He's on a show called The Chew which is on channel 7 in NY.

I like Jaime Oliver. His show Jaime's meals in minutes is very good and has simple recipes. I am not a fan of Nigella Lawson.

I am not a fan of the new "stars" on Food Network, except Guy Fieri. I'am old school with Mario Batali and Emeril...wish they were back on the air.

The current crop is pretty lame.

Sara is the one that got us hooked on the food network about 10 years ago. I have seen her on some other network a few times but can't remember which. I don't think it is PBS. just got the word from hubby, she is on PBS on Sat afternoon.

These days I watch the cooking shows on create channel - I like Jacques Pepin and Joanne Weir, also Lidia.

As far as the others -

I like Ina (soothing voice)
Nadia G - she is so funny and quirky, and has some good recipes too. Love the over-the-top obvious fakeness (I think she's poking fun at a few out there)

Neutral - Giada - although she annoys me - she always says "just like that!" a few too many times - LOL
Sandra Lee - I don't dislike her, but the whole "semi-homemade" thing sounds stupid and makes me laugh

Can't stand - Rachel Ray - EVOO!!!

Paula Deen - how 'bout some double fried butter, y'all!"

Thanks for mentioning Nadia G., I forgot about her. When I think about it, I find her and the Sandwich King guy to be two of the most annoying celebrity cooks.

Likes:

Tyler Florence: I like his recipes. His personality is good too.
Ina: Love her
Ann Burelle: She is the real deal...good cook and she communicates well

Dislikes:

Rachael Ray: If I hear one more EVOO and that silly giggle, I will turn off Food Network for good

Paula Deane: OMG, she seems so insincere with a fake accent. Her food is downright deadly.

I don't watch the food channel too often. But I do like Paula Deen. I know she's annoying as heck but I think she's funny to watch. And I've made several of her recipes. I like Anne Burrell, Guy Fieri and Jamie Oliver, even though he needs to take a chill pill, he's so hyper!
Not crazy about Bobby Flay, there's just something about him I don't like. My husband doesn't like him at all. And I can't watch The Neeley's. All that ' mm-mm baby this and baby that' makes me throw up a little in my mouth. And on the Cooking Channel there is a scary looking girl on a show called Bitchin' Kitchen', she's really annoying!

OMG Yes! I was flipping through the channels and saw some freaky weird looking girl cooking and I was like wtf? What is her deal?

Love: Giada
Hate: Giada

Reason: The food network is like porn when you're hungry.

We don't get the cooking channel (once in awhile they put it on for a month) we could upgrade our satellite pack and get it, but for some reason, hubby does not want to pay the extra just for me to watch another food or home improvement program..I agree with him but don't tell him.

As for the Neeley's I think I have to agree. I did used to watch them all the time and loved them. But first there were so many repeats I started surfing and then they moved to mornings. Now that I think about it, they are a little over the top...
