Title: Does anyone watch Food Network?
Post by: Sassyclassywoman on June 25, 2008, 05:53:51 PM
I watch it all day now that I have loads of free time.  God, Paula Deen has to be the most annoying one on there.  On the other hand, Rachel Ray is pretty obnoxious too.  I've been trying to find recipes for super high caloric/protein foods for my boyfriend since he's trying to gain weight.  Is there a single chef on the Food Network that you guys like or follow for your diet needs?  Just curious.

yeah, I like Bobby Flay too.  When me and my Bf were leaning out before his show, I was watching Nathon lyon alot because he really has good low carb recipes.  But for some really  they stuck him on  Discovery health.  Does anyone watch Barefoot contessa?

I mean Sandra Lee is married to a billionaire. Emeril has loads of kids, married three times. Gordon Ramsey though? The guy is loaded. He's a reall buisness man and has marketed himself PERFECTLY! He's one of thee most succesful restauranteurs in the whole world! No doubt he's going to be billionaire status! For a Chef? That is so seriously impressive! Starting salary for a Chef out of culinary school here in NYC? 10 bucks an hour! You really have to be special to make it in my field.

Besides boiling? BBQ is the easiest form of cooking! Dude Cave men did it!

for sure, but BBQing is so tasty!

I'll cook during the winter. In the summer time it's more convenient to BBQ.

Hehe,

I was going to email her last year to beg to have me on as a guest and use my 4 months of bbing dieting and deprivation as a strong argument and plea to get on...she has on her website a statement saying that ALL her guests are personal friends and she will never have unknowns on her show  :(  it made me sad

few of the people on that channel are not fat.  Giada of 'Everyday Italian' obviously eats small portions.

that channel makes me want to eat everything and become a fat man so i don't watch it for long.

I formulate ALL of thier recipes for mastication.  Bobby Flay and Tyler Florence are particular favorites.

Do you think she's an alcoholic?  She makes some drink up while doing her show each time and then is all mmmm and ohhhh this is so delicious when she drinks it.  She drinks more of her drink than she eats of her prepared dish, lol.

Sandra Lee`s recipes are a joke. She is no chef.  Semi-Homemade.  It is a disgrace.

Mario Batali, Bobby Flay, Tyler Florence and Michael Chiarello are all too hard to choose from in my opinion.

All of their cookbooks are worth it.  Tyler`s Ultimate is highly recommended!

I have made a few things by him and was pretty impressed.  I have yet to get his cookbook but surely will pick it up.  I have to look back and see what I made of his.

Just finished my summer season in Europe. Seven hour flight from Spain to East Hampton. Cooked for the King of Spain last week. Long story short. I begin filming my cooking show in September. I'm gonna make a mockery of all these other TV Chefs.
Tell us more!

What did you prepare for his highness?
Title: Re: Does anyone watch Food Network?
Post by: The True Adonis on August 28, 2008, 07:40:46 PM
Batali is the only one that is a truly talented Chef. The rest are business men.
Agreed!

One of my favorite recipes that I make of Batali`s is Pollo a Vin Cotto.  It is the absolute best!.  We use honey from a local beekeeper and it makes the flavor really intense.


His Pollo al Diavolo is also amazing.

Post by: dustin on August 28, 2008, 10:25:34 PM
I used to think that Batali was another cookie cutter chef but I've learned to respect him. Now he's one of the few celebrity chefs that I actually respect and admire.

Been watching lots of Iron Chef America. Spent years watching the Japanese version even before it came out dubbed on The Food Network. Loved the peach battle. Chairman Kaga is the shit. Favorite Iron Chefs in order are Hiroyuki Sakai, Chen Kenichi and Masahara Morimoto. Cat Cora sucks balls.

Giada is very hot.  Alton Brown teaches you stuff too about food and the science part of it.  He originally was a science teacher.  Graham Kerr was the best

Has anyone seen The Take Home Chef on TLC?  Curtis Stone is the chef.  He goes into a grocery store and approaches someone asking them if they are planning on cooking dinner for someone that night.  If they are, he says he will buy the groceries and go to their house with them (and the film crew) and cook them a gourmet meal from drinks to desserts.  I only saw one episode, but it was pretty good.
