(Excuse any typos, I’m in a hurry but not enough of one to not bitch for a moment)
We’ve been watching Food Network since its inception and always loved these charismatic chefs they chose. We were die hard Emeril fans and I admit the last 2 years of his show on FN, we slacked off being as regular viewers as we once were. When they had Bobby Flay on neither of us cared for him because he just came off as an arrogant tool. I think he’s softened a bit but the man thinks he’s still full on tool. I, like many people, just loved Paula Deen when she came to the network. It was like watching your down home grandma make your favorite comfort foods. After her ballooning in success, it seemed ol’ Paula was everywhere and her accent seemed more and more grating to the point, I can’t even watch her anymore without changing it halfway through. This accent has ruined us for Down Home with the Neeleys between their accent and their constant dry humping, I’ve yet to make it through a whole episode without muting or saying “that’s enough.” Then you have Giada DeLaurentis. Petite, all teeth and forehead, Giada. We loved her show more for the beautiful way it was shot and the man liked watching her boobies the whole time. As time has gone on, her head has gotten bigger and her bitchiness has come through quite a few times. Well a perfect example was Oprah yesterday. She was on with Oprah and that Nate dude and made some disgusting brie, basil and chocolate panini. Nate was very polite and even took a 2nd piece which you knew he’d probably “accidentally” drop, Oprah called it “interesting” and then upped it to good when Giada was getting visibly pissed they weren’t fawning over her childhood nosh. Then they gave it to the audience and she asked them what they though and you didn’t get an overwhelming “Mmm” or clapping or anything, you could just hear a few “interesting’s” or random noises. (I’m sure they edited out the sounds of people horking it back up) She was not a pleased little diva. Two of the few “old standbys” that I still like is Alton Brown’s Good Eats and Ina Garten’s Barefoot Contessa. Now yes, Alton can get a tad annoying at times but overall his show is so entertaining, we overlook it. Ina, I really should loathe given she’s showing off her Hampton snoot which should make her completely unrelatable to 90% of her viewers but somehow she still reels me in with the good recipes.
