...TV would be downright tasteless without the on-air chefs. The popular Docchi no Ryori Show will return for its eighth season April 14 at 9 p.m. on NTV.
But wait, could they be about to launch an exciting and satisfying new trend to trim the tarento from the TV menu? In its new revamped edition, the show will feature only Tsuyoshi Kusanagi and three tarento. The other seven seats will be assigned to members of the public who survive the show's weekly auditions.

for details if you want to substitute your vicarious TV nibbling with a live studio experience. Besides the usual info, they also want to know if you have any special gastronomical talents or skills that would add to the show. Hold any slurping or sushi-chomping records? If so, sounds like you will have an edge on the competition. The danger here I suppose is that you could wake up one morning and discover you too have become a tarento.
