First of all, this is a great discussion.

Secondly, I despise Bobby Flay with a passion. The first time I saw an ad for "Iron Chef America" I almost vomited. Am I the only one who thinks he doesn't deserve to be on that show? He's a decent cook but all he ever did was have a couple of crappy shows with ignorant sidekicks like that redneck from chillin and grillin, and Jackie Malouf (who I actually hate more than Flay himself). Maybe what bothers me is the fact that he's so cocky because he cooks food on TV. The fact that they made him an Iron Chef truly makes me sick. It has to be staged, because the only "battle" he could actually win would be if the secret ingredient was BLUE CORN. I'm sorry, southwestern food is good, but it is not a cuisine worthy of being featured on Iron Chef, and Bobby Flay isn't worthy of being a judge on that show. Whew, I feel better.

I rambled there so I'll sum up quickly.

Hate:
Bobby Flay
Barefoot Contessa
Al Roker
Marc Summers
Emeril
That idiot Jack what's her name from "How to Boil Water"
Anyone who hosts dinner parties

Like:
Rachel Ray (completely un-arrogant, consistently creates good easy meals)
Tyler Florence (Greenville, SC native)
Paula Dean (how could you not love her)
Ming Tsai (old school Food Network)
Mario (a little too arrogant but really good)
Alton Brown (I've never once used one of his recipes but I always learn something that makes my cooking better)

Oh, and I can't believe nobody mentioned Giadas' huge melon. She looks like a BOBBLE-HEAD doll. I swear to god every time I watch her show I could swear they use a fish-eye lens in the camera.

And did I mention I hate Bobby Flay?
