Is anyone else as addicted to this channel as I am?

30 Minute Meals, Emeril, Unwrapped and Good Eats (Alton Brown is a cutie) are my favorites.

Somebody please tell me that I'm not the only one. :eek: :)

Nope, you're not the only one! :D

I LOVE the Food Network. Emeril is definitely my fave, but there's not a show on that channel that I don't love :D

We watch it all the time!!!! :) That's my tv addiction! You wouldn't know it, though, because I don't spend much time in the kitchen!!! I think that Tyler French is a hottie!!!! :o

Thank goodness! :D

When i first started watching, I became a real gourmet cook. Then, my whole family went on a diet. :eek:

(Hmmm...think that's a coincidence?) :o :D

Now, I've started watching 30 Minute Meals while I'm on the stationary bike in the afternoon, and I always record Emeril, Unwrapped and Good Eats at night.

I LOVE the Food Network. When I get home at night that's the first channel I put on! Another few of my favorites are $40 A Day (with Rachel Ray), Canadian Living Cooks, Christine Cushing Live..

Well I enjoy practically all the shows anyways, LOL :D

I've never seen the Naked Chef. That's a Jamie Oliver show, isn't it?

I'll have to check it out. :)

Yes, Naked Chef is one of Jamie Oliver's shows. I'm not so interested in his show regarding the restaurant. Its' too "reality series" for me.

I watched the Barefood Contessa on Saturday while I was doing laundry. She was preparing a Beach picnic and everything looked so good that I went to the website and printed off every recipe. Then I told my family, and none of them were the least bit interested in any of it!!!! :( Anyone want me to fix a beach picnic for you??

Since we can put the safety/public service aspect
of your screen saver before the wisdom of frying pork products while 'in the raw', I find Alton Brown within the bounds of good taste and Good Eats!!

I've been addicted for years! Emeril and Iron Chef are my favorites. I loved Two Fat Ladies and a lot of the old shows, too. Logan, what was cooked for the Beach picnic?? I can't imagine what your group wouldn't like! Met Emeril here on the beach a few years ago. (He's originally from New Bedford) He was doing a book signing/clam bake. He is SO fine! mmm, mmm, mmm!:D

I love Emeril! Bam! Bam! and I love Alton Brown, he is a real cutie, and I think he is fun to watch. And yes, I am addicted to the Food Channel also. I loved the show Emeril done at school when he prepared the kicked up mac and cheese, that was sooo good. :) ;)

Anybody watching Emeril Live , Emeril's Thanksgiving with Our Troops, one of his guest is Shashawna Johnson, I think I have the name right, one of our ladies that was taken prisoner, I know I did not spell her name right, but it was a thrill to see her there smiling and laughing. I love Emeril, he is great!!
