I love you! I love almost every show and most of your hosts. I do think that Giada and Rachel can throttle back on the cleavage exposure but there is probably some marketing reason that you continue to exploit the ta tas. (Male viewers aged 12-85 maybe?)
Ta-Tas aside, Bobby Flay has influenced my grilling methods forever. Iron Chef America rocks my Sunday nights. I have watched every episode of The Next Food Network Star since season 2.
I rooted for Aaron McCargo, Jr from jump and watch Big Daddy’s House every week. Will Work for Food is fun but I think Adam Gertler should have been awarded his own idea show -Ask Adam. (Aida Mollenkamp is as stale as a bagel baked for the previous Sabbath).
Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives
would be my personal heart attack if watching Guy Fieri consume calories had the same effect as me actually consuming them. Alton Brown’s Good Eats is personally responsible for my newfound love of steel cut oatmeal, brined turkey, and aged prime rib roast. Not to mention haggis.
Unwrapped
grabs my attention from the first notes of the quirky opening music sequence to the final frame of Mark Summer’s smiling face. I feel like the Ace of Cakes is a neighbor as I live just one county north of
Baltimore
, and when I travel to NYC I always eats at Juniors (thank YOU Bobby Flay for a cheesecake Throw Down!). Speaking of Throw Down, the first episode I ever watched was Kentucky Hot Browns (my parents lived the
Derby
for many years) and the last episode filmed featured Hattie’s Chicken Shack in
Saratoga Springs
,
NY
. I have eaten Hattie’s fried chicken when Hattie was still frying it. Yes, Food Network you influence my daily life, my daily bread, and I am grateful.
Moreover, Dinner Impossible (with Chef Irvine) is one of the best reality shows on any network! Yes Food Network, I love you. However, it is not a perfect love as I personally think that there is room for at least two more programs and as the “Marketing Genius of the 21 Century” (who missed her calling), here are my suggestions:
Oh! No You Di-ent!
This is a show based on a total failure in the kitchen. The event can be home catered, or on the professional level – no event is 100% foolproof! The “Fix-It” person shows up just in time to express total surprise and exclaim “Oh! No you di-ent!” before proceeding to fix the mess and save the event with a glorious presentation of at least one original menu item salvaged and triumphantly served. Feel free to tweak the details.
Cookie Up, Bitches!
This show is about…cookies. Cookies rock, end of discussion. This show would rock the SAHM (Stay At Home Moms) world, because the show would focus at least one recipe a week to be fast & furious – complimenting the daily life of a SAHM. I am available to host this show.
OK, Food Network. These are my latest suggestions and I hope you read these with a grain of salt, and a sprig of dill, with a light dusting of confectioner’s sugar.
