That would be my assessment as well...

Also, they mentioned that this season was season 3? Did i miss season 2? I dont' remember seeing it on TV.

oooh I forgot about her! I don't mind her food but god, she's this close to being Martha Stewart, talk about being pretentious!

My wife is about to start culinary school in a few weeks. Should be exiting for her and me.

Supposed to be a decent program. I doubt she'll even use the degree for anything. She just likes cooking....but wouldn't want the hours.

Rachel Ray drives me insane. I can't stand her knife skills and the way she chops up stuff. Take a class! She's really not all that. She needs to slow down when she speaks.
I have a different perspective on Bobby Flay than most. I don't see him as being arrogant at all. He knows his stuff and he is excited about food. I think he would be a great mentor. Plus, he is a trained Chef (as in earned a degree at a Culinary institute) unlike some of the other Food Network faces. I see him as being really enthusiastic about what he can do with food. He said something on the Next Food Network star that's been quoted around my school countless times recently "if your passion doesn't make you nervous then you're not passionate enough." We're all nervous about finishing school and finding jobs, etc. I'm obsessed with becoming a Chef. I can't wait but I'm scared shitless to actually work in a real kitchen.
I love Paula Deen. I don't care if she's not a trained Chef because she doesn't act like she is. Her mission is pretty simple: southern cooking. I think she gets her point across in every show.
Emeril.....I love him. I don't watch him too often but he was really the first Food Network star and the one that made me realize I need to be a Chef.
Sandra Lee.....she needs to move to HGTV. I can't figure out if she's showing us how to cook or coordinate your outfit with a pie.
Giada......she's got some great ideas but I feel like she's starting to repeat herself a bit. She gives some good facts about her food but I'd like to see her do more difficult items. I feel like most of her stuff is something you'd order for lunch at a cafe.
Alton....he's a wacko but like Bobby, he really knows his stuff. I've learned a lot from his Iron Chef commentary. I don't watch his shows too often though.
Mario....I can't stand him.
The Barefoot Contessa.....I like her stuff. She makes a lot of French desserts that I've made in school.
I can't think of anyone else that I watch too often. They need an actual Pastry Chef on the network with their own show. Too bad Warren Brown turned out to be such a flake. They also need to show people in the kitchen more often. I can't stand watching Rachel and Giada eat for a half hour. I think Marc Summers has unwrapped every food on earth so it's time to more his show to another time slot.
Very cool! More details?
