Maybe it's just that a different set of clowns sounds better, but it does seem that your FN programming has more serious cooking and less fluff for the armchair chefs.


Interesting. We do get a lot of the same clowns, but also the local guys, many of which are a lot more interesting than the clowns.

Re Ray - I guess I have never taken the time (nor am I likely to) to really watch and alnalyze her recipes. The stuff I briefly saw wasn't anything more interesting than the recipes you get on the back labels of soup cans. Along the lines of 'Hey, by tossing some Durkee French Fried Onions on top of your geen bean casserole, you can elevate it to nirvana on your tongue...."

Well, I'd never seen her before. I am dumbfounded that someone thought it was a good idea to give someone with a voice like that a speaking career. I haven't read her stuff, so that might be ok, and I know some here like her recipes, but that voice was just horrible.


Cynthia that makes me chuckle. I always thought her show MIGHT be ok if she would JUST.STOP.TALKING.

It made me glad (again) that I don't own a television or watch the Food Network.

Didn't that violate the Constitution and laws against torture?
