The answer is both yes and no. During a Q&A session on a Good Eats DVD, Alton Brown explained that television time is so expensive that if food preparation takes more than two minutes, then the food will be prepared in advance. This means that the steak thrown up on the grill for seven minutes might not be the same steak taken off the grill, and it most certainly won't be prepared by the host, since the shows have chefs who work in the background, preparing the food so it'll be ready when needed.

The shows are real in the sense that the food is actual food that has been cooked, but they are fake in that they're television shows and everything on television is scripted, staged, and edited for the best presentation.

Yes!! How do you think someone who on camera says they have never cooked something before know that they only have 1 hour to cook and it takes 2-3 hours to braise they protein they were given so they get a pressure cooker of which they have never used. Or how about two cooks go head to head and have to make lemon meringue pie but one on camera says they have no experience baking and have never made pie before yet make an amazing looking pie. This show should be called Top Culinary student because that is what the show is.
