Who's your favorite cook on Food Network? Who is your least favorite?

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?

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 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).

Favorite-Alton Brown

Least Favorite--3 way tie between Giada, Rachel and Ina

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.

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.

Favorites

Alton-smart

Paula-funny

Guy-cute

Least

Bobby Flay-creepy in a pervert way

Sandra-too fake

Giada- 'never trust a skinny cook'

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

Ina Garten, Paula Deen, and Giada are my favorites.

Sandra Lee is my least favorite. She seems so artificial.

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. :)
