Some of us love the Food Network. Some of us want to hate it, but can't. I am of the latter group. I want to ban the channel from my television for some of the things they have done to my viewing pleasure (Iron Chef! Bring back Iron Chef!), but I can't. I just can't do it because there are a few things that still capture my attention:
- I love watching Michael Chiarello throw together some seriously delicious looking Napa-terranean meals; better yet, I love watching him stroll through the vineyard in his jeans, caressing his grapes. (Oh my, did I blog that second part out loud?!?!)
- Tyler Florence is hot. I'd like to be Tyler's Ultimate.
- There is a rumor that the original Iron Chef is coming back (it is on the schedule at 4 am right now). Not confirmed, but a rumor is better than nothing.
- Paula Deen's food scares my fat cells, but she is too adorable when she is cooking with her sons.
- Alton Brown is good eats.
- They will have Nigella Lawson some time this year
- By some glorious semi-homemade alignment of the stars, every time I turn the television on, Sandra Lee is not scheduled (unfortunately, Rachael Ray is, but that's a different post).
- Even though I am not a fan of Giada de Lauentiis, I like her taste in kitchens and clothes.
