In the Hulu show, Best In Dough, the pizza ovens are heated to the perfect temperature and the cooks are ready to bake up a perfect pie. For host, Wells Adams, this Hulu cooking competition is different from other shows. Although he might not be tossing his cooking skills onto the fire, he has revealed a secret to why this Hulu show is so engaging.

From his time as the bartender in Bachelor in Paradise to his successful appearance Worst Cooks in America, Wells Adams is not afraid to step into the kitchen. Even if his pizza skills might not be as celebrated as Daniele Uditi, the affable television personality knows that a great meal is the sum of its parts. From a dash of humor to a sprinkle of fun, that a good time in the kitchen is imperative to a great meal.

During a conversation with FoodSided, Adams commented that he does not like a common theme in food competitions. For him, the mean-spirited nature, where chefs can berate each other and judges put people down is not fun for him. Just like too much salt can make a recipe inedible, too much negativity can leave a bad taste in people’s mouth.

For Adams, Best in Dough is about having a “pizza party.” It is mean to be fun and happy. The true secret to this Hulu show is that it has “heart.”

The true secret to the positive show is that “the food is positive, fun, fresh and amazing.” It separates itself from other cooking competitions because of the heart and love that goes into it.

While viewers can laugh at the unusual flavor combinations, ingredients and slight absurdity of the challenges, the reality is that people want to laugh and have fun in the moment. This show is about laughing with people and through the experience but not laughing at them.

As everyone watches Best in Dough, the biggest takeaway might be that pizza can bring people together. It might not be out of the box challenge, a slice of familiar or just an easy dinner option. No matter the reason, many people, including Wells Adams, are hoping to see another Best in Dough season rise again.
