Food Network

I think Bobby Flay is stuck on himself and I refuse to watch him.
Like everyone else here, I can not stand Rachel Ray or Sandra Lee (she looks like she is possessed or something). I will say I like Rachel Ray when she does $40 a day, more for the tips then anything, but any person with half a brain can go to a local restaurant over a chain unless they are really desperate for something to eat.
Sad thing is that on other forums when food network comes up, Bobby Flay, Rachel Ray, and Sandra Lee always come up as the worst to watch, I guess someone out there like them, but I do not know who?!

I call Bobby Flay nipple boy because he always wears these tight shirts that accentuate his nipples
I said right off that bat that Rachael Ray is one of my favorites. And I like Bobby Flay, too.

I've got Comcast (St. Mary's) and it is Channel 66 for us (unless they changed the lineup since I last watched).I like that show, but as with everything else on TV, you need to take it with a grain of salt.

Oh, except for Oprah and her yap the minute you get home.
But I don't WATCH Oprah, I just have the noise on in case there is something I need to see.

My dad smokes turkeys. He has several kinds but cajun is my favorite.
The cajun is awesome, you have good taste

The mighty Al-Sonsie!

Good Eats! I love that one too. The Barefoot Contessa is good, her food is usually not too fussy and she has a lot of good info on entertaining without having a nervous breakdown.
Used to like Paula Deen but she lays it on pretty thick and it got old after a while. Rachel Ray is ok, a bit to relentlessly perky for me though. If you want real authentic Italian the fine living channel has Molto Mario which is interesting to watch if you're really up to making fresh pasta by hand and such.
Who is your favorite?
I love Tyler Florence, Dave Lieberman and Rachael Ray. I'm into normal cooking, not finchy food with too many things going on. Sandra Lee annoys me because I'm always like, why did you get that pre-made when it takes 5 seconds to do it from scratch?
Paula Deen aggravates me with her constant "ya'll"s and Bobby Flay is best when he's throwing down and not being some Iron Chef. Emeril never makes anything I would eat, hardly, and Giada is the same way.
My favorite show is probably Diner, Drive-Ins and Dives, or Ace of Cakes.
(Sorry, people - this is what I watch, along with Fox News
I agree with you, Vria. I like the same stuff.

I watched them do kidney pie and blood pudding. I couldn't ever watch them again. How could they top that? Haggis?
He was actually filming an episode at the Renaissance Festival this year and we happened upon it one Saturday:<img src="http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a315/jazu4ea/Renn%20Fest/ChefIrvine.jpg">
Emeril is a bore now and such a caricature of himself it's not funny. Rachel Ray's screeching annoys me as well as Paula Deen's draaaaaaaaaaaawl. I want to smack the smirk off of Bobby Flay's face although I do like his recipes and his "throw-downs."
I love Chef Duff and his "Ace of Cakes" show as well as Guy Fieri with his "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" show. Their Food Network Challenges are awesome and the creations that they come up with are amazing. Alton Brown is a trip, both entertaining and informative.
I did enjoy watching "The Next Iron Chef" series although I missed quite a few of the episodes. I did manage to catch the last few minutes of the finale and was happy that Michael Symon won instead of that arrogant guy John Besh.

Humorous Observations
Paula Dean's recipes are horrible. I am so sick of the "Good Old Girl" routine. We made some kind of crab dish, and it was a waste of good crab meat. Then we made a squash dish along with the crab and that stunk, too. I haven't talked with anyone who ever made a Paula dish and thought it was good.
