What's your favorite Food Network show?

I really like Next Food Network Star - the other night I stayed up until 2am watching it.

There's just something about Food Network that's really addictive. . . I can't stop watching it!

Maybe it's because I love making food and eating it. . . it's just a natural progression to also enjoy watching others cooking as well!

I love Paula and Sandra. I don't really like their recipes, but I like watching.

The Hearty Boys and Barefoot Conetessa have great recipes. My tivo is full of shows. I love it.

I love those cake decorating competitions where they have to create these monstrous sugar structures and then move them to another table without...CRASH! They really do some amazing things.

I also love Alton Brown's Good Eats. I like that he explains why you do things a certain way rather than just tell you to do it. It's that whole ...teach-a-man-to-fish... thing.

Barefoot Contessa - partly because of the very non-forgiving cinematography of that show.

30 Minute Meals - always entertaining

Paula Deen is sexy as hell. I love watching her roll some dough.

I like Tyler's Ultimate and 30 Minute Meals because what they make are easy to do at home. I also enjoy watching Barefoot Contessa (for her snobbiness), Paula's Home Cooking (for her laugh), Semi-homemade with Sandra Lee (for cocktail time), and Good Deal With David L (bec. he's hot).

I love Barefoot Contessa (Ina reminds me of my WASPy roots, plus she just has amazing recipes), and Paula's Home Cooking. Good Eats is my favorite, though...Alton just has that something about him.

Good Eats is my top favorite. I also like those cake cookoffs. They're always exciting. I guess I'm the only person here who just can't stand listening to Paula's voice. 2 minutes of that cornball accent drives me right up a wall. And I'm a southerner!

Good Eats is great! I always feel a lot smarter after I watch that show. I like being knowledgable about the history of toasters and waffle-irons!

The food that Paula Deen cooks looks sooo good - but incredibly fattening! I think she puts a stick of margarine, tub of sour cream, and cream cheese in almost everything she makes.

I like Rachael Ray's recipes, but she is super-annoying. I hate all her cutesy words and terms that she constantly uses: yum-O, EVOO, spoonula, stoup, super mashers, smashed potatoes, naming tons of dishes after her dead dog, Boo. I know that I left out tons of other Rachel-isms. Feel free to add to my list!

Did any of you watch the Villain cake contest last Sunday?

"Tyler's Ultimate" and Food 911". Heck, I'd watch a test pattern if Tyler Florence was in the foreground!

My favorites are Everyday Italian with Giada de laurentiis, 30 minute meals, and barefoot Contessa.

I cannot stand Sandra lee. ugh

mirrarmar - "Sammy" instead of sandwich. I want to throw something at the tv...

Sandra Lee doesn't eat, so she does not belong anywhere near a kitchen. Of course I am being completely unfair, biased, and unnecessarily cruel, but that woman gets on my last nerve.

I also sort of have a crush on Emeril, even though I never use his recipes

I LOVE Food Network.

I watch Food Network pretty much all the time.

Barefoot Contessa, though I have never and probably will never make one of her recipes. I don't eat meat, and everything else that she makes is bad for you.

I LOVE Giada, too.

I absolutley love Good Eats.

[broadway86]

Posted: 6/18/07 at 11:23pm

I love pretty much every show on that channel, but the three I never, ever turn off are "Iron Chef", "Good Eats", and (although I despise her) "$40 a Day". Updated On: 6/19/07 at 11:23 PM

Love Good Eats.

Semi Homemade's host needs some voice lessons. She sounds like she talks down to her audience through her nose with gum in her mouth.

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 6/19/07 at 11:08am

Semi Homemade stinks...her centerpieces at the end always make me laugh. I spend Saturdays with this in the background.

Paula and Giada are the only hosts I can stand...and i like Giada's food (Paula's as well, but I couldnt eat like that!)

I love Ace of Cakes too.

I cannot watch that jerk who won NFNS last year.

Barefoot Contessa: It doesnt call for it in the recepie but lets just blend up a jar of mayo and three eggs and put it in there anyways.
