rotating panel of eclectic and eccentric judges (that's us) to vote on the quality of the dishes served.
