props to Billy Joel...Christie Brinkley then Katie Lee

almost Baio-esque

Katie Lee is so annoying. Anytime she's a judge for anything, I change the channel.
Now Amanda Freitag, she's great.

You watch with the sound on...wtf?

I'm the opposite, I hate it. It used to be a cooking channel. Then when it started to be a competition channel, they created "The Cooking Channel". Now that is nothing but competition shows. I miss watching the pure cooking shows then making the food:

Jamie At Home
Barefoot Contessa
Grillin' and Chillin'
Boy Meets Grill
Tyler's Ultimate
Secrets of a Restaurant Chef
Luke Nguyen's Vietnam
Easy Chinese / Indian / French
Nigella Bites
Giada's Rack
Molto Mario
Emeril Live!
Good Eats

Etc.

One of my favorite tv shows of all time.

The Food Network died when they sold out to being reality TV cooking competitions. Instead of actual cooking and food shows.

Reminds me of when MTV stopped showing as many music videos. I swear The Real World ruined television with unscripted crap reality TV shows.

I used to enjoy the Food Network 15 years ago, but now it's a shell. Fairly common when reality TV takes over.

What a novel concept, right?

New Good Eats and Good Eats Rewind episodes are great. I made the Cordial and it was amazing.

I'll admit to watching Chopped and Beat Bobby Flay pretty regularly.

I used to like Food Network when they had cooking and restaurant shows on. Now it is all competitions (reality TV) and they are all horrible. Why am I supposed to be impressed that you can cook ingredients that no one uses and especially not together and make a passeable meal in a short period of time. And why would I ever want to watch people who are terrible in the kitchen like Worst Cooks In America.

Chopped has given me quite a few ideas like..

1. What ingredients I will never use
2. Why I should take my time when cooking
3. Why a cooking judge is more worthless than a movie critic
4. It's not just me who cuts and burns himself when not paying attention.
5. When trying to impress, always add bacon
6. Cooking should be fun and not a job.

One small correction....

They really need to get those guys to produce a limited run web-series where each chef takes one dish real people make on weeknights and then makes a 10 min episode about how to cook it better.

Call it "Workweek Eats" or "Weeknight, Eat Right" or something like that. No crazy ingredients. No protracted techniques.

Episode 1 is Bobby Flay making ground beef tacos. Here's how you brown the meat, here's some spices you can keep in your pantry and to it that will whip an Old El Paso spice bag. Here's a tortilla trick, etc.

Episode 2 is one of the southern cooks making chicken strips. No, not bone in blah blah blah. No, not trimmed chicken thighs. Strips. That my kid will eat. Here's how to whip them up in a hurry after a long day with minimal work but make them some bomb ass chicken strips.

Episode 3: Grilled cheese sandwich

Ep 4: Pizza, and reheating delivery pizza

Ep 5: Quesadillas

etc etc

I'd watch that

Me too. That's a fantastic idea.

Seriouseats.com does alot of that breaking down basics.

Same with Basics with Babish on YouTube

I'm surprised this show hasn't been listed but "Two Fat Ladies" is the all-time best cooking show. It's two old British ladies who ride a motorcycle with a side car around the English countryside and cook. They smoke on the show and are funny as sh^t. Not sure if you can still find the episodes but I assume you can buy the show.

They would cook some god awful looking sheeet too. Seems like kidneys were a favorite.

We still watch Chopped on occasion and on Sunday mornings getting ready for church we'll watch Pioneer Woman. Her food actually looks pretty good.

It is. Wife has her cookbook. Of course, we have every cookbook.

Chef Carlos Ruiz who was always on Guy's Grocery Games died earlier this week at 44.

We watch Pioneer Woman and the Kitchen. Both have actual cooking

You Suck At Cooking on YouTube is a really funny cooking channel.

I'm very happy that Good Eats is back.
