The hatred I have for Rachel Ray runs deep...


I have to admit I'm getting to that point. She's too cutesy.

[The Pied Piper]

I hate RR too

She needs to get slammed

I'd love to see her in porn but not on a cooking show

I want to punch her square in the grill every time she says EVOO...

She just annoys the hell out of me...

[Shelly]

Alton Brown rules!

[Sunshine]

Oh oh oh


How could I forget ... Road Tasted with the Deen brothers!

How can the Food Network even be compared to MTV?? The Food Network is still all about food.

[Shelly]

I like the cake, gingerbread, etc. decorating contests.

[SpursWoman]

The hatred I have for Rachel Ray runs deep...


I've read ad nauseum about her in this forum and very few like her ... I watched this 30 minute or whatever Thanksgiving dinner, and I fucking hated it. :lol

[SpursWoman]

The gingerbread one was awesome!!

You should have seen the ginger-ghetto we made. :lol

[Shelly]

Where's Emeril Legrasse? He should be posting in this thread.

RR's daytime show is even worse.

[Sunshine]

And I'm old enough to remember when MTV was all about music videos.

[MannyIsGod]

The hatred I have for Rachel Ray runs deep...I started a thread on it once. :lol

[SpursWoman]

I was trying to be objective when I watched her show, having read all the rants but gotdamn, she's annoying as all hell. :lol

[1Parker1]

She's annoying, but I'm addicted to Food Network. I won't even eat half the stuff those people cook, but I just have to watch the shows!

[MannyIsGod]

The food network is OK. Jess watches it a ton. I don't go outof my way to watch it. But I hate Rachel fucking Ray

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

I think the real reason I hate her is the fact she can't cook for shit. Sometimes, it even looks like shit.

Yum, where's my sammy?

[Guru of Nothing]

I hate to pile on, but Rachel Ray is a twat - unless she is in my bed, I have ZERO interest in her.

I love America, but Rachel challenges that love every time I see her.

And yes, Alton Brown is the best on Food TV- no one else even comes close. ... well, maybe Bobby Flaymer.

[Jekka]

Alton Brown rules!
:tu Alton Brown kicks ass - I have season two of Good Eats on my laptop.

[T Park]

Alton Brown is probobly, one of the funniest guys on tv.

He doesn't claim to be a comedic writer, but I differ with him.

Dude is one funny guy.

Love his rants against the govt on eating raw eggs, and meat.

It is true. I mean, amazing how all those years went by people ate both and no one got sick on it.


Although, watching rocky drink all those raw eggs was gross.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Alton Brown is good. He is up there with The Frugal Gourmet in my book. Too bad the FG was a pedophile...

[boutons_]

"and no one got sick on it."

T_pork, the living, breathing authority-by-LARGE-example on healthy eating. :lol

"The [US] government estimates that over all, food-borne microbes, not just the ones on produce * make 76 million people a year sick, put 325,000 in the hospital, and kill 5,000'

... and that's understated from a Repug govt that is corp/agri-business friendly.

Corps and industries self-regulating always works. :lol

Fresh food is to be treated as hazardous material.

[ObiwanGinobili]

I love Alton Brown, Bobby Flay, Iron Chef, and yes - Rachel Ray. I like her 30 min meals, and $40 a day.

I cannot stand the barefoot contessa. or that carb-free cooking guy. ick.


I loooooove the food contests. there was a chocolate contest on earlier this summer - wow! The sculptures were amazing.

The Froog got me started on watching cooking shows.

[1369]

Don't know what network she's on (and even if I did it's not like I'd get to watch it anyway what with the Upside Down Show/Max and Ruby/Jimmy neutron/etc going on), but her cookbooks kick tons of ass (Ham in Coca-Cola is way good), she's not shy about cooking with fatty ingredients and has a great rack.

[Shelly]

Did anyone watch Alton Brown's "Feasting On Asphalt" over the summer.

It was awesome!

Alton has a very dry wit.

[Shelly]

Didn't he always used to say:

"Isn't that a riot?" or something like that?

[Sunshine]

Didn't he always used to say:

"Isn't that a riot?" or something like that?


Yep. He did.

He also said "hot pan, cold oil, food won't stick" which to this day I still say to myself when I'm getting ready to fry or sautee. :lol

[leemajors]

my fave cooking/food/drink shows are on other networks - still kinda bummed they haven't shown any new thirsty travelers or ming's quests in a while. ming tsai's show on pbs isn't bad, but not the same. culinary travels is good, but food network needs to bring back wolfgang puck's show. they also need to put him back on iron chef, he regulated hardcore the few times he was on.

[Sunshine]

I love the cooking shows on KLRN too.

Jacques Pepin rocks.

We keep fresh parisa at the ranch almost all the time...we have made converts from all over the country this year...they can't believe how good it is and when they ask about the raw meat we tell them "If raw meat kills you then everyone in Castroville woulds have been wiped out a hundred years ago" LOL

[1369]

"Parisa"

Bastard, now I'm hungry and need to make some.

[CosmicCowboy]

:lmao

The best I have found is from the Triple S Market in Castroville...they have regular and spicy. The spicy absolutely rocks...a pound of that stuff, a box of saltines, and a case of ice cold Shiner Bock is the next best thing to sex.

Hell, I'm headed up to my family's place in Barksdale in a couple of weeks for an Axis hunt and I swing right by Triple S. Guess I'll have to make a quick stop after Haby's.

There used to be a BBQ joint right across the street from the Triple S years and years ago. Now that was some good stuff.

[boutons_]

Sounds like European "steak tartare" but spicier.

The peppers and lemon juice have anti-microbial properties, but if the meat was infected eg, with E coli 0157, I wouldn't want to count on the other ingredients to protect me.

The problem is not the rawness of the meat, but any meat/food infected/tainted from unsanitary processing and handling.

Sanitary farming/animal husbandry/processing/handling costs more than unsanitary, so count on the corps to place their profits above your health.

[Spurfect]

http://unangelic.org/stupidlogic/uploads/nigella.jpg

that's Nigella right? she has that Nigella Bites show. yeah it's on the Food Network. love her! I watch the food network alot. Rachey Ray can get very annoying but I do still watch 30 Minute Meals and $40 a Day.
Alton Brown rocks! I like Unwrapped too... I mean it's Marc Summers! A little childhood nostalgia there :)
Also, I looooove the contests like when they had that cartoon cake contest to see who made the best cartoon cake, they were incredible. they also had another cake contest that was amazing too. great shows on food network :tu

[1Parker1]

I cannot stand the barefoot contessa.

Oh yea!! Forgot about her...I can't stand her!! Paula Dean is pretty funny to watch. If only I love how disgusted I get by the huge sums of butter and cheese she puts in every dish. I can feel my arterties clog up just watching her cook...It makes me want to eat healthy every time I watch her show. :lol

[samikeyp]

And I'm old enough to remember when MTV was all about music videos.

me too. At least you still look that young! :)

I have been a big fan of the network for a long time.

I got hooked on the old Iron Chefs...those were cool.

I like RR on 30min. meals and $40 a day but I tried to watch her talk show....to paraphrase her..."yuck-o"

Big Alton Brown fan and I like him as the host of IC:America....liked his Asphalt show too..until he wiped out!

Someone that I don't think has been mentioned.....

I like Giada's show, but her head is disportionate to her tiny body.

[1369]

From tvgasm (http://www.tvgasm.com/archives/food_network/001570.php)


Ever wonder what would happen if one of our favorite Food Network chefs created something they actually didn't like? Well, we were lucky enough to witness such an event when Giada De Laurentiis of Everyday Italian attempted to make some sort of sorbet. She claimed on the air that her facial expressions of disgust and malaise were merely a reaction to the icy treat, but we know better. Behold the Great Giada Disaster of 2006.

[Shelly]

I like Giada's show, but her head is disportionate to her tiny body.


She's gorgeous, but she's definitely in the lollypop catagory.

[SequSpur]

All good wives should watch cooking shows and make their husband good meals.

[leemajors]

I like Giada's show, but her head is disportionate to her tiny body.

more specifically, her forehead.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

How can the Food Network even be compared to MTV?? The Food Network is still all about food.

So what? What is MTV about? Cramming shitty teeny bopper music down your throat, recycling the retreads from Road Rules and Real World, and bitching and moaning about entitlement and the 'white man' keeping everyone down all the fucking time.

Oh, and Rachel Ray is annoying as hell, just to add to the dogpile.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

By the way, Giada is awesome :tu I would do naughty things to her :devil

[1369]

Jeeeeeezzzzzuuuuusssssss AHF...you trying to kill us heteros?

Exactly. Great rack on Giada.

:rolleyes

Gawd. Such a typical male.


But even I must agree that she's hot.

The original Iron Chef kicks butt. The only exciting thing about Iron Chef America is Cat Cora's ass.

[pseudofan]

Oh oh oh

She's absolutely gorgeous. :tu

[CosmicCowboy]

She's absolutely gorgeous. :tu

I'm sure one of the Spurstalk stud muffins in here will chime in that "her forehead is too big" or "I see girls hotter that that every day at UTSA"....

[RandomGuy]

The food network will only be the new MTV if it stops having shows about food. (remember when Music TeleVision actually showed music old timers?)

What about that fat guy who drives across America to test the local specialty greasy meals ?

[BlackSwordsMan]

Giada doesn't wear anything like that anymore she realized why her ratings were so high and wore clothes to cover her tits. =[

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Yeah. I was going to say that she doesn't wear anything that frilly any more. She does definitely show a slight amount of cleave on every episode.

[BlackSwordsMan]

Nah she always wears that purple shirt it seems and it covers everything.

[BlackSwordsMan]
