Who’s your favorite cook on Food Network? Who is your least favorite?
cherripye99 asked:
I like Ina Garten on Barefoot Contessa. She makes all kinds all great dishes for all occassions. She’s a good cross between high end cuisine and comfort food. My least favorite would be Rachel Ray. Now, because she’s a little over-marketed. I liked it better when you had to find her rather than her constantly being in your face. I also don’t like the new set or movie- like film now used for 30 minute meals.

i like so many..Tyler Florence, Giada Delaurentis, Guy Fieri, Anthony Boudaine, bobby Flay, Paula Dean
I do not like the neelys or that ***** who has the show “how did that get on my plate”
Ina is my girl. she is a little pooh pooh for some, but she’s the kitchen Goddess in my opinion.
I also love the Neelys and Guy Fieri.
Dont really care for Paula Deen. She has great recipes and I like her but she is not very clean in the kitchen. She licks her fingers and doesn’t always wash them. YUK>
Favorite-Alton Brown
Least Favorite–3 way tie between Giada, Rachel and Ina
My favorite is probably Alton Brown. I know he is nerdy but it is soooo informational. I don’t like Giatta de La Rentas I think that is her name everyday italian. Her stuff seems simple but if you live in a small town her stuff is impossible to come by plus she uses to much bacon and she is a bean pole! I like Ina garten but sometimes her stuff seems harder than it probably is.
mY FAVORITE IS aLTON bROWN MY LEAST FAVE IS THAT AMY ***** THAT WON THE NEXT FOOD NETWORK STAR I WANTED THE OTHER ONE TO WIN
rachel ray! rachel ray!
Ina Garten, Paula Deen, and Giada are my favorites.
Sandra Lee is my least favorite. She seems so artificial.
giada, least liked:rachel ray
I cannot stand half way homemade with Sandra whatever her name is.
And I really don’t like Barefoot Contessa, her food seems boring and her name creeps me out like she with no shoes…ew.
I like That nerd guy Elton Brown? And Giata?
Ina and Giada are my favorites… I dont like watching Emril… its too “productiony” for me… it has gone to his head too much I **** rachel Ray.. she gets on my nerves sooo much
Love Alton
guy
Michael chica… however u spell it
Ina’s food is so yummy, i hVE ALL HER COOK BOOKS!
I like bobby flay
I don’t really like that cat girl lady
rachel ray lol
favorite- Alton Brown!
least favorite- Rachel Ray 
and it seems like every time I turn on that channel Rachel Ray is on.
favorite. Bobby flay, Giada
least fav- sandra lee
My favorite, Tyler Florence. Least favorite, Alton Brown.
I am pretty much over Rachael Ray too, and Emeril I gave up on years ago. I love Alton Brown–though his shows are getting a little over done. I really like Tyler Florence, Paula Deen (in measured doses), Bobby Flay, Nigella Lawson and Jamie Oliver.
Favorite is Paula Dean. She has comfort food down to a science and I’m all for that! lol
Least Favorite is Nigella Lawson. Who eats anything that woman makes?
oohh, i love food network!! my mom and i love watching inda garten. she always has great recipes, shes my mothers favorite.
my favorites are: Paula Deen!, Bobby Flay, Rachael Ray, the Neeleys
my least favs: Giada DeLorentis and Sandra Lee
ALTON BROWN!!!!!
I’m kind of a cult follower of his, to tell the truth. Its gotten to where my family groans anytime I start a sentance with “Well I saw on Good Eats” haha.
But I love it. Quirky, nerdy, and spontaneous, just like me.
And Feasting on Asphalt has become an inspiration to me. I now avoid the interstates whenever I can, no matter where I go. Sure it might take a little while longer, but the rewards for it are just incomparable.
Personally, I just don’t like Sandra Lee. She just seems so….fake. Theres nothing convincing about her at all.
i used to like emeril and mario, but they are not on there eny more. i **** rachael ray, she never made anything that looked good to me.
Probably still Alton Brown, sometimes I get burnt out of him, but I love the drama even when I don’t love the food, and I love the food even when I don’t love him.
I love knowing the WHYS of how to cook, it lets me explore and create my own things.
Also, who doesn’t love Paula?
i could just hug her.
I really enjoy Bobby flays food,
and I love rachels attitude, even if she is a bit, Overmarketed.
but overall, the geek in me wins, and I have to say, Alton Brown.
weird, i know.
jacobgr, that’s funny you say that because my boyfriend thought the same thing about Paula. I like her but he thought it gross the way she wore rings while preparing food and the licking/tasting of fingers/utensils…
He REALLY loves to cook so one year I got him a cooking class and he partnered up with this older lady who he said reminded him of Ina. He liked her too go figure, you’da thought Giada would be his fave. She’s mine. I love most of her recipes (so simple yet elegant & tasty) and come on the women is GORGEOUS!!!
Bobby Flay & Guy ??? (the one who wear the Raiders sweat cuffs)seem to have good personalities, so I like watching them as well plus their recipes are yummy (boyfriend prepared several of their dishes for me as well)
My son & I like Alton as well because he’s kinda a goof and is informative
Not really one favorite chef per sey…I like all on Iron Chef America. If I had to choose one…Mario Batali.
My least favorite….there are numerous shows on Food Network I DON’T watch, so I can’t really say.
I love Paula Deen and Alton Brown.
I dislike The Neely’s…just something about them.
I do like 30 minute meals, but Rachel Ray does get on my nerves with her talk show and her other show (where she travels).
um rahcel Ray is my favorite and Bobby Flay is my least favorite
Favorites
Alton-smart
Paula-funny
Guy-cute
Least
Bobby Flay-creepy in a ******* way
Sandra-too fake
Giada- ‘never trust a skinny cook’
my favorites are alton brown, he’s funny, has a unique approach in cooking- scientifically, and tyler florence with his ultimate dishes and southern cooking; ace of cakes because they’re really awesome and very creative with their craft; ina garten because she’s so mellow and so homey and motherly; the deen brothers because they’re really cute and boy they can eat!
i used to watch rachael ray but i stopped, she can talk a lot. i’d rather read her magazine and cookbooks.
my least favorite show is emeril live,paula deen, iron chef, neelys and sandra lee. why? i just don’t get them.
Sarah Moulton of Sarah’s Secrets and Tyler”boom”Florence…..
