Love the food channel...love food shows, period.

-Molto Mario is a favorite. Guy loves to cook italian food, all his bowls and various 'accoutrement' are super colorful and have these cool, bold 'italian' designs. Vain son of a bitch. Can talk his ass off. Wins "Best Kibbitzer Award in a Cooking Show".

-God bless Paula Deen. She's such a sweet, happy-go-lucky southern gal. Can't stand her show.

-Sara Moulton is like watching a dripping faucet. Astonishing how she drains every last bit of joy out of cooking. It's like watching someone sew.

-emeril
Don't care for the campy, obnoxious audience "cook-along" theme, but I like emeril. Super friendly, authentic, enthusiastic kinda guy who loves to cook. Handles everything in the kitchen with loving care, which I like a lot. Ate in his restaraunt, "Delmonico" in New Orleans and it was phenomenal. He's the real deal.

-bobby flay
Ditto. Too full of himself. Obnoxious, and brutal with the food, like its a chore. If Vegas ever runs a cooking show on stage, Flay will be their man.

-rachael ray
Hehe. Definitely an acquired taste. I didn't care for her at all at first, then I found out she was Sicilian and it all made sense. I like her now, she can't help herself. Alpha female. Vibrant and hyper-enthusiastic, and pulls it off with charm. I like watching her 'on location' in the real world when she visits restaraunts. I bet she's great in bed.

-giada de laurentis
Unwatchable. Cooking food is an art, not a damn beauty pageant. She needs to host an 'E" Entertainment show instead.

-jaime oliver... the "naked chef" dude
He's...another acquired taste. I don't care for his informal "freestyle" cooking method, flipping pepper mills like a bartender flips rum bottles. That's what he reminds me of - more a bartender parading around than a cook. Seems like a good kid though. Hehe.

-ming tsai
A dry, corporate-like FoodBot. And I LOVE chinese cooking/wok shows.

-alton brown
Oy vey this guy is obnoxious (sorry irate...) I can't tell if I'm watching a food show or Sesame Street.

-barefoot contessa
She bugs me too. She seems too damn happy about everything in general. Smiles when shes grating cheese. And she drives a BMW Convertible. I bet she drops a lot of Xanax.
