The show's first season has received generally poor feedback from critics,[4][3] with the Washington Post's Sonia Rao calling it "the worst food show on Netflix". However, Bealum's performance was positively reviewed by Rao as "the one redeeming quality". The program was originally shot as a web series, so the episodes are kept short.[5][6]
The show was removed from Netflix in June 2021.[7]
