Food Networks - Loves and Hates
Since our This and That was getting a bit dramatic, post your FN loves and hates here and argue about it if you like
My personal loves:
Rachel Ray, Iron Chef America, Good Eats with Alton Brown, Cat Cora, Food Network Challenges, Iron Chef Japan, ALTON BROWN, Unwrapped, Ham on the Street is fun too. Oh yeah and ALTON BROWN!
Hates:
Giada, Emeril, any cooking show besides Rachel Ray (at this point), The Dean Brothers... and the fact that if I watch a show on Friday, it will be replayed 12 times before Sunday evening when real programming seems to start back up again.

Loves:
30 Minute Meals, All American Festivals, Barefoot Contessa, The Best Of, Everyday Italian, Food 911, Food Finds, Good Eats with Alton Brown, Iron Chef (both), Molto Mario, Paula's Home Cooking, Rachael Ray's Tasty Travels, The Secret Life Of, Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee (I can't help it, I love her!), Throwdown with Bobby Flay, & Unwrapped.
Hates:
$40 a Day (if I have to watch that bitch happily undertip another server in the US I might seek & destroy), Emeril Live, The Essence of Emeril, How To Boil Water, The Hungry Detective, Paula's Party, Road Tasted, Roker on the Road, & Wolfgang Puck's Cooking Class.
My freshman year of college I moved to Louisville & they had the Food Network. I was obsessed. My roommate wondered how I could watch it & never be hungry! When I moved back home, I discovered that my local cable service had included the Food Network while I was gone! I've been hoooked ever since. A little more than 50% of my TV watching is comprised of Food Network...and it has been for almost 7 years now.

Hate Rachel Ray. The EVOO thing grates on my nerves.

ROFLMFAO!
And all this time I thought I was the only person cringing when she tipped someone $1.25 for her dinner. I keep yelling at the TV, "You CHEAP bitch! Put a damn $5 on there at least!"

I read somewhere I can't remember where, but the people who serve her are paid and tipped very well. She is just working off what the norm % is. And it's sad to say that as a former bartender, her on-show tips are the norms and not the exception

People can really be cheap bastards. I can understand being upset over lousy service but if someone has done a good to excellent service, they deserve to get a damn good tip.

Likes: Everyday Italian, Iron Chef (both America and the original), Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello, anything Alton Brown.
Hates: I'm with the consensus on Emeril. He's gone too Hollywood for me.
Paula Deen: her southern accent just grates on me.
Barefoot Contessa: Another voice that grates on me. She sounds like she's whining all the time.
Rachael Ray: the next time I hear "EVOO" or "Yum-O", I want to shove a bottle of that EVOO down her throat.
</crash>
Didn't realize I was posting in the Sigma Kappa forum!

LOVE Paula Dean and her sons, the Good Eats guy, Iron Chef (original), Bobby Flay, and the red-headed Italian guy??
HATE Barefoot Contessa and the big-headed Italian woman, Rachel Ray, Jamie Oliver and Emeril
I agree with ragtimerose that Emeril has gone too Hollywood, and I think Oliver used to be better "back in the day" as well.

I bought Express Lane Meals by Rachael Ray yesterday and I'm psyched to get it. It's the most practical book she's come out with yet...she lists her usual pantry items and then the recipes give you the ingredients you can buy and get through the express lane with at the supermarket.
And my mother told me she got the 2,4,6,8 book for me for christmas. Great surprise mum

I've never really watched Food Network. I don't suppose they have any vegetarian cooking shows...
