What’s your fav show? I’m a big fan of Alton Brown, Mr. Flay and Paula Dean though her cooking could easily send me too the Humalog of the month club…
LOL You crack me up tim!
Well as I told you on IM, I love watching Paula Dean, but I also like watching that show where Bobby Flay challenges other cooks. Cant remember what its called,
Not a fan of Alton Brown though lol
You have to love Mr. Science. He is a bit strange for some reason i can’t stand Guy Fierei. Btw that show is Throw down with Bobby Flay right now he’s making blueberry pancakes…
Nahh… lol. Oh yea thats it! Good show! So thats where you are watching him make his blueberry pancakes? lol
Indeed he’s on right now… As i watch i’m thinking in terms of counting carbs… Diabetes has made me really good at math…
LOL
Now that got my attention. Ahh yes, I like Bobby Flay. I also adore Mario Batali (great chef and amazing sense of humor!). I like Iron Chef, Jamie Oliver, Nigella Express and Barefoot Contessa.
Tyler Florence for me…(eye Candy 0 carbs Ladies…lol ) Whilst U learn whatever it is. that he is doing…
unless hells kitchen counts… come on the people they cook for eat COURSES meaning practically 3 meals plus, then again they are quite tiny sometimes.
I really lilke the Barefoot Contessa but my favorite is Ace of Cakes.
The title of this thread had me LMAO!! Hysterical!
I love Diners, Drive ins and Dives, too. I also like The Next Food Network Star, and the other show that is a competition show that Guy Fieri hosts (Ultimate recipe showdown???).
I know many find her annoying, but I do like to watch Racheal Ray every now and then. Her stuff is easy to make, and is good! I just wish Food Network execs would try to include nutritional info for a lot of the recipes posted on their site, in cookbooks, etc. Maybe I’m being selfish for us, but it would make life a lot easier when it came to carb counting!
I love Iron Chef! My favorite cooking shows are on PBS - Jacques Pepin’s “Fast Food My Way” is generally very healthy, and he’s so wonderful. Ming Tsai, Lydia, Colameco, Anthony Bourdain, America’s Test Kitchen are all good. Of course, Julia Child - forever the best!
Amen to that i love Julia child! I have one of her cookbooks amazing stuff!
YOU ARE WAAAAY MORE RIGHT THAN YOU KNOW because there are many of the same numerous “happy chemicals” that are released directly from your brain through both sex and food. Ever wonder why the strong urge for both? Part of the procreation/survival tools to keep us human being’s, being.
In terms of the show, no favorite in particular, my lust is equal for so many snacks. Bottom line is food is on some levels a drug, and for diabetics litterally medicinal, and like all pleasures must be policed. Thanks for the great analogy.
Love always

Not on the food network, but I love watching Andrew Zimmern on Bizarre Foods, and Anthony Bordain on his show. I would love to step into their shoes for a while.
Another Alton Brown fan here.
Don’t forget America’s Test Kitchen by the Cook’s Illustrated staff. Not an exciting show but their recipes and techniques are usually very good.
Julia Child taught me to cook; I literally cooked my way through Mastering the Art of French Cooking I and II.
obsessed with the food network!!! I’m a huge fan of flay, but i loveee diners drive ins and dives and of course ace of cakes, guy gets kind of annoying but I loveeeee duff
I don’t subscribe to the Food Network here - but some of the stations that I do watch have a few of their shows. Like Pavlos above - I love Anthony Bourdain and also the The Thirsty Traveller. They are both great shows - that get me squirming in my seat - wanting to try some of the foods, etc. When I was in D.C. a few weeks ago - I so much wanted to go to Ben’s Chilli - that Mr. Bourdain had gone to eat at - but the rest of our group weren’t keen on taking the subway - sigh. Next time I’m there - the 10 hour drive is going to involve Ben’s Chilli!!! High carbs - but what the heck.
Yeah Tim, Food is Porn!!!
i love to watch iron chef america! lol alton brown is pretty cool too. he’s so strange sometimes…haha
oh yeah! and ace of cakes is awesome too!
