I like the good Eats program. I finally learned why my pancakes are
never as good as the restaurants (too much stirring). I don't like the
diners program as they seem to break a lot of health department laws
(at least the laws in my state, so it grosses me out). I don't like
the Iron Chef type shows since it is all too fancy, nothing I would
like.

I do happen to like the competition shows like Top Chef and Chopped.
Most of what they make, I would never eat as I am really picky. But I
enjoy seeing what people come up with little time, and strange
ingredient combinations.
