Food Network/Bravo is making me FAT!

Is anyone watching Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares? I saw a few episodes of this in England this past summer, and now he is doing an American version. I know he has a foul mouth and a violent temper. I've never watched Hell's Kitchen cause watching a grown man yell at and demean people and throw pots and pans isn't my idea of entertainment. But so far he has been absolutely spot on with his observations and criticisms of some of the American eating establishments he has visited and turned around. He seems very perceptive about the weak spots at each restaurant and knows exactly who to point the finger at!

Cooking Shows - What's Your Favorite?
Q
Comments (17)
Barefoot Contessa when it's not a repeat, but it almost always is a repeat, Michael Chiarella's show, but it's not on as much as it used to be., Molto Mario, and Everyday Italian - can you tell I like Italian food? Like everyone else, I've all but quit watching the go to restaurants and eat network, aka the food network. I keep forgetting to set up the recorder on Saturdays to tape America's Test Kitchen. there was one Saturday I was working from home, so I looked up when it would be on, and what else might be on PBS that day. Sadly, most of the cooking shows are gone from their lineup. I used to love Jaques Pepin, but his show wasn't on the schedule. I like Top Chef, Iron Chef, and some of the competition shows, but that guy on Hell's Kitchen should really consider anger management counseling. I just don't get why anyone would want to work for him, much less consider that being a prize to strive for. They should make the losers be the ones to have to be executive chef at his restaurant. I really think his behavior borders on criminal, but since that show has got to be as real as championship wrestling, I imagine he'll never serve time for his behavior, since it's all probably an act. At least I hope so. I sure hope he doesn't treat his family that way. Sally

Pro-Style Ranges -- Really Needed for a Serious Cook?
Q
Comments (28)
Not a "great cook" here but I cook a lot. Have a Blue Star RNB that I bought for very specific reasons that do not all have to do with cooking. I liked the looks, it fit in my old-house kitchen, loved the "Garland" burners. I admit it -- I liked the vibe of the stove. I liked its old fashioned no frills aesthetic, and I was also smitten by the idea of having a color. I do love having the power when I need it, and I do love the control. When you are making dinner for people and they are all standing around in the kitchen, it is nice to be able to get the pasta water up to a boil quickly. The simmer burner is excellent. I like flames. In a new house kitchen I would have chosen induction. But in this house the Blue Star is a perfect fit. One of the reasons I chose the Blue Star is that it is easy to completely dismantle the entire stove top and clean. That has continued to be a very appreciated feature because if you cook a lot, you clean a lot. I also found Iove being able to put full size trays in the oven because we make biscotti and granola on a regular basis. So my answer is -- buy a range that meets your very particular needs, both aesthetic and culinary, whether it is a professional range or not.

Is Nancy Fuller on Food Network a bit too excited about alcohol?
Q
Comments (27)
Just because someone enjoys a drink doesn't make them an alcoholic, but alcoholism is complex. Not all alcoholics hide their drinking, some, like my ex, just don't care. His job wasn't impacted because he owned the business. He didn't drive around, so he didn't get arrested. I took care of the kids so that wasn't an issue. He bought a shirt that said "I'm not an alcoholic, alcoholics attend meetings. I'm a drunk." My ex still drinks every day but now he owns a health food store, so he will "sneak" a drink or two in the afternoon, and then he drinks all evening. My Mother drinks a glass of red wine in the evening and it takes her about 3 hours to drink it. She doesn't NEED it and doesn't get annoyed if she doesn't have it, but she likes it and there's always a bottle of Paul Newman wine in her house because she's an 83 year old fan-girl, LOL. My Dad said nothing tasted better than a cold beer when it was really hot outside. My son in law goes out for a drink with the guys after work once a week but never drinks at home. There are different "types" of drinkers just as there are different types of alcoholics. It's something about all people being different. I don't think that Sooz was being particularly insulting or judgmental, just that she thought the excitement was a little over done. Since the Food Network is made up of people who aren't actors, I'm guessing that they are told to convey a certain "persona" and some of them just aren't very good at it. I've always thought that "reality television" isn't real and it's just a way to entertain us without having to hire real actors. What else could explain the Kardashians, Honey BooBoo or Duck Dynasty? (That last was a rhetorical question and doesn't really require an answer, LOL) Annie

Interesting, we'll see how it goes. I love both Rach and Guy, only recognize two of the so called celebs, Lou Diamond Phillips and Cheech. The little blonde kid is really lost.

I thought it was cute and light. But I won't worry if I miss an episode.

Tuned in a bit, but I just don't care for Racheal or Guy. I know a guy who was in one of the restaurants where Guy was filming his diners & dives show (something like that name) and he was a total ego maniac a$$ hole. Wouldn't talk to the "common" folk unless the camera was on.

Rather lackluster, I don't know that I would make a special point to watch it again.

That's disappointing, Dotmom, and the polar opposite of what I heard from the guys in Pittsburgh. Wonder which is the real Guy.

Dang, missed it. I love the food channel! Love both Guy and Rachael Ray. Oh well, maybe next time!

I only recognized Cheech and LDP too. I was hoping the crotch-grabbing, rapper guy would go first. He'll drive me crazy. And that lady with the lips - I had to turn away from the TV when she was talking because her lips didn't move with her words. What is her "celebrity"? Felt sorry for the kid that went first. Way out of his element. Give him kudos for trying though.

Not Food Networks best effort, in my opinion. Guy has been here twice doing his shows, and the only negetive I heard was he didn't really participate until the final filming was done. Even the corvette showed up seperatly in a car van.I wish they would come up with something different that the same competitions and obnoxious hosts. They lost their creativity along the way, for my tastes.

Missed it,darn, but I bet they'll show re-runs later this week. I do like both of them. Lots of energy. maybe not the best food.

For those that missed it, you didn't miss much. However, check your schedule of the Food Network, mine shows a repeat on Wednesday at 11:00 p.m.
