Had it with the Food Channel...

It's on BBC here, but it may be on a different channel in the UK and other places.

Can’t find much now, but here’s a bit of info - there's another picture in the first link (a bit down on the left - the book cover)

I do like Paula Deen. She's very likeable and she seems to be a lot of fun. But her recipes are so heavily laden w/butter and fat, I can hear my left ventricle slamming shut just watching her program.

Oh man,

I saw the end of Good Eats and AB was wrapping a standing rib roast with string that came from a ball that was sitting on the floor.

Guy Fieri was in a Mexican restaurant while a woman was cooking a pot of menudo. He started out with his hand on the rim of the pot she was using.
In one of the next shots he was resting his forearm across the rim.

Nice.

I love to see the cakes they do, but I just don't like him.

I think we ought to film a show from Gini's kitchen the next time * hint hint * she hosts a BBQ. Good food, educational "minced not chopped"

Peoples' personal tastes taken into account *no squeeky mushrooms please*. Oh, and did I say ENTERTAINING? With HOT babes and kewell DUDES too

I love this thread!!!! I can't get enough of people's opinions here at PT

Elyse, I think Amy's show is on Sunday at 1:00 OR 1:30 EST. I've seen it a couple of times. It was ok but not great. I was hoping the other girl would win. Oh well

Giada and Delicioso.......enough of the cleavage already. The way Giada uses her hands and enunciates words to death is enough to make you want to barf.

Lobodeb: Thanks for your comments----I loved them

All right on!!

The Neely's--when will poor Pat ever get a word in edgewise? I get tired of Gina jumping in front of the camera and ordering him around like a slave.

Is anybody watching the Food Network Challenge? I love some of the recipes and I can't wait to go to TGI Fridays to try some of them.

It seems to me that Guy Fieri is taking over the network, one show at a time. He's all over the place.

I am begging for new Iron Chef shows. Please!!!!!???

Just yesterday, I was wondering why Ina Garten entertains so many men and why does her husband Jeffrey have to spend so much time out of town??

TOP CHEF has started, so I am pleased....

The Gourmet Next Door was pulled from Sat morning rotation. I haven't seen hide nor hair of it. I was suprised that Amy won.....

Tuschman raked her over the coals for the BISTRO references everytime. The pilot of the show was terrible.....she said "You know" about 50 times.

----------
The word on the wind is that some of RR's old programs have been shelved
because of the age and she isn't doing any more new ones because of her
talk show/train wreck.

I had to laugh about her including her hubby on that one program. She'd NEELY him all the time....

Ugh, RR has this new saying that my mom was telling me about-she call all the food 'KIDS'- I watched a segment where she was cooking a soup and said, 'Come on kids, into the pool!" I thought for a minute and flashed to the old Jessica Simpson reality show.

Another program was showing film clips of it -Talk Soup?- and they played a segment where JS told her hubby that she was going to "Drop some kids into the pool"- going to the bathroom to do a number 2!

I started to laugh......Now whenever I see RR I think about her "dropping kids into the pool" or a pot of soup.

O.K.

Here is the Giada 'throwdown'.....

My mom was watching when I passed thru her house. She asked me what was the deal with her that day.

I looked and noticed that she has a definite "body type". I told her that there was something about her proportions. Check it out when she wears sleeveless apparel.....Jokingly I told Ma that she had dinosaur arms....
Now my mom calls her GEICO-like the Geico gecko....
