    There was one I saw about a year ago.. it was always on early in the morning. It was this pretty lady who would always make me so relaxed with her descriptions. I wish I could remember her name. She was the Bob Ross of cooking though...

    I have a very strange crush on Alton Brown.

    it's the quirky nerdiness...
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I really like Bobby Flay as a chef, just not so much of a TV personality. Sucks that he's on EVERY damn FoodNetwork program now! :lol:

    no doubt great chef... great at BBQ, But I seen him doing iron chef with Giada Vs. Rachael Ray and Mario Batali. He was a prick to Giada the whole show and ever since then haven't liked him. I pick up on his arrogance everytime I see him on TV. Cant watch him.

    Also loved that show, Heat Seakers- Aaron Sanchez and Roger Mooking ... went around challenging each other to eat spicy foods. very funny i thought but short lived show.

    old school show but a good one on pbs i believe
  • rearviewrossrearviewross Posts: 3,055
    I watch a ton of these shows too. I like DDD but cant stand Guy or anyone that wears sunglasses as an indoor accessory. :nono: I also like Man Vs Food, Adam is funny. Like previously stated, anything with Ramsey except I stopped watching Hells Kitchen, too much of the same thing every season. Restaurant impossible is decent, kind of a poor mans Kitchen NIghtmares. Bar rescue is pretty interesting too. I got sucked into watching an episode of Car Lot Rescue, seriously... I need help. :oops: :fp:

    As far as actual cooking shows, I like Secrets of a restaurant chef and Giada. Really just depends on what they are making weather or not I watch.

    My wife has been watching "The Taste," so I caught a bit of that. Not my thing, really.

    I watch Triple-D and MVF because for some reason I think that one of these days I'll actually be able to take a vacation, and the places featured on those shows have my type of food/restaurants on them. So, I can seek out the place with the three-alarm, ass-on-fire pulled buffalo chicken sandwich with blue cheese french fries and slaw on the inside whenever I'm on the south side of Whereversville. I could do without both hosts, and I don't even watch the challenge part of MVF.

    I'm surprised and a little disappointed that we're a couple pages in and no one has posted smokin' hot photos of Giada yet.
