Had it with the Food Channel...

[Daisy and Delilah]

Richard, once again, you've hit on the head exactly what I was thinking.

I had a discussion with my sister a couple of days ago about the crazy ingredients on the FN. Some of those things are impossible to find. If they are available, they cost a fortune.
Your pan roasted finger potatoes is a perfect example.

Cooks vs. City was pretty ridiculous. It was the two guys against two girls. One of the girls is on the network and the other one is Kelsey, one of the NFNS contestants from the past. They had to work as teams against each other and race to a finish line after completing assigned tasks.

Aaron was pretty humbled down in this show. I don't like his arrogance either but there was something different about him in this setting.

Did anybody watch the premier of Dinner Impossible? The one with the roller derby people. It was all dishes with no utensils allowed. They made the food to kinda serve as utensils itself.
The amount of food he wasted on camera, during that show, could have fed a family of 4 for a month. It was hard to watch.

I made up the finger potatoes recipe, Don't try it at home?

I hate watching people wasting food too! THat is another one of my peeves about show, especially Hell's Kitchen.

I was wathching part of the CHEFOGRAPHY about the Food Network- they were talking to the dude on the judge's panel from the NFNS he always sit on the left side of the screen? If you get a rerun, watch it and listen to him gush about the chefs and looking for other "talent".

Some of the Network Star contestants have great ideas for shows, but the network is always right!

I loved the creativity of that made up recipe. It's so true!!

I think you're talking about Bob Tuschman(?). I'll try to catch it. I was amazed at watching Giada's. I can't believe how long she knew her husband before they got married. I was shocked that her Grandfather is still alive. Who knew?

[RICHARD]

I just caught a few minutes of the 10 dollar meal show.

I tried to watch it with a fan's eye.

I just want to say one thing!

A first for any FN program I have watched?

The gal was making a salad and she made a dressing for it, she was adding
the mayo to the bowl where she was mixing it up, took a spoonful of mayo, over estimated and spooned some back into the container!

There was a whole bunch of other stuff-lol, my critical eye- but i was too
fascinated to remember.....

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

I muddled thru 5 miuntes of the Brian Boitano show.

Why not have George Foreman do a 'grill' cooking show?

Another train wreck!

I watched part of Melissa's new show. She is still very nervous in front of the camera. You're right, Richard, I noticed a ton of errors. I hope she gets better and better because I really like her.

I think I mentioned this before but I'll keep saying it. Ace of Cakes:::I can not believe how many times the cake decorators scratch their heads, shake their heads, scratch their skin, right over the cakes!!! It's unbelievably gross. There isn't much sanitary anything going on in there. None of them wear gloves, hairnets, etc. I wonder if they wash their hands after going to the bathroom?

DUDE, don't go there!

[Daisy and Delilah]

DUDE, don't go there!

I know. Sometimes, I have to turn my head or turn the channel.

Ewwww...Ewwww.Ewwwwwww!

I watched that wonton thing last night too. I said the same thing!! Empanada????? HUH?? I wondered where he got that idea?

I've never noticed that! Eek!

I've been watching a lot of "Throwdown" lately -- is it just me or does that show air often throughout the week? Anyway, I want to know if the people being thrown down aren't in some way tipped off that Bobby and company are going to be crashing their party. If he were throwing me down, I might be pretty p*****ed at him for showing up!

I have watch only a couple of them, and it is usually set up that the person thinks they are going to tape a segment for a cooking show on their "specialty" and BF shows up for it to become a "throwdown." That way they are prepared, have ingredients and everything handy, are ready to explain what they are cooking and how, and aren't freaked out by the camera ...

I think they may be on reruns for the summer season, I don't know, I don't watch it regularly, or have my DVR record it.
