Favorite Food Network chef? Least favorite?

#1..Mario Batali.Extremely cool,skilled.Not an egomaniac.

#2..Alton Brown. Presents his show w/good info,entertaining

#3. Giada..Great Italian cuisine,attractive,knoledgable.

Least favs, Bobby Flay(cocky know it all)Emeril Lagasse,(talks down to his audience,could'nt ad lib his way out of a freezer bag.)Racheal Ray "not delish"

Favorites: Emeril Lagasse, Rachel Ray, Tyler Florence, Alton Brown and Bobby Flay.

Least favorites: Paula Deen, Sandra Lee, Michael Chiarello, Ina Garten.

I really like Alton Brown, Ina Garten and Tyler Florence. I like Giada DeLaurentis, Michael from Easy Entertaining (can't think of his name right now) and a few others. I can't stand Rachel Ray, Sandra Lee, The Neely's or Paula Deen. And I will still watch Emeril when I can't find anything else to watch. We're getting the Cooking Channel now too and I do spend time watching that. Some of the programs are pretty good. It beats all these contests and challenges on Food Network all the time. I've learned a lot about baking and what things work from watching Alton and his more "scientific" approach and that has made me a better baker. Ina has a ton of wonderful ideas too! She's reminded us that entertaining does not have to be a physically and emotionally draining thing. Tyler is just plain cute!

Favorite - Alton Brown and Paula Dean

Least Favorite - Giada (sorry), Rachel Ray, and Emeril

Mario Batali is the best, Giada is the hottest, Emeril is kinda amusing sometimes but cliched; although he probably really can cook, Bobby Flay is really good but is sometimes a little cocky although he can back it up, Rachel Ray is by her own admission not a chef but has a great TV personality, Sandra Lee ... no. Alton Brown is informative and fun and pretty much accurate on his facts.

Love: Giada De Laurentiis

Don't like: Rachel Ray, she's sooo annoying.

Favorite - Paula Deen

Least Favorite - I don't know her name - but she makes healthy food that she "morphs" as she calls it - into several dishes for her family. I might like some of the things she does if I could stand to watch her - but she has the personality of a peanut.

Least Favorite - Alton Brown - his show would be my favorite because of the scientific content - but he is so silly and so ugly I can't stand to watch him either!!!

Favorite: Paula Deen

Least Favorite: Rachel Ray.....can't stand her!

i love Alton and Cat Cora. Ellie Creiger (sp?)has some pretty good stuff, but she always sounds sick! wtf?!

least favorite is sandra lee and ina garten. sandra says "wonderful flavor" way too much and ina is too like "lets go for tea and scones at the country club" for me.

I love Rachael Ray!

Bobby Flay is annoying.
