Food Network
Now this is a fine television station. There some seriously good shows. Iron Chef America, Throwdown, Good Eats, and Dinner: Impossible are among my favorite. The hosts are also fantastic, with one glaring exception. Alton Brown, Bobby Flay, Tyler Florence, and Paula Dean are true professionals, but I click off whenever Rachael Ray is on.
Anybody else love this station? |

And I think Rachel Ray is one of the most annoying people on the planet. My wife loves to watch her show. I'd rather chuck the remote at the screen. |

Completely agree about AB and Rachael Ray. The others I don't feel all that strongly about. I kind of like watching Bobby Flay, but, despite knowing very little about the guy, I always get the feeling that he would be a complete jerk in person. Good Eats is one of the 2 or 3 shows that I DVR. It sometimes picks up the last 10 or 20 seconds of Ms. Ray, which is still too much of her. |
I like Alton Brown, and Iron Chef. Had a small crush on Tyler Florence. that Italian girl, Giada (?) is gorgeous. Bobby Flay is annoying.
Maybe Robert Rodriguez should get his own show. Warning: The F-bomb appears once in both of these videos. Sin City Breakfast Tacos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z27W-JZHjC8 Puerco Pibil http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cp35Sqr4zwE Sorry, I don't have time to look up how to embed videos. |
Rachel Ray was ok in FHM magazine.

I lost all respect for Rachel Ray when I was watching some show where she traveled the country eating as cheaply as possible. She would add up the bill including tip at the end of the show and proudly take credit for some of the worst tipping I've ever seen.

Giada has a huge head and the way her mouth moves annoys me. Plus large boobs on a chick that appears to be 4'9" isn't attractive to me.
The best shows on the Network are as follows: 1. Iron Chef Japan (although they don't show it anymore) 2. Iron Chef America 3. Barefoot Contessa (Ina makes easy amazing food) 4. Boy Meets Grill (I hate the Throwdown, feel bad for the other people) 5. Good Eats |

Most successful people on TV have huge heads. This is true. I cannot stand RRay. Really and truly one of the most annoying persons I have ever seen on TV, regardless of how big her head is. |
Rachel Ray was not bad about 5 years ago...then she became a bigger star and her mouth got bigger, her voice got louder and she got more annoying. Emeril is also a disaster. Seriously, how did they give this guy a network sitcom? He isn't funny on his own cooking show, did they really think that he would transform to a comedic genius in that kind of setting. Brutal.

Bobby Flay is OK. I like Alton Brown a lot. The "celebrity chef" that I can't stand is Gordon Ramsay although I don't believe he is on the food network. |
Do you guys really watch cooking shows? What's the appeal?
I'd rather watch sports. |
I am surprised to see so many replies to this thread. I thought I was one of very few men who watch that channel. I love it. I never knew there were so many ways you could BAM a chicken.
Agree on all critiques of Rachael Ray. A couple of years ago I bought one of her cooking books called Recipes for Guys. It was trash. Her stupid recipes were things like cutting a hot dog into quarters and serving it on a hamburger bun. |
