Hey guys,


What is your fave cooking show? I know, you probably have many.

Mine is Alton Brown and then Rachel Ray is second. My most fave was the Cajun Cook, God rest his soul.

Justin was awesome.. Loved his show. He was always saying 'whooooo'.. and overloading the spices and wine, lol..

One thing that he did every time was add a cool little story during the end. My dad was Cajun and talked just like him and he also told these wild stories at the dinner table that were a riot to hear.



Great guy.

I've gotta go with Everyday Italian. Not only is Giada very attractive but the recipes she comes up with are great. I swear I think I've got some Italian blood somewhere in me :icon_lol:

Back in the 80's I used to watch 'The Frugal Gourmet' all the time. Later on I watched Justin Wilson who was GREAT!! :applause: Now-a-days I'll catch Rachael Ray (very cute) every once in a while, but I mostly get my gastronomical "fix" online. Websites like http://www.epicurious.com/ are always worth the time to visit. Speaking of food I whipped this up for my younger son today. It's not exactly gourmet cooking but it's cheap, nutritious, and delicious. :wiggle:

She is awesome. She has had her mom on the show a few times. She is a famous actress in Italy.

How on Earth does she stay so tiny and cook all that food! goodness..

I can't do cooking shows. It sets off some kind of an alarm or something in my body that says I have to eat ...

Good Eats with Alton Brown. Mostly because he's kinda goofy and makes it fun. He's also got a local connection as he graduated from the New England Culinary Institute which is located here in VT.

Bobby Flay's Older Show, about grilling was pretty good too.

I dunno, she's got more willpower than I do! She only takes a small bite of whatever she's prepared, probably does that off the air too.

i also like Good Eats, because he goes into the science of cooking. It almost feels like that old show "Mr. Wizard" haha....my wife doesn't like him tho; i think she likes that Tyler guy...

Lionheart, re: 15 Bean Stew

I been making the same bean stew for a number of years now. It's good stuff in the winter. The only difference with mine is I haven't used onion soup mix and use my own mix of dried herbs. Have to give to onion soup mix a try next time I make it.

Favorite cooking show is Everyday Italian. As long as Giada keeps wearing those low-cut tops, I'll keep watching. Sometimes, I even remember what she was cooking. :icon_lol:

My wife and daughter like to watch "the Platinum Porcupine", Guy Fieri. I like Rachael Ray, her recipes are easy which is the way I want it. I don't want to spend the entire day in the kitchen, like you have to with some of Alton Brown's good eats.

Justin Wilson was great, he liked it spicey, which suits me just fine.

Jeff Smith, the "Frugal Gourmet", lost his show when he was accused of sexual misconduct by some of the young men who worked for him. Nothing was ever proven, but his insurance company settled the cases out of court.

Not a cooking show, but I regularly watch Diners Dives and Drive-ins and as for how to cook I watch Rachel Ray and Ramsey's F-Word when I can catch it on the BBC.

Triple-D is such a good show! But it comes on late in LA, so it makes my wife and I super hungry when we watch it in bed. We usually have to get up for some snacks after.
