Critical Response
Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a score of 67% while John Wheeler from LA Weekly wrote: Give Sergio Myers some credit — the man knows his reality TV. The creator of MTV’s proto-Laguna Beach show, Sorority Life, successfully transplants the look and style of the schlocky TV genre for his film, Jordon Saffron — Taste This!, a limp satire of egomaniacal celebrity chefs.
