Had it with the Food Channel...

[Daisy and Delilah]

I can't hold out on this any longer. I have to mention it.

Complaint Number 1
Chopped: I like this show but I'm really put off by the obvious nastiness of some of the chefs. I can't get past how they handle the food. It's all hands and some of them seem unclean.

The show with the guy double dipping bothered me so much, I'll think twice before going to a restaurant again. It was a rerun on Sunday. I didn't like that guy at all because of his attitude but the DD really put me over the edge.

Complaint Number 2
Ace of Cakes: I have the same problem with this show. They treat the cakes like they're not going to be eaten. Unfortunately, they are usually eaten. I can't believe some of the things that go on in close proximity to the cakes on the shelf or in progress.
I also look at some of the workers and wonder when they last washed their hair, etc. None of them are wearing hair nets or any other protective gear.

The business caters to alot of wealthy people. I wonder if they actually watch the show?

Karen: What do you think of the new Aaron MsCargo shows? Anybody else watch it? He has gotten a bit theatrical on some of them.

Did anyone see the insert in the Sunday paper? It's the USA WEEKEND advert..
On the second page they do a little Q&A thing and someone wrote in about Robert Irvine. THey asked why he disappeared for a while and it explained what happened and how the fans the show got him to come back!

----------------------------------------------------

What is the matter with AG from Chopping Block?

One of the chefs dropped a piece of meat on the floor......He then served up the meat and after the judges sampled it, she asked if he did serve the meat that was dropped on the floor!

He did and they ate it!

Here comes the NFNS and the commercials with the contestants are a hoot.


Gosh, they all want to win so badly!

---------------

I saw a part of the Sandra Lee 'How much does this meal cost' show.

Ugh, enough with the penny pinching. Every thing she touched was broken down to the cent. Very obnoxious to ring up every ingredient and total it up after the meal is cooked.

"This meal cost 7.85 to make and each person eats for......"

Enough! Cook and look good!

-------------

I watched part of the Hamburger Cookoff the other day.

I wish I had time to dream up something like a Peanut Butter/Licorice hamburger with green tomato/black olive salsa. Oh, did I mention the pepper jack cheese?

EWW, some of those concoctions were vile!

I did see the Robert Irvine thing. It said the fans brought him back. He's doing a good job.

What is wrong with Alex Groanacelli on Chopping Block?? Hmmmmmm......she's got serious personality disorder issues. She scares me. One minute she's smiling broadly and the next minute she looks like a serial killer. That is one weird lady.

That segment where the meat gets dropped and the chef uses it, really shows me that that was all theatrical and rehearsed. Why on earth would the guy drop meat and use it? In any setting, I would hope he would just throw it away. Especially when people are watching him and it's on camera!! It's all part of the show.

I am really looking forward to NFNS this Sunday. YAY!!

I also saw the hamburger show. I can't imagine where those people get those ideas. What's wrong with a good old fashioned burger with normal toppings?

I saw the commercial where Sandra Lee talks about feeding our children. She mentions that sometimes she didn't know where her next meal would come from. I don't remember her bio mentioning her family had it that bad.

I saw her FN bio and it left me with more ???? than answers.

Now, I was obssessed, for all of three seconds about her being married...and I finally went in search of the answer.

I noticed that she wore a nice gold band-I find that the HUGE platinum hoops with giant pieces of carbon on a hand while a person cooks as being totally ridiculous- and thought, "Hmm, I wonder who she is married to?

I came across this article - funny because I too find the part where she gets all silly about the drinks a hoot.

http://www.ask.com/bar?q=is+sandra+l...-or-treat.html

I have always thought that she'd walk out to ask the pool boy if he wanted to share a pitcher of Bloody Marys..."Don't worry about getting drunk, my husband is out of town!"

She is/was married and apparently her hubby is very well off. There was another particulary vicious article that was pretty critical of her and her marriage. I'll pan my faves and have fun with it, after all, they are my entertainment!

----------------------

Normal hamburger, normal toppings?

Come out to Cah Lee Fun nee Ah- YOu can find some vile crap on some of our menus.

LOL, remember we GRILL our lettuce out here!

---------------

I found a pic of her hubby..

It's about halfway thru the article...

I don't watch Bizarre Foods, but have seen enough clips to make me think, whenever I encounter some weird food, what would Zimmern think?

You have to watch it!

It's a total gas. The only time I was grossed out was the by the wood worms in the Phillipines..

But then there was balut....and the stinking tofu..but, There WAS the tanantulas. And, I am not too fond of scorpions.

And the donkey in China!

BBQed grubs sounded and looked nasty!!!!! Wow, what about the.....

[Daisy and Delilah]

Last I heard, Sandra Lee was living with Gordon Elliot. He's the producer of her show and Paula Deen's, etc. I don't know if it's true.

That article is a hoot. I never realized she was married. Between what she's earned and what she got out of that marriage.......WOW!!! She's worth a bundle. I have to say I like her alot more than I used to. She stopped rolling her "L's" so much and her show isn't too bad. I really enjoy the shortcuts she takes and I think she has some great ideas.

The AZ show>>>>YUCK!!! That guy eats anything and everything. It repulses me.

Richard: I saw Pat and Gina Neely grilling lettuce the other day. Everybody picked it up from you guys!!
