34. He says, Now we are going to cook with testicle of goat sausage
Edited on Sat Dec-11-04 09:09 AM by The Flaming Red Head

Purchased at a small market in Italy. You can not find this in the US how ever the testicles of any cloven domestic animal will do. And he always has at least one transvestite taste tester in his audience and never a pretty one.

2. Bobby Flay just annoys me.
Is Jamie Oliver even being shown on Food Network anymore?

8. He's Listed on The Web Site
I was just there to make sure I spelled all the names right.

The main problem I have with Bobby Flay is that he's an obnoxious jerk. And the problem I have with Jamie Oliver is that he NEVER WASHES HIS HANDS!!!!!

He makes me want to treat him like dirt.

Emeril is good wacky fun, in my book. Bobby Flay I find irritating.

43. I watched her for the first time yesterday.
It was a Semi-Homemade Christmas Dinner or some such. They seemed to be good shortcut tricks for people who really don't have much time or cooking skill, and she included a recipe for an egg nog/brandy/ice cream drink that sounded good, but otherwise I was unimpressed.

Though for some reason hetero men everywhere desire her.

31. Rachel is fun to watch, but her "30 Minute Meals" show is totally bogus
Her stove must be a lot hotter than mine, because I can never bring a gallon of water to boil in 3 minutes like she does.

Same with rice. She can cook rice from start to finish in 6 minutes, when every recipe I've seen for it calls for 15 to 20 minutes.

Plus, it's so obvious she cheats when she goes to a commercial break. When she comes back, about 20 minutes worth of work is done!

She doesn't use proper amounts of ingredients in her recipes or even seem to know her way around a kitchen.

42. Rice in 6 minutes?
Is it instant rice? I won't eat instant rice. I don't like it. It takes me 15 minutes to cook rice AFTER it comes to the boil, so probably 20 or so minutes total. And that's just white rice; can't do brown rice that fast.

She could make THIS hetero guy want to "wash-up" ALL the time!

Any Lesbians wanna check in on how Rachel scores on the "I'd do her" meter?

Huh....Why didn't the photo editor move that roll-off dumpster from the patio outside?
And why did a guy like ME even notice it?

And I'm tired of being lectured to about the damn knobs. He gets way too condescending on his show.

36. I don't like
the Alton Brown guy (Good Eats), or Emeril, or Tyler Florence (Food 911), or Michael Chiarello. I wouldn't want to eat with any of these guys. And I'm tired of people making such a big effing deal about garlic and cayenne and Bam! Chiarello seems like a real food snot to me.

I LOVE Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa. She seems like such a genuine and loving person. I also like Everyday Italian with Giada Something, and I like Rachel Ray. I also like Mario.

Paula Dean is fine, but her meals are too heavy for my tastes. My mother-in-law made a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner, but she overdid it as well, with too many heavy ingredients added to dishes. The turkey and dressing were wonderful, and green bean casserole was expected (but too heavy), but she also did sweet potatoes with the sugar and pecans and marshmallows. I love sweet potatoes, but it was too rich altogether. It seems like Paula puts together the same type of meals.

38. The woman that does the dietic, slim coking (can't remember name) She is
so in love with herself that I'm embarressed for her. Haven't watched the show in ages for that reason, and she might not even still be on.

45. Masaharu Morimoto
I don't like his cowboy cooking attitude that he picked up in New York. Also, I find his silver outfit to be garish compared those of the other Iron Chefs. He is not fit to take the place of the beloved Rokusaburo Michiba.

I LOVE it when he gets his ham canned but GOOD. You're right, Michiba-san he ain't.
He's the Japanese Bobby Flay.
