I think Food Wars has become kind of boring and tedious.
To the extent where I am surprised they haven't made a joke about how our main character likes to waste people's time a lot. (wasting people's time is a theme in this show... "Here eat this... Ok that is the fake food... now here is the REAL food")
Yet to explain why it got tedious look no forward to the joke that the Head of the school goes naked whenever he eats food that is good enough.
He has done this basically every single episode for like 10+ episodes (a bit of an exaggeration as there have been one-two episode breaks). Any joke the show has they make sure to drive into the ground.
It also doesn't help that the show has fallen into the trap of just completely skipping the cooking process entirely. While Master Cooking Boy has done it, they also focused very closely on exactly what goes into making dishes a lot of the time as well (In fact a few contests were won ENTIRELY because of the process made to cook)... As well as varying things up a bit (heck the contests are a bit more interesting too).
At LEAST it hasn't fallen into the "Cooking Network" trap of forgetting entirely about the food.

I mean... Detective shows are seriously addicted to their Locked Room mysteries but I always find them entertaining.

Also bonus points to Food Wars for another freeken anime where they have a "He has no talent" character...
Who has supernatural effort skill that essentially makes him a Prodigy... as well as a mental quirk that makes him inhuman (he has no "I can't" mechanism).
"Ohh man, look down on yourself ordinary people!"... Yes because ordinary people have the ability to obsessively pour themselves over a single activity every single day for the rest of their lives... and you know... Ordinary people have been taught by the best of the best...
Damn it anime stick to elitism! you just can't do egalitarianism! Just say he is a New-Type
... Not every anime can be Legend of Galactic Heroes.
