Had it with the Food Channel...

[RICHARD]

I like the Challenges on Food TV. I am tired of seeing Giada de Laurentis' boobs! The teeth and the fake smile get to me too. Rachael Ray used to dress conservative but she is also now showing half of her boobs. I used to really like Sara Moulton and was sorry they took her off. I guess FoodTV is trying to attract the male audience with their porno show.

Welcome to the thread....

You remind me of where this thread has been since it started!


D&D,

Crab Meat
Banana
Shredded Wheat
Avocado
Candied ginger


Shredded wheat and sliced bananas.

Avocado, crab meat with a little mayo, chopped veggies and a squirt of hot sauce on toasted rye bread?

The ginger to fight off the heartburn afterwards?



I really got hysterical when I thought about how they put together the ingredients for each challenge.

I can see the 'writer' hanging on the the doors of the cabinet where all the food is stocked. He's obviously 'compromised' with a wicked sense of the MUNCHIES and swaying side to side trying to figure out the steak, Froot Loops, chocolate sauce and string bean connection....


Oh, the judge, Alex, why is she on there?
Everything seems to offend her kitchen sensibility-I'd love to watch her cooking-She a real treat, ain't she?

LOL LOL LOL Good job Richard!! Not all mixed together but ok.
In the beginning of the show, they give explanations as to what they should do. They can use as little or as much of each ingredient. Why do they always use alot in each dish. Well, almost always.

Alex G. is probably my least favorite person on the FN. I can't stand her!! She's so full of herself. I hate that show she has too. She gives the word "smug" a new meaning.

What I despise the most about Giada is when she has guests. I know I keep repeating myself but.......she thinks she's the only person that knows how to cook. She acts even more goofy when someone is there. She's very very arrogant otherwise too. I've seen her on other shows and she keeps that big nose in the air.

Enough of the cleavage and porn music too.

Its funny the two shows i love nobody likes.

I love Paula's Home Cooking,I love the accent,She seems to be a fun person.

And i also like Diners Drive ins and Dives,I dont pay much attention to the way they act im more intrested in seeing all the little resturants,Some of the history on some of the resturants is amazing,The down fall is i always get real hungry watching these shows.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Lori, I agree with you on the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. I've gotten to love the concept of the show. The food everyone cooks is so interesting. It really is a great show.

I almost forgot--If you're not hungry when you start watching it, you might be real hungry when you finish watching it.

I love any show, Like No Reservations on the Travel Channel, that go into restaurants or focus on the food or chef- MY problem with GF is that HE becomes the story and his manners while in the kitchens is a put off.

I mentioned a show where he wiped a sandwich all over his face - apparently he and the chef were going to share it- so he did it to get the whole thing for his nasty self.

I love the show premise, just cannot stand the host.

I like both of those, too!

I love Good Eats. Can't hang with Rachel Ray, she's hyper and her voice is like nails on a chalkboard. Paula is OK but her sappy southern charm gives me too much of a sugar buzz and I can get the same charm from just about anyone around here, LOL. I don't think I've seen Giada's show, and I honestly think Guy Fieri wouldn't have a job if he looked like everyone else. Good Eats is the show I watch the most on Food, but I really like No Reservations and Bizarre foods on Travel

I decided to watch Aaron McCargo's show today. I think it was pretty good. He did all Greek food. He wasn't too theatrical and I saw some of the old Aaron that we loved in the beginning. Most everything he cooks looks delicious but sometimes greasy. I would love to taste some of the dishes he made today.

GF is Mr. "I Am The Center of Attention". He wants it no other way. I don't get the big bite thing. It could be a food description(I guess?) but he literally tries to eat the whole thing at once. He looks like such a slob when he does that. He gets to the point of wasting food to be cute. It's not attractive.

He really seems to be a nice guy but we could do without the drama. If he could be himself, he would be fine, in my book.
On the other hand......that show he had on last night. I think it was "Guy's Big Night", or something like that. He was acting so far over the top, I almost think he's on drugs. Where does he get this energy?
I also didn't see his wife in the audience with the rest of the family. She must not like the limelight.

I suppose the FN needs some of their stars to be like that but he is so intense, I had to turn it to something else.

I think Paula Deen is too heavy with the Southern Belle routine. I respect the fact that she's probably worth millions but she needs to cut the drama too.

I like RR's show when she goes on vacation. What a job. Her and her husband travel around and eat like kings. Her 30 minute show is too much. I hope the new ones(if there are new ones) will be more tolerable. She had that throat condition and I think she's had to slow down with the talking.

[Daisy and Delilah]

I just watched a rerun of "Chopped". I have to say it again.......I love the show but I can't take anymore of Alex Groanacelli.

Can she be anymore obnoxious or arrogant? She was shedding tears at the end so I gave into her a little but not much.

I think I desperately need a FN fan to tell me something good about her so I can try to learn to like her.
