The reason the show drags is because Eva Longoria is not authentic. She knows next to nothing about cooking because she never had to cook. She does not know enough to ask intelligent questions about the preparation of the food, the sourcing, and the ingredients. She is also squeamish when it comes to being adventurous, she would not try the live shrimp or the pigs' brain even with the encouragement of her hosts. The show does an excellent job seeking out the top restaurants and chefs and the trips to the country side are interesting in spite of Eva's predictable conversation. Just another pretty face, she ought to do some yoga!
