Who's your favorite "Food Network" star?

[Heucrazy]

Mine is Tyler Florence hands down. Not only are his recipes awesome he is very easy to watch on his show.

Bobby Flay and Guy Ferri are tied for second.

Emeril and Ina Garten can go to hell.

Bobby Flay, hands down.

Bobby Flays an effin Douche. Ran into that guy in the halls of my old school. He was getting his picture taken next to his old class photo, and I walked in on it. He was an *****.

I havent watched food network in ages.... no time. But I love Alton Brown. He actually teaches me things.

Giada (sp?) can ride the pig.

 

[Linderbee]

Alton Brown

 

[Mulli]

Nigella.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

The Japanese Iron Chef host.

 

[Pariah]

He's not on the food network, but my favorite "foodie" is Gordon Ramsey. "The F Word" is such a splintered show, but I almost always learn something really useful.

Plus, from "Kitchen Nightmares" now I know how to run a restaurant--simple menu; fresh, locally available ingredients, and new paint. It's really simple once you've taken off your shirt and put your chef's outfit on.

In a knife fight....I would take Chris Kimball (America's Test Kitchen) over Alton Brown any day. Jack Bishop from the equipment corner would pick the perfect knife and Chris would use just the right technique to make Alton Brown sashimi.

I guess I am a PBS guy...Rick Bayless is my favorite celebrity chef.

Also, what is with hating Giada? She has the sexiest fingers in the business. I can watch her sprinkle Italian Parsley all day.

I agree. Outside of the chefs on The Food Network, Ramsay is my all-time favorite.

I've heard that about him before. I don't think I would like to meet the guy but I will still watch his shows.

Alton Brown is fantastic as well.

 

[FArting]

Emeril

 

[Heucrazy]

Emeril

Really?

I can't stand his show. People cheering and going nuts because he put garlic in something?

 

[82CardsGrad]

Still like Emeril and always will.. The guy is legit. He actually cares about food and more importantly, about people. He's the real deal though his show has gone over the top, he's still the man...

Also, Giada DeLaurentis ranks up top for me... She too possesses a deep love of food and the entire culinary experience. And, she just so damm cute!!

 

[Pariah]

Emeril is okay. He taught me how to make stocks.

Interesting take for sure. but Im pretty sure Chris Kimball Be in the middle of laying several brands of knives out on the table, and in mid sentence of explaining WHY the home cook should stay away from carbon steel as a metal option, Alton would go straight to the freebies he got for his celebrity endorsement of SHUN and just seriously slice through Kimballs jugular with his 14" single sided slicer.

Rick Bayless endorsed Taco Bell. Disappointing, yet oddly funny all at the same time.


Giada is a lollipop in a pushup bra. Seriously annoying...

Kitchen nightmares rocks.

Kitchen nightmares rocks.

It does, but it's very formulaic. And I hate that he takes off his shirt in every one. Good god, man! It's not baywatch!

 

[DeAnna]

Alton Brown

Ditto. I love his visuals and whacky humor.

 

[Jersey Girl]

I love Ramsey. He's good and he's entertaining.

I like Emeril the chef, not Emeril the show.
