Only half? Every time I watch any of those shows I want to eat everything in sight.

I like Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations but I think that's now on either discovery or travel.

Diners Drive-ins and Dives makes me so hungry.


LOL! When my GF's parents went to California on Vacation last year, they took a list of places from Triple-D's ... they drove from Colorado to San Francisco.. and stopped at about a dozen places on the list.

I am envious. I think I would actually consider a vacation plan around that if I couldn't think of anything else.

Whenever I go to a new city for whatever reason, if I have enough time, I try and hit some of the places from the show.

So far they've all been pretty damn good.

Last week I was in Dallas and went to Twisted Root Burger, which was on there and was rated the best burger in Texas, it was very good.

Guy Fieri has the best job in all of TV, possibly the best job in the world. He just drives around and eats at dives. I usually look up places the show has hit if I'm going somewhere.

Alton Brown makes good shows too.

Everyone else, I can take or leave. Chopped is one of those shows that drives me nuts. Four cocky contestants, three arrogant judges, and an entirely stupid concept. "Ok folks. The basket has - pasta, tomatoes, garlic, and a leather boot!"

I believe I've seen all of his "Guy's Big Bite" episodes, and I don't recall him ever uttering the word "douchebag", let alone screaming it. :sneaky:

More AB (Good Eats might be the best show in the history of television), less Guy (Triple-D rocks, but it'd be better with less Guy), and no more Rachel Ray or Sandra Lee ever. They both need fired, then drawn and quartered.

And Giada just needs to get over it and start doing porn already. Her entire show is about her cleavage.

Agree. AB makes Iron Chef America fun.

I'm strangely addicted to Unwrapped. I like Bobby Flay but hate his Throwdown. Most of the cooking show have gotten boring and repetitive - how many times can barefoot contessa, the lady with no hair, the nice young black couple, and so on, make the same darned things with their fancy kitchens? Paula Deen started out interesting, now she's creepy.

How did cake shows get to be popular? I turn them off. And if I ever see that creepy lady who judges them all, I may get violent on her - what a loony. The contest shows are such a waste of time.

When Food Network is good, it's very good. But there's a lot of bad stuff there.

You say that like it's a bad thing?

The only tolerable person on that entire network is Bobby Flay.

Everyone else makes me extremely irritated, ESPECIALLY Alton Brown, Guy Fieri, Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrron Sanchez (who just has to keep it real for the Latins every goddamn time he opens his mouth) and Duff that aging douchebag from Ace of Cakes.
