For Jaxson: Yes, 3D came through Albuquerque NM to a restaurant that is on "old route 66". It is mostly a steak house. I didn't know about it until I saw the episode by chance, but it looked like it was filmed several months before it was on the air (could it have been a repeat, of course they NEVER repeat shows, but you never know....)?
Have you eaten at that steak house? Is the food awesome? I am just curious to hear from people that have eaten at places they feature. It all looks so good on TV ya know.

I miss her too! Actually, I think it was Rachel Ray who took over her time slot. Both Rachel Ray and Sandra Lee make me nervous when I watch them...they're always in such a hurry and never stop talking...Ina Garten is the best...always so pleasant and calm and relaxing...and I like her food too!

Hi, Jaxson,

No, we don't eat meat so it was never even on the long list, plus it is quite a distance from where I live.

But, I did hear, not in the context of the show, but just in general, that the food there is "greasy".

I too am a huge fan of Ina Garten. Although she is really heavy-handed with her butter, I find plenty of her recipes that I can prepare guilt-free. I also agree that Guy is over-exposed but I find him really entertaining, especially on Triple D. But having said that, I am seriously concerned that his massive consumption of all that fried fattening food is going to send him into either a diabetic coma or a massive heart attack. No one can eat like that forever without some serious consequences.

I like Guy...he seems like a cool guy and I want his job...lol

I also like G. Garvin, but don't think he is on FoodTV...was on TV-One, "Turn up the Heat with G Garvin"...he looks like LL Cool J, and kinda sounds like him too.

Thanks for the feedback Alinka.

Redrover maybe Guy doesn't consume all that high fats food he just takes bites??? Any recipe I see I try to make it more healthy without losing the original flavors. Butter is hard to replace but using less helps.

Hungry For Cheese G. Garvin kept saying some word over and over that got on my nerves. The Neely's get on my nerves now, she is so loud I don't care how you can cook sometimes can't she just let her hubby talk? I wonder if they cook all lovey dovey at home too.

Sandra does great looking food, but she's wound a little tight. That concerns me. Does anyone remember that cocktail drinking Graham Kerr, "The Galloping Gourmet" - I'd love to to see those two hashed up on the same show - he's rehabbed after bad health from all the butter, wine and what not - love what his wife says in the video:

Love Sandra Lee's table scapes. Her food is iffy at best but the drinks and decor are usually very good.

Paula, Giada and Ina are my favs. I've made some of their receipes and they were great. I usually have to tweak Paula's though because I don't have her obsession with butter and mayo.

Guy and Rachel Ray needs a good dose of ritalin to calm them down but I do like their shows. Well I like Guys' Triple D show. Haven't seen the new one to have an opinion on it.
