Cooking Shows

Mario? Emeril? Tyler? Paula? Giada? Ina? Bobby?

Which shows do you like and have you tried to recreate any recipes? I did a Mario egg recipe today and it came out great!

 

Like Lidia Bastianich and America's Test Kitchen. Barefoot Contessa , and Nick Stellino are also good .

 

I must admit, I'm addicted to some of them. Watching "Throwdown with Bobby Flay" now. My favorite is "Chopped" the chefs have to be really creative. Of course "Diners, Drive Inns and Dives" may not be considered a cooking show, but I like it. I also like "Bar B Que Pitmasters" and watch "Private Chefs of Beverly Hills" because the female chefs are hot.

 

I like Ina. But I also like Alton Brown...

 

I did Ina's T-day turkey (with a slight variation) along with her exact stuffing recipe this year.

Best I have ever made!

 

Good Eats gets DVRed, have over a dozen episodes I should watch or delete.

Top Chef, I've seen every single episode. Love this show.

Chopped occassionally when its on late at night.

Tyler's Ultimate, I've snagged some great recipes off the show.

 

Good Eat's is regularly watched and DVR'd.

I like Bobby Flay, Guy, and of course Giada.

 

I like the F Word by Gordon Ramsay (BBC America).

 

Favorite is Alton Brown because I love the technical side of it.

Then it's Giada because I love the breasticular hotness side of that show.


I've tried a few of Alton's recipes - some are pretty good, but I think he misses on a few sometimes.

 

Don't care much for the food but I'll watch Nigella when bored......

Diners, Drive In's & Dives is fun to watch.

The SNL parody of him was hilarious. He gets annoying sometimes.

I like Unwrapped too, although not a cooking show.

 

Ate at the Rendezvous BBQ in Memphis over the weekend. Can't say I care much for Memphis BBQ after that. Most of Guy's suggestions that we have tried have been flops.

 

I've ate at Matt's Big Breakfast before it was on his show, I've heard that due to his show, they've diminished in quality due to serving way more people. I haven't gone back since it's a little out of my way, but I hope it's still as good as it was when I first went there.

 

I'll have to look that up for next year!

Have you tried his waffle recipe? I did and they came out quite good for me anyways. Most of the recipes I have tried of his have been good. Just my experience though...

 

How can you not love Giada?

 

Giada has a huge head, physically I mean. It is out of proportion, almost alien sized.
Didn't Emirl get the boot?

Rick Bayless is the best, "Mexico - one plate at a time"

 

Sounds like we need to have a fchat get together at Kara's house!

 

If you can get past the fact that it seems like Shaggy from Scooby Doo is hosting the show...

 

I cook a lot from cooking shows. In the last few weeks:

I made Coq au Vin last night from Good Eats. It was good, but it takes two days to make.

I made Hot Brown from Bobby Flays Throw Down. It was very good.

I made Lemon Blossoms from Paula Deens show. Very good.

 

I like this one. A little quirky and country, but that is the point!

I had an idea for a cooking show when I was in radio in Mississippi. It was called "Road Kill Gourmet with Cletus". For some reason, they shot it down.

 

Mario did a braised duck in pasta the other day that looked very hearty and delicious.

Gotta try that one within the next several days.

 

Last I saw, Emiril (was) moved from the Food Network to the Cooking Channel.
