What the hell is it with cooking shows? Do they transmit some sort of hypnotic wavelength through the t.v.? Why is it that no matter how gay of a program it is, I keep watching it? Could somebody please shed some light on this subject.

seems like you've been neglecting your inner iron chef. ain't nuthin' wrong with watchin' the food tv, it's interesting and sometimes practical stuff- and at least more useful and entertaining than most of the crap available out there.

I'll tell you who has a hypnotic wavelength - Giadia DeLaurentis. She's on Everyday Italian and she's super hot.
There's also my personal favorite, Tyler Florence. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

I am hooked on Good Eats. It's like going to Culinary School without paying 45K in tuition.

One of my favorites is on public tv. Its America's Test Kitchen. They test whether stuff actually works and is the best.

I was smoking a bowl last night and I watched the Emiril Live show for about 15 minutes and I have no idea why! It was like the first time I had ever watched for more than a few minutes. Originally Posted by homerjay

Simply put, you are gay. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that however. Originally Posted by grizzle6

I don't have cable, but every once in a while I come across some real spicy stuff on late-night.

First of all, Martin Yan isn't dead, his show's on PBS.
Second of all, Food TV fucking blows goat nuts for cooking shows. Luckily there is PBS, which despite being public television, has the BEST cooking shows going
Mexico One Plate at a Time (Rick Bayless who sold out to booger king but still rules)
In Julia's Kitchen (Now Julia really did die )
Cooking With Lydia (Fat Italian Ladies Can REALLY COOK)
----------------------------------------
Legoskier, I have to disagree on America's Testicle Kitchen, worst of the PBS cooking shows IMVHO. Lydia needs to go over there are smack them science geeks upside the head so they learn that cooking is not 10% art, 90% science but instead the other way around.

YES!! YESSSSS!! I love the intensity. Damn I love that intensity. I can almost see the veins popping out of the forehead as I type. Originally Posted by lemon boy

Yeah, they are pretty geeky on that show but they do have good usefull tips sometimes. And I think Rick Bayless is the bomb too. I could watch people cook good Mexican food all day. Anybody ever watch the snow Great Chefs of the West? It was on various places from PBS to Discovery (before they became the 24 hr motorcycle building channel). It just had chefs from around the southwest doing their shit. A lot of the time the chef didn't even speak english.

Just keep pluggin' those arteries champ. You do what you need to do to keep that intensity off the richter baby. Now--don't go dying on me here. All in moderation....AAAAALLLLLLLL in moderation. Originally Posted by lemon boy

Agreed... By shameful admission:
Mexico One Plate (Though Rick Bayless is a weird, dorky freak)
Barbeque University (Homer drool...)
Epicurius also used to be a good one...
Though for all the watching, I have never cooked one of their dishes... Did pick up a lot of tips though.
