In Praise of Food Network

[Sir Clinksalot]

What is your favorite?

 

I have tried to include most of the more popular shows.

[CoasterCrazy]

My top three favorite shows on Food Network are $40 a Day, Good Eats, and Emeril Live.

[Hattuchili]

Is it right, do you have a food channel there? That sounds nice. I like it to watch somebody cooking some good stuff. We also have food shows, but only a few each day on different TV channels.

Iron Chef (original). Nothing like making Chefs look like superheroes.

 

ALLIEZ CUISINE!!!!!

[SharkTums]

Soeren,

 

Of course we have a Food Network in the US, look at how fat we all are!

Okay,

you have all these restaurants like McDonalds, Burger King, Pizza Hut....! But we also have this here. The last time I visited my aunt in Chicago, we ate a lot of raw vegetables. It is not my thing, because I don´t like raw brokkoli. :scared:

I think there is a big "fitness wave" in the US!??

Elissa, fat, never (pokes her tummy pudge like Pop N Fresh)

 

 

Contrary to popular belief Hattuchili, not all Americans eat fast food. Myself, I like to cook and bake. I find it a therapeutic respite from the daily grind that is my job......That, and the chicks dig my pies

OOH... tough vote. I love "Unwrapped"... It is always fascinating. That said, however, I worship Rachel Ray and love all three of her shows!

I dont said that all americans eat fast food. I said you all have these restaurants, but we also have them. My aunt there in Chicago is a native american and she and here familie don´t eat so many fast food, but a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables. I think the most people there eats very healthy stuff.

Alton Brown is my personal favorite. So much good info, but ya gotta love Rachel Ray MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

[ChrisZer0]

Alton makes me laugh...You also learn alot from him as well. I grew tired of Bobby Filet for the fact he's the same broken record.

[kenshinmac]

I love Good Eats... It is a great combination of sensible recipes, interesting facts and science.

 

Well then there is the fact that Alton is a well known Mac user...

 

Seriously though his show is just a great source of information whether you use it or not and his tips are really useful.

[kenshinmac]

Well normally I wouldn't do this but I think tonights Good Eats must have been Elissa's favorite... It was the nut episode and it had squirrels. We all have seen the posts about her weakness for rodents.

[Sir Clinksalot]

I vote for Good Eats, but there's another show that they air occasionally that fascinates me with Anthony Bordain called "A Cook's Tour." Basically it's him wandering around a city just eating wherever (and sometimes whatever) he comes across. It sounds odd, and believe me when I say it is extremely odd.

 

I've read portions of his book, and it shows that he ate a LOT of very disgusting things (described in massive detail) that would never be shown. Still, fascinating stuff.

[Token Yankee Guy]

Unwrapped all the way. I love that show!

[disneygurlz2s]

Did anyone else watch "Paula Deen's Wedding?" I don't know that I have ever really watched her show, but I had seen her on the Thanksgiving special with all the chefs. Wow.. She is really a classy, southern lady and her wedding was so beautiful and tasteful and SOUTHERN. Now, I am watching her show, and the other day she did this tribute to Elvis with a Cheeseburger Meatloaf and these new potatoes coated in cornflakes....mmmm

[Meteornotes]

^Paula Dean scares the living hell out of me! I think she speedlines a bag of sugar into her body before each taping. I thought my cat had too much energy...but I will give her some positive points if she was performing a tribute to Elvis. Everyone's home should have a shrine to Elvis...

 

A Cook's Tour is AWESOME. You gotta love a show where the host wanders around foriegn nations drinking and eating random bizarre things. Comedy classic.

I love watching Unwrapped. I even have the callander :? I love cooking thats why.

[FlyingScooter]

I hate cooking programs... they make me hungry! really hungry... lol...

[superfanthony]

I like $40 A Day because:

1) I am broke

2) Rachel Ray = Easy on the eyes

 

 

:shock:

[FlyingScooter]

^ on second thought, I might start watching them ...

she could make me pie anyday.

[ChrisFL]

Any show with Rachael Ray in it, even if she's a lot older than me, she's still hot.

 

That FHM shoot was strange though, what happened to regular sexy outfits?
