Food Network/Bravo is making me FAT!
Comments (16)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!...See MoreCapital Culinarian on Food Network
Comments (25)I never miss a Chopped. It will be interesting to see if with the new Culinarians, many of the problems some chefs have had will continue, such as inability to get a good sear and difficulties getting oil to the proper temperature quickly. If so I guess we can assume it's chef error, not inferior equipment. Just an aside, but I was so disappointed to see Wayne eliminated in the first round of the Champions competition this week for not completing his dish. You could tell the judges were, too. The salad he completed was the best food they tasted....See MoreDirection of the Food Network
Comments (57)I happened on this site and enjoyed reading the comments about the direction of the food network. I too used to be a real fan of the network, but do not watch it on a regular basis. I chalked it up to m y life getting busier and TiVO, but that knew those weren't the only reasons b/c when I catch Julia or Jaques or Lidia on TV, I find myself sitting there and watching. Can't say that about the shows on the FN. I do like Giada, Ina (think b/c onf the calming nature of their shows, Giada's style and the fact that I actually do learn something and have tried and like their recipes). I also like Nigella b/c of the naughtly, yet subltle "not obvious" sensual way she has with preparing food. These 3 are my fav's b/c I actually learn something and have tried their recipes. I even like ole' martha b/c of the same reason. I am a black woman who grew up in a fairyly "boustrius" family in the bronx during the 60's and 70's. I and my family used to LOVE watching Julia Child (I commonly referred to her as "the cooking lady") on the "ups" channel 13 in NY, on a black and white t.v., grainy picture and all. How is it that "the cooking lady" could command the attention of my family and I is beyond me, but I think it had to do with her voice, precesne and the fact that we actually LEARNED something. Juslia also had a dry sense of humor and thought nothing of bringing out a blow torch, goggles and all, in a couple of the earlier episodes. I thankfully have most of her videos and watch them as my life permits. I am glad FN is reconizing the need for diversity, but the Neely's, sorry to say, are not the answer. I confess tat I only watch the episodes that feature one or more Neely men. Gina's over the top, swinging of the fake hair, need for attention attitude/behavior and screechy/baby voice drives me nuts. I don't need a FN "personality" telling me how/what to do w/my man in the kitchen...I have that covered just fine, thank you. PLEASE FOOD NETWORK, if you are reading this, LET THE NEELY MEN HAVE THEIR OWN SHOW WITH OUT GINA NEELY!!! P.S. Thanks to the "Eric08" that forwarded the link to the Tony Bourdain commentary. It cracked my up. Tony is another of my favorite chefs. Unapologetically real....See MoreNext Food Network Star grrrrr
Comments (5)Yep Penny definitely has attitude. Yeah attitude, that's it. LOL The women this time are getting on my nerve with the whining they do. The scene from next week when Penny meow/cat snarls at the other woman made me laugh. If she doesn't step up the showmanship next week I'll bet she'll be gone. Last nights show was good. I'm really wanting to try the cole slaw I don't care that much for mayo either but I like creamy dressing on slaw. Even though it is still early in the game I'm guessing Susie and Vic for finalists. Both excellent chefs just need to get that TV-face and personality up and running. I think they are both intelligent, serious about making the grade and acting professional. LIL...See Moresushipup1
