Food Network Fans???
 

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. :D

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

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.

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

wife has it on all the time. Not me!

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

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. :tu

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

I loved Good Eats when it was on regularly.

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

Love the FNC.

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

I like to watch. I have been liking Iron Chef more and more....

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

Watched it today... freakin' love that show!

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

Used to watch a lot, seems crappier now days. Should check it out again though.

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

This along with DDD are great shows. I love Friday and Monday nights when DDD marathons are on.

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

I love Diners Drive-Ins and Dives and though not on the food network Man v food.

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:r:r:r

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

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

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

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

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

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.

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

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

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

haha you wanna get her feet like her ex used to :tu

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

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??:r:r

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

Skinny? :r :r

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

I love the food network but the cable package you need to buy to get it makes it cost prohibitive right now. I sure do miss it though! I could watch kitchen stadium for days!!

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

this thread makes me miss having cable

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

Makes me miss having cake!

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

Heather just made home made from scratch blueberry cheese cake. maybe i can get her to make one for shack.

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

:dr:dr:dr

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

One???!!!!:confused:;):D:sl

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

I'm with Chainsaw on this one. I used to watch it all the time, however it has now been taken over by crappy reality shows that I cannot stand.
I love DDD, Iron Chef, Poineer Woman and Giada. The rest of the time I watch shows on the Cooking Channel.

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

I was worried you were going to put Paula Deen in there, too!!!! :pu

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

Love watching the Food Network.

Rachel Ray grew up and got her start not too far from me.

Love The Food Network :)

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

Giada!

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

This.

Also along with chopped and DDD I get really into restaurant impossible. I can't stand the guy on the show but my family has been in restaurants for over 50 years and I'm the fourth generation of my family to be a part of the business so that show makes me very thankful we haven't had it as bad as a lot of those families.

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

I love Triple D because it gives us ideas on different places to eat when we travel.

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

Love Food Network, Cooking Channel ... all of them. I've been on a diet and it almost seems like watching something forbiden.

Re: Food Network Fans???
 

First off Claire Robinson... smoking...

Anyways I love the food network. Best thing I ever ate/made, good eats, chopped.

I think the person I like to watch cook the most is Ina Garten. I think everything she makes is awesome.

Also when I was in Boston we had the cooking channel, which unfortunately I don't get at home, because it was equally amazing.
