Had it with the Food Channel...

[RICHARD]

I have to admit that it's good entertainment for me. Watching those people scrambling to create something decent, within the guidelines, can be pretty tedious.

Good call on the woman they booted off. She was nothing but depressing. And....she's a comedian??

Oh, It's my sick pleasure too.

Yeah, the comedian was a sad sack!

I think it is the high-heel chickie babe that falls, also there is a clip they show of someone trying to open a glass jar by tapping the metal cap on the counter-the thing breaks....

I went to my mom's house and she was watching How To Boil Water.

Florence was cooking a chicken dish. He prepped the meat on a cutting board.

He wipes it down with a dish towel after he clears it off. He makes the obligatory, "wash your hands after touching poultry", goes to the sink, washes his hands, goes back to the cutting board and dries his hands on the towel he used to wipe the board down.


DUDE, you just recontaminated your hands!

Richard, Ahhhh, the mistakes we catch while watching those shows. It's unreal!!

LOLOLOL,

I have an AOL account that I rarely use-it's more for email and stuff....I opened one up and the footed is a link to some TYLER FLORENCE COOKING link.

Why do I torture myself by watching Paula's Party??? It seems to be the only thing on. Rauchy raunchy raunchy. I think she successfully terrified the guests on last night's show. Poor Joe Nichols and Dionne(spelling?)Sanders. Those guys didn't know what to do. They were a couple of nervous wrecks. When she made DS eat that raw oyster, I lost it. ~~FLIP THE CHANNEL~~
I couldn't make it to the end.

The black, bald headed guy? That's Deion 'primetime' Sanders. He played football with the Cowboys and the Falcons. He was a primma donna, BIGTIME!
He didn't like to get hit on the field, so he retired to be an announcer.

I might want to see that episode.

I tend to turn the channel especially when the chefs do anything with the public. The TF 'visit good looking women at home show' is another winner.

There should be some kind of '5 foot rule for him'. The better looking the woiman, the farther he has to be from them.

I remember seeing one Emeril show where he was cooking seafood. This happened when he had the people sitting around the prep/cook area.

(Wow, about seven years ago!)

He would give out the plates to the people at the 'bar' to share with the rest of the audience behind them. He split a lobster and gave it to a couple to sample, he went off to cook something else, then came back later to see how the dish went over with the group in that section. He said something like, "How did everyone like it?'.then stopped because he noticed that the plate never left the couple. they scarfed down the whole thing themseleves. He made a comment like, "We'll never know!" and went on to another dish.

The other EL thing I don't care for is when he has a recipe's author in the audience and while he cooks their dish, he makes changes in it, You can see 'the love' on their faces when he puts his spin on the recipe!

That was the black, bald headed guy. Dionne Sanders. He's the guy that played football and baseball at the same time. He and his gorgeous wife have about 5 or 6 kids. His wife is stunning. Paula was putting her hands all over him and I'm pretty sure his wife told her, "That's enough!". Can't blame her. I wouldn't want anybody's hands all over my man either.

Now, I'm watching for snafus on these shows. I love it!!

How did you like last night's NFNS? Raw eggs? Are they kidding? The way the fella had to carve them apart, couldn't he tell? I think they looked raw. That bald black guy is pretty loud and bossy. I'm not really sure why they booted the romantic guy off instead of the Indian girl that walked out. I didn't see anything much wrong with the guy that was kicked out. He was kinda cute and had a pretty good theme, in my opinion. As far as I'm concerned, he was talking about romantic things. However, Bobby Flay didn't agree.

Could that show be fixed?? No way!!

[RICHARD]

check it out! If you go back and watch the last ten minutes of the show, Tuschman gave it away. If you watch any other cooking show you would see the judges come down hard on any one that was a 'one dish cook'.

When Nipa walks out and comes back in he makes a statement like 'We are looking for cooks like you because we don't have anyone who cooks Indian."
I am paraphrasing because I don't remember exactly what he said and it was an obvious vote for her to stay. I think the FC is bending to become politically correct.

IF raw eggs had been served in Top Chef or Hell's Kitchen what to you think would have happened? I think that martial law would have been ordered. He would have been out on his wallet(I like to think Gordon Ramsey would have broken his eardrum too!). What's worse? A case of salmonella or a little chili on your meat?

I had to laugh when the woman judge got a piece of the rawness. DUDE, CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT YOU ARE EATING?

I think Booby Flake DIDN'T like the guy they tossed out because HE is the sophisticated "food romantic" of the channel. He obviously doesn't get the food/romance connection that the guy was trying to project-hard to do when you are a narcissist!

With BF as the host and judge I think that the winner will be a woman.

Overall, I find that the challenge prep times are way too short. Who cooks in one half hour? Who cooks on a train? who wakes up at three in the morning to go shopping?

How can cooking like a maniac prepare you for having all day to do a 30 minute show? Other than Booby Flake cooking Iron Chef and ALWAYS WINNING with chipotle, mango salsa and honey, "to balance the dish", I just don't see it.

The TVFN contract that the winner gets is only good for 6 shows.

I guess they reserve the right to get rid of the duds-but keep people like Guy.

That dude is an effing slob. I tuned in to see who was on and saw him eating a sandwich/burger. The cook asked him if he was, "Going to save me a bite!".

GF took the sandwich, wiped it all over his face and then tried to hand it to the cook.

In another preview to his show he has this enormous sandwich in his hands, takes three bites of it a once and pulls it away from his pie hole. He's got all kinds of crap on his face.

Growing up we would have been slapped into the year 2050 if we were acting stupid like that. I guess you can play with food when you don't have to pay for it.


I am waiting for the appearance of RR and her stupidity on the show!

----------

I need to make a disclaimer. I am no superchef and I stir with the same spoon I taste with.....I am the only one who the meal is made for, so I reserve the right to be a slob in my opwn kitchen, I don't cook for the public!
And when I do I use the proper tools and manners!
