She thinks he&#39;s corny, yet she likes me, go figure. With Giada, she gets jealous cuz Giada is one spicy meatball. Both of us watch Barefoot C though, props to all her talented gay associates.<br /><br /><br />There is one Chef that was my all-time, don&#39;t miss an episode, program- The Take Home Chef. This was a TLC program starring Master Chef Curtis Stone. This world experienced Aussie would style and profile into markets within So Cal area, pick-up babes then he and his crew would take them home, cook a fabulous meal and surprise the significant others. When it was a husband or boyfriend they were surprising, things would get interesting! At times you could cut the tension with a culinary knife. I used to laugh and love it. Old episodes are on You Tube<br />-finJohn Collinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10092124450350853992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11760808.post-15497825041763712492009-06-05T16:11:38.424-07:002009-06-05T16:11:38.424-07:00This is funnyCristihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10348824177057780801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11760808.post-35391160670327662422009-01-20T10:49:00.000-08:002009-01-20T10:49:00.000-08:00Loved your blog... I completly agree with your list. I would say Giada's and Ina Garten top it all for me. I like the simple cooks for everyday people. I can't stand a recipe that calls for millions of ingredients, especially ingredients you only end up using only once. <BR/>It took me a long time to accept Ina though, she seemed to snobby, cooking in her big east hampton house and all her friends seem to be gay. Do they not have any straight people in east hampton?<BR/><BR/>Love Giada all of her recipes are super easy. I also love how excited she gets when the meal is complete.<BR/><BR/>I still think Emeril's the man. Sure I have yet to try one of his meals, but you have to respect a guy with so much creativity.<BR/><BR/>Rachel Ray- can't stand her. I do agree that she has a unique take on her foods though.<BR/><BR/>Paula Dean-love her. I've never once tried to make her food, but she's entertaining to watch and she reminds me of my mother-so that is enough of a reason. <BR/><BR/>Lastly (I know I should have made this a blog in itself), I don't know if I'm the only one, but the food network has brought on too many new hosts. What's with "Cooking with the Neeley's" all the guy does is talk about how much he loves his wife-yuckkkk. <BR/><BR/>Or "Ask Aida"- I do like her, but I kind of think the whole email conception is stupid, all the questions that are asked of her seem pretty obvious and she always has to stop what she is doing to answer a random question.<BR/>Guy Fieri- can't stand him. All he says is "Money this, money that" He just seems so blughhh.<BR/><BR/>Ingrid Hoffman- one work "Ketchup"<BR/><BR/>Okay I'm done.<BR/><BR/>Oh, by the way love Iron Chef and am I the only one but I kind of miss Mario Batali. I heard he got into some sort of disagreement with the network, which is why they cute him off. But I think that he would top off the list of everyone. I love how educational he is and a complete love and appreciation he has for Italian cooking. <BR/><BR/>Lastly (no really)- the network should bring a Armenian/ Lebanese/Middle Eastern/Mediterranean chef on board (not Israeli!!). They have all the races covered practically anyway (no Asian cooking though). I just think they should spice it up a bit.<BR/><BR/>SalpyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11760808.post-77131462912432187692009-01-14T23:17:00.000-08:002009-01-14T23:17:00.000-08:00I have new shows to tivo now!

If I wasn't watching every friggen morsel that goes in my mouth to try to lose weight I'd be making a lot more Food Network recipes myself, so I'm kinda living vicariously through you on that. <BR/><BR/>I'm kinda surprised not to see any Guy Fieri on your list. That dude rocks. I LOVE me some Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. Love Unwrapped too but that's not a cooking show. Technically neither is DDD but hey... Personally I like Throwdown with Bobby Flay better than his other shows but they all have merit.<BR/><BR/>Anywho, keep the blogging up...you can do it....Rissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01126726831316355922noreply@blogger.com
