Good Eats
beat mouse:
I also work in the restaurant industry (casual middle class dining wooooo...) so I can get behind the Food Network like nothing else. I actually only watch Lost on thursdays otherwise my tv is set to the food channel. Iron Chef america is watchable just because I love to see what they come up with, but Battali annoys me "Alright judges this is a roasted porrtabellloooo with somea parrrmisianooo rrrregianooo! I hope you enjoy it very much" I mean, I get it, you're Italian, but it's annoying. Flay is a putz, Cat Cora shouldn't even be there. They're all capable chefs, who create wonderful food, but like most chefs, have abrasive personalities. Alton Brown also annoys the living fuck out of me on that show, where as otherwise he seems to know whats goin on when it comes to makin food.

I'm definetely an Anthony Bourdain gal, but I do love Good Eats. My mom was never really into cooking, and as a result I never really learned how to cook. He covers all of the stupid little stuff, which is really useful. I tried the french toast recipe also, and I can attest to it's glory.
Has anyone ever seen "Barefoot Contessa"? I always get this vibe that Ina Garten has no friends, it always makes me feel bad for her/obligated to watch the show. I think it has something to do with the horribly stilted conversations she has with her "friends" on the show.

The guy has a stand mixer with flames airbrushed onto the sides.
I kindof want to have sex with him.

I actually like Rachael Ray. She's never mean, and doesn't ever say anything really negative about a restaurants food, just critiques it a little. She never calls herself a chef, just a person who grew up in the kitchen of a big family. Sure she's a bit corny, but she's just trying to make people laugh. In real life, shes probably a real swell person.
On the other hand, I hate Sandra Lee. The heinous alcoholic bitch buys pre-made food, mixes it, and claims she made it. She makes cocktails as soon as possible, and is snokered by the end of the show.
Bobby Flay, is a narcissistic arrogant asshole, and probably beats off to furry porn.
Paula Dean, is also a big headed fuck. When her and Rachael Ray did a show together, she was a total bitch, and made fun of her the whole time, while Rachael was nothing but nice to her.
And I love Alton Brown for all reasons mentioned.

I saw him battle one of the Japanese-series Iron Chefs once. Flay won, but instead of going over to shake his hand and be a gentleman and a sportsman about the whole deal, he just jumps up on the fucking counter in Kitchen Stadium and starts whooping and hollering like an asshole, and all the while the other guy (I think it was Sakai) was just like, "...all I wanted to do was shake his hand and congratulate him, and he shows not only disrespect for me, but for Kitchen Stadium."
tl;dr yeah Bobby Flay is a douchebag. If I'm ever rich and famous, I will ask to meet him just so I can deflate his ego.
