No, I don't mean out of the BC awesome cooks (hi SV and CA ). I mean, out of the 100,000 cooks on TV.

Do you watch any?
do you have a favorite?
do you hate anyone?

To answer my own questions...

I watch and like Ming a lot! His dishes are very original and I like the way his show is presented.

I absolutely hate Sandra Lee! I don't have cable, so I don't watch her. But, out of the dozens of clips I have seen of her not a single meal she made was appetizing. On the contrary, most look like barf.

    I rarely watch TV and never watch cooking programs. My favorite cook is my Beloved ... lol He may not be a celebrity but he can cook.

    I haven't followed a cooking show since the Two Fat Ladies. That show was fabulous.

    I particularly detest Gordon Ramsey. He has a restaurant here in Cape Town and my husband and I refuse to go. He is a bad-tempered, foul-mouthed bully and neither of us want to eat food that is linked publicly with him. Imagine the karma of food prepared by people bullied and intimidated by that disgracefully rude old sot!

      His business in the UK is collapsing; he got caught with a mistress and taking "virility enhancing drugs" to boot.

    I do enjoy Paula Deen but her voice makes me leave the channel sooner that I'd like!

    I forgot to say above that Beloved and I find the hippy gourmet to be entertaining and informative. We have tried and loved many of his recipes. This is the site link www.hippygourmet.com but we prefer to watch the youtube videos taken from The Hippy Gourmet TV show like this one below.

    Alton Brown mix science with cooking. I love his cardboard smoker and entertaning show. I use to watch it when I had cable

    As far as shows go, I find Anthony Bourdain 's to be great, but he doesn't really do any cooking on it. I like Italian and Mediterranean food so I tend to like Giada a lot, plus she's kinda cute. I hate Rachel Ray; the sound of her voice drives me crazy and I hate when she says EVOO! Also, although he is very smart, Alton Brown drives me nuts; can't watch him.

      I love bourdain...its a fun show. I like how he narrates his trips
    2. LaurenM622
      bourdain is one of my many "older man crushes" ...along with anderson cooper and House...
    3. scoreboardgourmet
      I also like the Tony Bourdain show. There's not really much actual cooking to be excited about on TV these days, is there?

    I thought Nigella Lawson was always pretty entertaining to watch. It was a little frightening to see her handling the food all the time, but I appreciated her sense of humor and her not more practical style of cooking.
    1. Theresa111
      Yes, she made you want to embrace her and sit down at her table. I agree!

    I ABSOLUTELY HATE SANDRA LEE, TOO! she drives me crazy. generally, i really like to watch all of the contestants on Iron Chef America, especially Bobby Flay - I think he's adorable :-)
    1. LaurenM622
      also Ina Garten (I always forget about her...)
  11. yourfindit
    I love Bobby Flay
  12. FreakSmack
    I watch none, I do read cooking for assholes. I used to like mixing Sticky trees and Iron Chef, NOT Iron Chef America

    My favorites are Giada de Laurentiis and Sandra Lee, food optional

    I hate Guy Fieri he just looks fake to me
