Paula Deen

I happened to be watching the end of Paula Deen today (waiting on Rachael to come on and see if I wanted to watch hers today) and I saw a commercial for this new show that has Ted from Queer Eye hosting. I don't remember the name of it, but it's one of those "investigate the science behind the food" kind of shows which looks pretty cool and I love Ted so it should be interesting. I miss Queer Eye too, btw.

Oh, and I saw an episode last week of Ina making some sort of fudge or brownies and I think she used almost a pound of butter but that chocolate looked GOOD.

My favorite is Giada and her recipes are pretty good. Also, on the note of ordering a heart attack I heard about a place that batters bacon and then deep fries it!

My grandmother told me the other day she was watching Food Network and she can't remember the show but the people on the show deep fried hot dogs. Eww.

Now I can't help but declare my love for the food network. Watching it always makes me hungry, but oh goodness the bf and I can't help it, its so entertaining.

Fav show hands down is good eats. Whenever my bf (who is a certified train chef) whips out a gadget he assures me that its AB approved. I can watch his show for hours, he is so witty and full of incite. My one gripe is that he makes certain things so gosh darned complicated. I get it, we are focusing on one food, but the things he does to it- waaaay too many steps. You can also tell he is a southern boy, he likes his full fat foods.

Ina puts me straight to sleep. Her voice is so monotone and her face to me just seems emotionless. Ugh! French food is too rich for me so I couldn't make her recipes even if I wanted to.

Giada seems like a real sweetheart. She is very down to earth despite coming from such a famous family. When you guys talk about her cleavage do you all know she had a boob job. You can really tell if you look from season 1 to now. Italian food is another type of food too rich for me so I can't comment there. And goodness how is she so darned thin eating all that cheese and pasta?! I want her metabolism.

Paula is awesome. I wouldn't touch her food with a ten foot pole but goodness she is entertaining. Have you guys heard her mouth, she is one horny old lady. Very cheeky but I love it. I could watch Paula's party for hours, and I definitely prefer her in that talk show type format to her traditional cooking in her house shows.

Don't hate on Rachael Ray, I think she seems really nice. Yes she is perky, but who wants a cranky cooking show host. Her personality has gotten her far, and her cooking abilities are just like the avg persons so her food is very no frills but doable. Props to her for making her name an empire.

Sandra is another rail thin one. I don't know if I believe that she eats/drinks some of the things she makes. She is also more party planner than cook, do we all notice that? And i do think the woman is a lush, lol.

Guy Fieri? Ugh, he is another one that gets on my nerves. I can't stand how he says his last name. Yeah, we get he is Italian. Let me start speaking with a Russian accent when I say my name. And the glasses in the back of the head, i wanna slap them off! URG!

Hmmm, Emeril bores me and his food is too frilly and rich. Mario seems like a huge teddy bear- so down to earth and affable. Bobby Flay, seems every bit the smug one. Don't like him much.

Ooh, I was so thrilled to see this thread, I'm a total food network junkie. For some reason, i LOVE the cake decorating challenge shows.

LOL @ Paula's breakfast donut. I saw one episode where she made these sour cream muffins that literally contained a pound of butter. I knew they were artery-hardening when she said, "These are the only muffin I don't put extra butter on."

NICE! Really? Krispy Kreme donut casserole? Why not just eat a cup of sugar melted with some butter? Ew.

Ok, no offense to anyone who loves Paula's food, but I just flipped on to her show again and she's making a HAM AND BANANA CASSEROLE!
throwup.gif

I have never liked bananas, even as a kid, so the thought of this casserole really makes me feek kinda barfy. She's just topped it with cheddar cheese. Eww. Eww. Eww.
Don't get me wrong. There have been quite a few things I've seen her make that look damn tasty. But this? No thanks.
I caught the tail end of Ina. She actually had on a violet shirt. It was shocking seeing her in something other than white or black.

^^ That sounds disgusting! As much as I love Giada, she once made a Panini sandwich with bittersweet chocolate, some kind of cheese, and basil. Sounds gross to me!! Rachel Ray makes a lot of recipes that make me go WTF is that??

That sounds like Giada! If it's got basil you can pretty much bet she created the recipe.
I forgot to mention that I really like watching Simply Delicioso with Ingrid Hoffman. She seems fun. I've caught a few shows with Danny Boome or whatever his last name is on Saturdays and he seems cool. I read that Giada is going to have a new show called At Home with Giada so I don't know if Everyday Italian will still be filmed, but the new show is supposed to feature new recipes and will be filmed from her house, I think. Looking forward to seeing it!

I remember watching Paula baking red velvet cake on Oprah show, and the ingredients including 2 sticks of butter, Oprah obviously can't believe that and keep asking 2 sticks of butter?? 2 sticks of butter? then Paula was quiet for a couple of seconds and answered: well, I am just a cook, not a doctor. so funny

That Food Detectives show started with Ted as host from the Queer Eye show. They did a test on the "5 second rule" and uh, yeah. GROSS!! I really never ate anything I dropped, but it turned out that stuff dropped on just a DESK had more bacteria growing on it than the floor!! So, I won't be eating anything I drop on my desk. Ew.

I love Alton Brown's show, Iron Chef when it's creative (sometimes, they choose stupid ingredients that are too easy or too bizarre for the dessert), Ace of Cakes, and Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. I like the one with Mark Sommers on it too. I forget what it's called. I heart Food Network, especially the shows where I can learn stuff and steal it for my own cooking. I don't know why the "normal" shows don't appear to me, like Paula or Giada.

I used to dislike Bobby Flay, until he had his Throwdown show. He's remarkably humble on it. I don't know if it's a reflection of how he's changed or it just shows him in a different light, but he seems cool.

Unwrapped! I love that show with Mark Sommers. I also don't watch any of the "normal" shows.

But I cannot stand Bobby Flay. Ever since I saw him dancing on the counters when he beat one of the original Iron Chefs, I've wanted to punch him. I did enjoy watching him get beaten by a Marine out in the desert in SoCal on one of the Throwdowns
