Damn this shit is like reality TV, there's a new one springing up every three seconds with a different demographic in mind.Wifey stays watching this shit, and I'm not even mad because she picks up a lot of game from them. I even made a killer fritata off whatever was just on this morning.What are your favorites?I fuck with Jamie Oliver and the Neelys. lol

I like to watch No Reservations with Anthony Bourdaine too. Not so much a cooking show tho.
Bobby Flay's Boy Meets Grill is my shit.
Rick Bayless used to have a show Create TV Network...Mexican steez
BarbeQue University is one my favs.
New Scandanavian Cooking w/ Tina Nordstrom
I find alot of my favs arent on the Food Network...
Cooking Shows are the Musak of my Apt. Ur I can plut the shit on mute and still check the technique.
I heard the Nellys was kinda suspect. My ladyfriend said they made Pork Chop Soup.....
Hands down the most informative show in the game. I own 5 of the Books.
But w/ Zero sex appeal.
Upon finishing her tour of duty with the Air Force, Sunny kept on her broadcast career playing radio host at stations in New Orleans, Montgomery, Detroit, and finally, in New York at hip hop radio powerhouse, HOT 97. Within a year, Vibe Magazine rated her show as one of the top 9 to listen to nationwide and crowned her, "Ruler of the Airwaves." Her radio success landed her guest hosting duties on MTV2, and voice over gigs on television and radio ads for Destiny's Child, LL Cool J, and John Legend.
Sunny also served as Food & Lifestyle editor at Hip Hop Weekly Magazine where she reported on everything celebrity living with her column, "Belly of the Beats," where she interviewed hip hop stars about food, cooking and restaurants they love.
Anybody seen her show yet?
in the kitchen, in the hood, make some food, tastes so good
saggy boobies, strange belly, digest food, doo doo smelly,
learn to cook from the telly, no more pizza orders on my celly
cook fast, 30 minutes, wilt down pot of spinach,
hand gestures prove the point, rachel ray, that's my joint
make a burger, make a salad, she da bast like dj kahled,
bleu cheese, more please, smash hard, paninis,
less fat, no grease, mushrooms be that cremini,
melt it down, toss it up, sake-tini in my cup,
e, v, o, o, that's the way that rachel rolls
chop chop, knife knife, I need her in my life life
good food, 30 minutes, just started, now I'm finished.
I actually like America's Test Kitchen. Straight nerd style.
Flay's show is great.
lmho - yes. I guess Nigella changed the game that way?
which reminds me...Lidia's Family Table is a good one for a fast and simple Italian cooking...and unless school marm/jail warden is what you're into, the sex appeal on this show is zero, too.
Cooking Instructional. Holler at that shit dog.
Lydia is sexy to me in a real way. Her style, the food, the italian accent.
Nigella is forced sexy...IMO.
They had a Wire episode. They made a row house cake for some sort of Wire public appearance/fundraiser.
The secretary lady is a huge wire fan and she did a semi-tour of Baltimore and rolled up on them shooting some new scenes. I saw the episode again recently and it actually looked like they were shooting under a bridge, kind of like the scenes from the last season with the reporter interviewing homeless people in the encampment.
None of the ace of cakes cakes look edible. Some look cool, but most of them look gross, especially considering all the hands that were on them.
Diners, Drive ins, and Dives has some tasty looking food on it, but Guy is Frickin' gross.
I've seen the show a few times and basically, what, he drives around to "greasy spoons" and stuffs his fat jowel ridden face with food? I'd rather watch y'all dudes' girl Rachel Ray over this bloated bro-seph.
Oh and Marc Summers= O.G. IN THIS GAME
my favorite bitd was "great chefs...". it came on pbs.
Other than that, most of my cooking shows come off the Food Network. I like all of Bobby Flay's shows. I also like that guy Tyler's show. He now does Tyler's Ultimate, but he also did a show called Food 911 which I don't think runs anymore where he helped out people who couldn't cook. I thought that show came with a lot of cooking tips. I can't stand Rachey Ray. Almost forgot, Batali also has a daytime Italian cooking show that I really like, but I only get to watch that when I'm on vacation.
If you include the cooking competition, etc. shows. I've been down with Iron Chef since it came on the local Asian station years ago in Japanese. The first couple seasons they had English subtitles, but then for the last two years of its run there weren't any and I still watched that shit. Like the American version as well. No Reservations on the Travel Channel is a must. Also Flay's Throwdown, Dinner Impossible, and those specials when they go to cooking competitions in different cities.
I dont understand this cat. Who greenlighted this dude to be on TV.
His whole personal style is str8 90's style Rock doofus. Who did they think is gonna ride for this cat?
The idea of going to diners is actually a very good idea but the host is unbearable.
So he likes Swingers, so what?
I did like Alton Brown's recent "Feasting On Asphalt" (
I don't think it airs here, but there's an Australian show called "Food Safari" where the host gets into the various cuisines that can be found throughout Australia, and does it from their perspective:
http://www.sbs.com.au/foodsafari
I *think* it airs on the Food Network in Canada, but not in the U.S. Do a rapidshare search.
The Jamaican edition of Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" was great, especially the "these 45's sold crap, let's recycle them and make some Mr. Vegas 45's" scene. The Indonesian one is great too, and I have to watch the Pacific Northwest one in full.
Has anyone seen "Street Eats", from Canada?

I also like "At Home With The Neely's" and "Cooking For Real", hosted by Sunny Anderson:
and anything with Nigella Lawson
I was just thinking the same thing as i just saw is annoying ass on a TGI Fridays commercial!!!?!?!? why in the fuck would ANYONE want to hear the opinion of a dude who advertises shit like TGI Fridays...seriously, why would the food network want someone on one of their shows that pushes bullshit like that?
another dude who annoys me is the host of "bizarre foods"...Andrew Zimmerman, dude is offensive and rude beyond words, telling folks their native cuisine is "weird" and making faces likes a 5 year old being forced to finish their lima beans when he eats the stuff.
both premises of the shows is great, but they need new hosts pronto...
So true. She can't cook a damn thing and she is annoying as f*ck to listen to, calling everything by cutesie nicknames like E.V.O.O.=extra virgin olive oil, yuck.
Yes and yes.
Neely's need to get a room.
Alton Brown's road thing was great.
Nigella is softcore pron for fat guys, she is ridiculous.
Rachael Ray made fishstick parmigiana once, so yeah, she can't cook.
Iron Chef is unbearable.
Giada is ok.
Alton's regular show is unbearable.
Most chef TV personalities are unbearable to me come to think of it.
How could you be mad at some married grown folks feeding strawberries to each other
I ride
"give me some sugar"
"He so gooood w/ his hands!"
