Bob and I enjoy watching "Chopped," and a couple of their other
challenge style shows.

He watches a bit more of the Fine Living channel that I do.

I also DVR "Hell's Kitchen" and the BBC and American versions of
"Kitchen Nighmares" when that show is on for the season.

Top Chef is on Bravo. Earlier in the season I saw Bravo's mother ship,
NBC, airing episodes of Top Chef. Now they have a new series based on
BBC's "Last Restaurant Standing" airing in the next week.

I don't care about Food Network as a whole, but I do like food T.V.!
