Had it with the Food Channel...

[RICHARD]

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.

Does anyone remember the Next Food Network Star program?

I do! And I remember the episode in which Tuschman let JAG have it for his comments about ethnicity. What happened to Amy, the winner? Did her show ever go to air? The only show I'm really glued to on the Food Network is "Unwrapped". I don't like Guy Fieri. I also don't like Duff Goldman, the Ace of Cakes. 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??

[RICHARD]

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....

Keep the humor coming Richard!!! You're making my day

What do y'all think of "Everyday Food" on public television? In Chicago, it's on WTTW. It's a production of Martha Stewart Enterprises. It's too Martha for me. I guess I just miss the Frugal Gourmet.

I was just thinking about Dan Aykroyd's imitation of Julia Child on Saturday Night Live, "I've cut the dickens out of my finger!"

I like EF.....It's more food and less personality.

The FG got into a little trouble way back when. I don't think he'll be on the tube anytime soon. Apparently he took the term "spooning" a little to literally!


Karen,

I missed that episode. But think of this! Charm City cake packaged trifles, now in you refridgerated food section? There probably isn't enough extra cake for huge distribution, but I am sure that people would be willing to pay a few bucks extra for the product??


LB, What would we call Gini's program? Cooking on Booze?
