I love Alton Brown. He is kind of like the Bill Nye of the food world. I really enjoy his show, if only for the fact that he genuinely enjoys food and is actually educational about the particular food item he is working with. I appreciate that he has an amazing storage of food knowledge. I aspire to be so knowledgeable.
On the other hand I hate Paula Dean. She is obnoxious...almost as much so as Rachel Ray. Both of them are like watching train wrecks--it is really awful but you keep watching just to see if it is possible it could get any worse. It always does.
And mayonnaise = the nastiest thing on the planet. Have you ever made mayonnaise. It is not pleasant. I will acknowledge that there are a few things that work with mayonnaise, but I think that, particularly in paula's cooking, it is used entirely too much.
I also believe someone mentioned No Reservations. Please, please, please discard that movie and see the German film that they ripped off, Mostly Martha. It is significantly less awful.
Alex C:
Oh, don't worry; people meant the cable program hosted by Anthony Bourdain, an infinitely entertaining man who actually comes across as shockingly humble in some of his interviews, which tends to surprise his critics, since he's hardly afraid to take people to task for caring more about schtick than cooking.
valley_parade:
Yeah, we meant the dude that pretty much gets paid to travel and drink himself silly.
Trillian:
Oh...well then I am fine with that. In fact, I want that job.

Alton has definitely inspired me to cook, I've done a few of his recipies and tweaked a few, like his cheesecake recipe I changed a little. I really want to try making my own mayonaise, when he made it it looked so much better than the stuff at the stores.
