I love Good Eats. Can't stand Diners Drive ins and Dives, mainly because I
can't stand Guy. Why does he wear his glasses backwards on his head? That
just bugs me. Sometimes I like Iron Chef. I really like to watch Morimoto,
but I don't really care too much about the rest of them. And you are right
that I wouldn't want to eat any of that stuff.
