1. Love Alton Brown, such a geek, just like me and Hubby.
Can't stand anyone else.

2. Looooove Alton Brown ...
Agree with most of your favorites but add the Unwrapped guy - whatshizname?

Rachael Ray - she's alright but looks like she orgasms after every bite.

I like Emeril, don't watche Bobby Flay at all.

My favorite show is Food Festivals, least is Iron Chef

4. Alton Brown is probably the only reason I watch F/N.
Unwrapped is OK sometimes and then there is the occasional special programming that interests me.

6. My Faves
Faves
Alton Brown (very educational)
Ina Garten (Love her and Jeffrey together!)
Tyler (can he do a show with his shirt off?) Florence
Semi-Homemade lady - fun and easy stuff.
Mario (needs a diet)
The new guy Jim O'Connor - HOT HOT HOT!
Rachael Ray (Great tips! - I love the garbage bowl idea)

Least
Paul Dean (lost me when she put swiss cheese in her lasagna!)
Emeril and Bobby Flay (too much about them - and less about the food)
Sara Moulton (too much saliva, drool going on)
Cooking Works lady - too much like school. Yuck.

7. Whos that chick
that hosts that show about eating on 40 dollars a day? I don't like her. She's too enthusiastic about everything. At some "Mexican" restaraunt: "Ooh and authentic Mexican breakfast"

At a greasy spoon: "Oooh, this is the best coffee ever"

8. I think
Rachel Ray and Giada De Laurentis are beautiful.
I like Emeril too cause he cooks the food I like to eat, but he is a little predictable.
I like Bobby Flay cause he travels.

10. Mine's a bit different...
Edited on Fri Nov-19-04 02:43 PM by HerbieHeadhunter
I love Iron Chef, so mark me down for

Hiroyuki Sakai
Masahiko Kobe
Takeshi Kaga
Masaharu Morimoto
Chen Kenichi
Rokusaburo Michiba
and of course, Chairman Kaga

I also like Alton Brown (very educational), Rachael Ray (sometimes her 30-minute receipes aren't bad), Molto Batali, Bobby Flay, Giada De Laurentiis (her show is shot like a porno...cheesy music and all) and Sara Moulton.

Emeril is unwatchable, as is Paula Dean.

11. I like iron Chef, the original

15. Rachael Ray- if I were an obsessed stalker,
she would be the object of my affection. She's adorably annoying.
Least favorite: Bobby Flay. Just comes across as a smug jackass.

16. Rachael Ray...
I had some furniture delivered a few weeks ago. The delivery guys were drooling on my TV watching Rachael.

Regular guys LOVE her. She's sexy in a non-threatening way.

18. Excellent assessment!
That's why I cringed when I saw her FHM layout. It was just way too blatant.

17. I love Tyler Florence!
And yes, I will admit I like Mario Batali, also. I like the Molto Mario show.

I like Emeril, but I like him best on the old Essence Of Emeril reruns, before he got so famous he didn't know what to do. I'm not normally a big fan of Mark Summers, but Unwrapped is so much fun, that I like him on that show. I like Jill Cordes and Marc Silverstein from The Best Of.

The only Food Network person I really *don't* like is Bobby Flay. He bugs the living daylights out of me.
