Yum, it's the Food Network!

If I had to rate the channels that I watched in order, I think that the Food Network would be #1 or very close to the top.  I must say, I get a real kick out of watching people compete to make the best hamburger or the fanciest looking cake! Great I'm hungry now and I still have 20 minutes to go before I got home... I listed Rachel Ray to the right, because she was probably the reason I started to watch the Food Network.  30 Minute meals and $40/day were to of my favorite shows to watch.  Now you would think that watching all these shows would maybe make me a better cook, but no, that never happened. I've moved on from Rachel Ray (as it looks she has moved on from the Food Network too) and from Emeril Live, another show I used to watch a lot. BAM!

Here's a list of my current favorite shows to watch on the Food Network:

Iron Chef America:
"In the words of my uncle.... ummm, I'm hungry again...
That chairmen and Alton Brown just crack me up!


Dinner Impossible:
I heard the main chef used to cook for the Queen of England, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing... What do you think the Queen would like to eat for dinner???


Throwdown: With Bobby Flay
My mom was always a big fan of Bobby's first show "Boy Meets Grill", but I never really liked the guy until I started watching this show. He seems a little cocky, but he sure knows his cooking.

***On a side note, I'm also a huge fan of Gordon Ramsey and especially his show "Kitchen Nightmares", but that's on FOX, so I'll leave that for another review...***


Lastly, I am a big fan of Guy Fieri and his show "Diners, Drive-In's and Dives".  These look like places I would want to eat at.  They might force you spend a few hours in the bathroom afterwards, but, hey, it looks worth it!


Anyone here watch the Food Network?

I love that you love the Food Network... cuz they sign my paychecks:) I thought you may like to know that May 31st we will be rebranding the Fine Living Network into the Cooking Channel! That means double the cooking shows!! They will be more in depth, more ethnic food themes, and new talent! But if you were missing Rachel Ray, she will have a brand new show on the network:)

Nice, Mo, I love the Food Network!  This would have made a great list.  Check out this list on Favorite Crime TV Shows.  You could make something like a Favorite Food Network Shows list!

By the way, I just wanted to let you know that I moved your review to the Food Network data point so that users can find it more easily ;)

What is it about watching people cook that can be so comforting? I don't know but sometimes watching Paula, Rachel et al, hits the spot.

Unwrapped is a great food network show and Marc Summer is a great host of this series.

What happened to all the good cooking shows with chefs who really had the chops? It's frustrating to always find a show on kitchen shortcuts or "how it's made" type fare on the food network. I miss Mario Batali, Melting Pot, and heavens, I can't believe I'm saying this, even Emeril!

The only good thing about this channel is Alton Brown: Good Eats

Food Network is a brilliant concept due to one simple fact: we all eat. Maybe we don't all wanna watch "Mother, May I Sleep With Danger?" on LifeTime. Perhaps a few don't want to see pundits scream on CNN. I know I have no interest in anything ESPN has to offer. But we all need food- and so, Food Network is the network for the masses.    There are some really great personalities on Food Network.  There's a chef for every home-cook's taste. While Aida might get on my nerves, …
