Anyone else here addicted to the Food Network? I can't take my eyes off Chopped and Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. Has given me some awesome ideas for the kitchen.

On another note...Amanda Freitag, Aarti Sequeira, Maneet Chauhan, and Rachel Ray become sexier the more I watch. :-)

I watch when I can. I have actually sought out some of the places and they are pretty good!!! And I too try some of the stuff at home.

Big fan of most of their shows. Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and Chopped are probably my two favorite shows as well. I also like most of Bobby Flay's grilling shows and his Throwdown show. :-)

Maybe it's the foodie in me, or reading Bourdains books/blog, but how can people take Food Network seriously? I know many people watch it, but I think it's for the sexy hosts and not the food. That's fine, but how can you call Paula Deen a chef:-):-):-)

I had and still do have a huge crush on her. I love watching the food network except it just makes me so hungry :-)

I want to punish Rachel Ray, wait... what?

I used to be a big watcher of most things on the Food Network. But ever since they've changed their format to more "reality" based shows/competitions, I've lost interest. I will occassionaly watch DDD to see some of the places he goes to since I travel a lot for work. I've gone to a few of the spots featured on the show and have really liked them.

For me, The Cooking Channel, is more like what FN used to be. (although TCC is almost FN-Canada).

Ray-Ray used to be cute. Then they made her over and she started to become a charicature (sp?) of herself. Especially the "Joker" period. Look at some of her pics next to pics of Jack Nicholson as the Joker. Too uncanny of a resemblence.

Not sure I'd call her a chef...but the woman does cook some amazing "down home country food".
[Reply]

haha you wanna get her feet like her ex used to :-)
[Reply]

I could call her many things, but a chef is not one of them:-)

If Paula couldn't cook with butter or fry her crappy food, what would she be??:-):-)
[Reply]

Skinny? :-) :-)
