Who watches the Food Network?

[T Park]

A friend of mine this past summer got me, not hooked on it, but actually watching it from time to time.


Do you have a favorite personality??

I honestly dont NOT like anyone, they all seem pretty cool.


Some of my favorite shows are Good Eats, Unwrapped, Chef America, and Emril.


Who all your favorites?

[lilmads]

I <3 the food network!!
I just don't watch it that much anymoreee
Emeril's the best... Rachel Ray's annoying... Tyler's pretty... the rest are comme ci comme ca...

I made these truffle brownies that they showed once and they were amazinggg:)

[T Park]

Rachel Ray's annoying

curse thy tounge.

[Taco]

Rachel Ray's annoying...


Mrs Taco Loves Rachel Ray

I like the Iron Chef

[Buddy Holly]

Good Eats, Unwrapped, Iron Chef America, Everyday Italian.

She owns every other female on the Food Network.

[samikeyp]

Giada....yum.

I like Unwrapped, Iron Chef and Good Eats as well.

[SpursWoman]

I like the Iron Chef


They make the most God-awful looking shit, though. :vomit :lmao

[T Park]

Iron Chef America.

Thats kinda cool.

The food they make though is quite gross looking.

There was one asian woman, who NEVER said she liked ANYTHING.

I was thinking, damn, What DOES make you happy!??! :lol

[spurs=bling]

They make the most God-awful looking shit, though. :vomit :lmao

tell me about it


i like to watch Bobby Flay

[SpursWoman]

There's an Iron Chef America now? Do they make *normal* sounding food that doesn't look like it was regurgitated from a whale's intestines? :lol

[T Park]

They have to make a whole course of meals out of 1 ingredient.

Usually its Turkey,
Lobster, hamburger.


Its quite interesting.


The whole Tar Tar thing they can shove up their butts.

[lilmads]

^:lol

Iron Chef America is pretty good:)

[Guru of Nothing]

They make the most God-awful looking shit, though. :vomit :lmao

That would be the episode where the guy made an ice cream with fish.

[ALVAREZ6]

Isn't it ironic that T Park watches the Food Network????

[spurs=bling]

EWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that is nastyhttp://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/wuerg/vomit-smiley-003.gif

I really loved the Original Iron Chef better than Iron Chef America. There was something fun about the show being in Chinese or Japanese but being dubbed over badly in English. It ROCKED! :elephant

Hey Ya'll...this is my favorite show. I watch all the shows, no matter who is hosting, as long as they are actually making food. I don't watch the ones where they show different restaurants or cooking festivals.

i watched two shows last year, one is where Bobby Flay was in SA, and another one was when SA was hosting the NCAA Basketball.

[dawn]

Paula Deen is Awesome. I remember I used to watch How to Boil Water about 4 years ago and they had this goofy comedian want to be guy and a pro chef on it. He was so bad it made it funny.

On Foodnetwork and Travel channel I love to watch the Pro Cooking Contest with the Sugar Statues. The best is watching those guys transport them to the table and there is always one team who drops the damn thing and it crumbles. I so wait for that moment.

I am sad I know people, but I am the same girl who loves Nascar, Wrestling, and Mystery Science Theater 3000! Enough said! :blah

[Samr]

Iron Chef is great and Rachel Ray is hot, even though her voice would get annoying. Just turn up the music and stick a sock in her mouth.

Iron Chef is the only one I will watch, however. I just love seeing them chopping live shit up. I've also been hopeing and praying that one day the secret ingredient is electric eel but they don't tell them that. HEY!

[EmerilLagasse]

I <3 the food network!!

Emeril's the best...

BAM!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Who's this guy (I think he's on Food Network) who apparently makes really easy meals on the cheap for people that can't cook worth a damn?

I need to start eating better and I just can't remember who this guy is.

[Jekka]

Mario Batali owns everyone on the Food Network.

[MannyIsGod]

That shit is all Jess watches. I like Iron Chef myself.

Paula is the best! I actually went to her restaurant a couple of years ago as I passed through Savannah on the way to Charleston. I didn't get to see Paula, though. She makes some amazing stuff. I have tried quite a few of her recipes.

I also like the "Almost Homemade" stuff that Sandra Lee makes because it's so simple and easy to make, but the things I have tried have been delicious.

Tyler Florence? "How to Boil Water". That girl on there is hilarious, she's soooo kitchen-challenged. :lol

[valluco]

Both Iron Chef shows are good and I love me some Rachel.

[easjer]

Paula Deen might as well slather herself in butter. Her stuff may be good but it'll give you a heart attack after three bites. Dear Lord! Nothing but full fat stuff.

Did you see the Krispy Kreme bread pudding with rum sauce? It's made of 24 chocolate iced and glazed Krispy Kreme's and there is a POUND of powdered sugar in the sauce. A coworker's husband made it for his office and sent the leftovers to us, and we had all a bite. ONE bite, and I had a sugar headache for the rest of the day. Sick, man.

She had a "light" show the other day where she said she would not be using any butter or cream cheese ... and then used bleu cheese and peanut butter, and "a little bit of butter on the asparagus - it's not enough to count."

They all use a lot of fat, except the low-carb guy (George something?)and Juan-Carlos Cruz (and I can't stand to watch him...talk about an irritating voice!). With Emeril it's "a pork fat thang". Most of them use a lot of butter or bacon/bacon fat in just about everything they cook. Even Giada uses a lot of butter along with her EVOO.

The challenging thing is to watch the shows, get the ideas for the dishes, and recreate them without the excess fat if you have a problem with that. There are always ways to improve the ideas you get on there. The chefs are very creative and imaginative though, and I'm not, so I appreciate the range they give me.

[SequSpur]

Damn, and all this time I thought Tpark owned the Food Network.

[KEDA]

my Dad and I have made a few recipies of Paulas, and they all rock!


What I usually do is go to the food network website and download some recipies and then we make them as a test, sometimes they need a little tweaking, but we make sure to get it right before giving it to family or friends!

and to answer your questions, YES KEDA can cook!

[SequSpur]

I can warm up shit in the microwave.

[KEDA]

and you can make your wife a steak!


at least thats what she dmands of you on a weekly basis!

[Shelly]

I heart Alton Brown.

Make his recipe for french toast. Awesome!

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I love the original Iron Chef. The Chairman's crazy ass Liberace style outfits, the wacked out ingredients, and the annoying side line reporter-classic.

I'm convinced that when the bring in whatever young pop star as a judge that it's really the same girl every time they just give her a new name. I used to worry that I was falling into the "all Asians look alike" mindset but now I'm pretty sure about my theory.

[TDMVPDPOY]

Iron chef is good, but the voice dubbin is bs, not all asians speak like that :D, u learn a few new things with these cook channels

[lilmads]

I think the reason why I hate Iron Chef so much is because of the voice dubbing, it's terrible...!

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Iron chef is good, but the voice dubbin is bs, not all asians speak like that :D, u learn a few new things with these cook channels

You're right. Many Asians speak some weird ass moon-man language. Thank goodness that the Food Channel assigns meaning to it.

[Mixability]

:lmao

[Melmart1]

Actually, that's why I love the old Iron Chef- it is so funny because of things like bad dubbing. The American version takes itself just a bit too seriously, so it doesn't have the same oomph.

Oh, and if you guys ever visit Japan, you would eat all kinds of crazy things, so half the stuff on Iron Chef looks normal.

I wish Wolfgang Puck's TV show was on at a decent hour, his instructional show is top-notch. I also have a set of his knives that are way cheaper than Henckels or Wusthoff but almost as good (just wish they were a tad heavier).

[TDMVPDPOY]

Bad stereotyping of asians :(

[tlongII]

Good Eats, Unwrapped, Iron Chef America, Everyday Italian.

I'd hit it.

[pache100]

I love the original Iron Chef.

I don't know...I kind of like the Iron Chef America better. I love their denim chef's coats. What says America like denim? And I love Batali's shorts and red clogs...no place but America. :lol

I get a kick out of the intensity on the show. I like Bobby Flay, but seeing him rush around and get flustered is hilarious...he's usually sooo laid back. I like that woman chef on there, too. She just made Iron Chef in the last few months. She used to be on there as an assistant a lot.

[Horry For 3!]

I watch it every now and them. Those Chef battles are pretty cool. Chef America and Iron chef :tu

[Silver21_Black20]

I like watching 30 minute meals with Rachael Ray but for authentic Italian food I love watching Lydia's Family Table on PBS, Saturdays at 3 pm.

http://www.sfgate.com/c/pictures/2005/01/05/fd_bastianich014cs.jpg

[Oh, Gee!!]

Sandra Lee is a MILF. I also like the southern cooking one with the old plump lady.

I dont know what it is, but I never suspected TPark to watch the Food Network

That's one of my favorites too!

And that babe from Italian Eats has the best cleavage on the Food Network.

[midgetonadonkey]

The Good Eats Show with the queer looking dude is pretty interesting. I like how he talks about the science of cooking.

[pache100]

Alton Brown is "queer looking"???? http://tinypic.com/m79fv5.gif Geez, I thought he was pretty normal looking. I certainly never pegged him for "queer looking". He has his wife and son on the show all the time.

Me, too! I love all the characters that show you why things happen and how things work.

He just reminds me of a queer I went to high school with.

Oh. Well, ok, then. :spin

[Shelly]

Seriously, make his french toast recipe! You won't be disappointed.

[Shelly]

Oh, and I love how Firefox has the Food Network extension!

[JoeChalupa]

I also like that new show with the two guys who entertain.

Yeah, that's right. They're gay and I watch it but I don't think I'd nominate it for any awards.

[SA Gunslinger]

The whole Tar Tar thing they can shove up their butts.

:lol

Some nasty stuff but who am I to talk? I like sashimi.

I would like to trade recipes with Jacqui Malouf.

[T Park]

My favorite part of good eats, is how he explains how the "process" of something cooking happens in science terms.

Like why water boils, how frying anything works molecularly.

Its really quite interesting.


The "Man Show" was quite good. SHowed how to make corn dogs at home, even though its honestly not THAT tough.

[leemajors]

the original iron chef is way better. the guy hosting it (not alton brown) is scary and moves like a robot. i also like the japanese one better because the challengers get to choose who they battle. the best iron chef americas i saw were when ming sai whooped up on flay, and the very few i have seen where wolfgang puck was an iron chef. i like him way better than cat cora... that being said, i would not eat half the stuff the japanese show has cooked, but i enjoy the process of seeing it made more than anything. the japanese one is way more dramatic! i also don't like rachel ray - she is a LOUSY tipper and i used to work in a restaurant - she tips about 10% max, and any decent human being tips 20% unless the service is god awful.
