EW, EMERIL! I totally forgot about him and his "gah-lic". He's possibly the worst actor of all time.

not to mention Marc Summers. "Hi, I'm...Mark Summers and I...host Unwrapped on...The Fokod Network."

"EW, EMERIL! I totally forgot about him and his "gah-lic"."

What I hate more than Emeril are the folks in his studio audience. They act like they've never seen "gah-lic" before with their ooohs and ahhhs.

I know! Emerils' audiences are such enablers. Anytime he puts any kind of alcohol in anything, they cheer. Jeez!

And then there's Sandra Lee's alcoholism. She has at least one rink in each episode. Last week, she made the same amount of cocktails as dishes, and they were all like 3 parts alcohol and 1 part juice or mix. It was sickening.

Rachel Ray makes me want to throw a brick at the tv. I hate the yum o, delish, evoo, laughing, carrying everything she needs in an entire recipe to the counter.
Giada is lovely to watch and I like her food. Her teeth are amazing as is her cleavage.
Paula Deen is hard for me to watch because I hate her southern drawl. I don't like her cooking either.
I enjoy watching Ina Garten and I like her food so much I purchased one of her cook books.
I love Bobby Flay's cooking and I get great ideas from him.
I adore Mario Batali but I don't think I could ever make one of his recipes. He's fabulous though and I'd love to eat his food.
WHAT HAPPENED TO IRON CHEF JAPAN??? I miss hearing "if memory serves me right."

Now here's a thread I can relate to!

Can't stand:

Rachel Ray
Emeril
Warren Brown (don't even get me started, how this guy even got his own show is beyond me)
Sandra Lee (pretentious skank)

the guy who comments during the chef competitions

Gordon Elliott (who produces such drek as Sandra Lee's show)

Paula Deen - I realize she has worked hard for where she is, but one of the days I'm waiting for her to lay an egg as she always cackles when she puts food in her mouth!

Those I like:

Ina Garten
Giada DeLaurentis
Tyler Florence
Sara Moulton

Sara is good, yes.

Emeril.

And Marc Summers - who is not a chef - but is a host on the food network.

I love the Food Network.

EVOOextravirginolivoil!

Ha ha! I thought I was the only person that this annoyed. What is the point of using an abbreviation "EVOO" if you are ALWAYS going to follow it up with the full name? And no one smiles that much. It's not natural. And Tasty Travels is GOOFY. In Nashville, she went to Bongo Java for breakfast and had an English muffin with egg and a slice of cheese. She ooohed and ahhhhed over it. It was a friggin Egg McMuffin with no meat. Insane.

Giada annoys the hell out of me but she doesn't bother me as much her show does. I don't need to get an audio close up of her chopping celery or smashing garlic. And her mouth is weird. I wait for her to say "pop," "crunch," or "crisp" on every show. She enunciates them so oddly.

Sandra Lee is an idiot. I hate her show. I saw the beginning of her show today and her hair was HYSTERICAL! On that reality show that Food Network does she said, "I have a strict rule. 60% store bought, 40% Homemade!" That cracked me up. Who decides percentages of what she does?? On the first show of hers that I saw, she was doing Halloween stuff. She made sandwiches on wonder bread with prosciutto and mustard. She cut them with ghost cookie cutter. What is homemade about that? Sounds freakin' NASTY!

I love Good Eats. Very interesting concept for a show.
I love Iron Chef America.
I like all the weird cooking showdown shows.
I also like Paula Deen. She can be a little annoying at times. lol

Man, I watch this channel too much.

I like Rachel Ray and all of her shows, but she just gets really annoying sometimes.
