"but so many that I adore...."

Just out of curiousity, which Food Network stars to you like, and why do they appeal to you?

One of my all time favorite TV cooking stars was Justin Wilson (PBS). Not because of his culinary expertize but because his favorite ingredients were wine, more wine and onioooons.
I enjoyed his programs because of his excellence in telling humorous stories that always left me laughing. With his Cajun accent he had a way of telling a story that always reminded me of my grandfather and the story always had a gar -on- tee moral point behind it.

My favorite Justin Wilson thing was him saying, "add hot sauce to taste," as he added a whole bunch of it to the pot. Then, without sampling it, he said, "doan taste good yet," and added a whole bunch more.

Me, I laughed so hard I thought my pants would never dry.

I like the fella on FoodNetwork that hosts a show about Drive-Ins and Dives (I think it is) he has hair like a blonde porcupine, and his name is Guy, he is so full of energy and happiness I just get a kick out of him, he is such a cheerful character!!! Plus the food at the places he stops looks scrumptuous m-m-mmmmmm-m!

I liked Ming Tsai, the two hot tamales, David Rosengarten’s show Taste, I liked a show they had on for a while called the global kitchen that featured a variety of chefs, I liked Emeril when it was taste of Emeril before Emeril live. Before he started bamming the food to death. I liked Molto Mario and sorry KY I liked Good Eats. I’ve made many of his recipes and they always come out great. I like some of Sarah Moulton’s shows, Jaime at home and only that one. I never liked any of the shows he did before that. I also like Nigella Lawson when it was Nigella bites on the style channel.I didn’t like her Food TV show. She seemed to be a characature of her former self. Like fat Elvis.I like the shows that gave me recipes I wanted to cook. I’m like that with all things though. I don’t usually like to watch shows about restaurants or cooking challenges just like I don’t want quizzes and fluff in my fashion magazines. I buy Lucky because all I want is the meat. Pages and pages of shoes, bags, skirts, dresses etc just fashion that’s it, no articles. I like cook books for that too just recipes with some brief descriptions. Just the meat please. When I want articles I read the news or National Geographic.
