Who would you name of the current batch and why?

Bobby Flay cooks some interesting stuff, but his manner turns me off.

Agree. Too arrogant.

Rich Bayless and Chris Kimbull. Too many reasons to list.

Daughter refers to Christopher as that guy who eats all the time.

I used to think that too, but eventually reached the conclusion that
he was uncomfortable in front of the camera. He has relaxed on camera
over the years and what I hear now is stuffed up sinuses.

Oh! Is that what it is. There is something with his voice that grates on
me.

He's a fraud. Almost zero background in culinary anything, he's a
publisher first and formost. He picked cooking as the focus of his
publishing empire cuz it has the biggest audience. Yes, he has taken
some cooking courses, but has never worked as a chef, cook, prep
flunky, burger flipper, waiter, bus boy, or even dishwasher. They
don't call him Pompous Bowtie Man for nothing.

Bayless is an arrogant jerk in it for the $$$. Despite a deep

My impression of him was that he was not a food expert but a regular type
guy who was just there to try the various foods and cooking items. Although
he does come off as an expert for some things like when he has the diagram
of the cow and is pointing out the various parts but... I also get the
impression that he is reading from a script or did some reasearch on it or
something like that. Either way, doesn't bother me.

That's kind of what I thought. I did buy his cookbook and I do like that.

Pompous. Yes, that's the word I was looking for. Probably have his
picture in the dictionary.

The only people who call him "pompous" are those who have tiny little
egos they need to pump up by mocking others who are vastly more
successful than they are.

I find him very pleasant! But... I also think if I had to deal with him on
a daily basis, he would drive me right up the wall. I can just see him
hanging around in my kitchen all the time waiting to taste what I am
cooking.

He doesn't bother me either. It's obvious to me that he plays the
show's dummy asking questions they think some of the viewers with less
cooking experience may have. I've seen it on other shows too.
Jacques Pepin's daughter played that role when she appeared on his
show.

She did indeed, good point.

I gotta go with Sandra Lee and her cut and paste form of cooking, and
also for inflicting upon the world the Kwanzaa cake, a cake so
disgusting that there are dozens of tribute videos on youtube of
people making her cake because it is so awful.

There are lots of people who love to bash her (more, I think to make
themselves feel better about their own nasty cooking), but there are
lots more people who actually cook like that. Some of them even post
here.

I think most people do their food like that. Whether or not it is cooking
is debatable.

Tonight we are having burgers. I am not cooking them. Have hamburger
patties and some kind of chicken BBQ patties from Costco. Both precooked.
Just nuke them. But I did make the whole grain macaroni salad to accompany.
I won't be having that though.

Slop those pigs with pre-cooked hamburgers, and fatten up that daughter some more with macaroni.

I don't think there is a person here (or most anywhere else) who doesn't
cook like that occasionally when they are tired or in a hurry. I think
most here aspire to cook at a higher skill level or they wouldn't be
here looking for ideas.

Tonight I took some boiled potatoes leftover from a previous potato
salad production, diced some onion, added some bay leaves and thyme,
S&P, canned chopped clams and juice and some box vegetable stock to make
chowder. Quick and easy and lazy. I think that's a level above SL, but
not really that far. I have more clams left (51oz can) so clam fritters
are on the agenda for tomorrow.

OK, if we're going to play by semantic rules, how many of these people
are active "chefs" as opposed to restaurant owners and branding managers?

The point is that she has a particular audience and that's who she is
addressing. If you don't like her show, then there are others you
might like better. I don't like reality shows of any type, so I watch
shows that are cooking demonstrations. I don't particularly like
Southern cooking, so that narrows the field.

She certainly does, and they haven't canceled her due to low ratings either.

There are and so I frequent them.

I'm a big Ming Tsai fan, even if some of his fusions are a bit odd.

I like some Southern dishes, but as a category I find it lacking as well.

If you can get some of the Gordon Ramsey cooking school TV shows via
bit-torrent you will find he knows his stuff and instructs well.

As a reality TV character I find him nose-punch-worthy.

It's all how one presents.

I do recommend his show "The F Word", simply for the diversity of chefs
and dishes presented.

I was surprised that no one nominated him in this category.

I never learned how to use bit-torrent. IMO, it's one of those IT
geek things that uses too many terms I have no clue about. Not much
of a video watcher anyway. I ignore video only recipes. If they
don't have a written transcript below or a recipe link - I'm not
interested. That's one reason why PBS cooking shows are not at the
top of my must watch list. Those who do have recipes online make them
hard to find and you have to buy the cookbook to get others.

I have tried several of Gordon's recipes and all came out really well.

I can't really think of bad ones but there are some that I don't like.

Paula Deen because she is so phony.

Bobby Flay because I find his voice to be annoying.

Guy Fie(whatever his name is) because I find him annoying.

Fieri - and yes, he is the human cliche factory.

I don't know if it's the cheap costume jewelery, the spiked died hair,
or the skate punk wardrobe that grates on me more, but when he starts
going "off the hook"and "out of bounds", I feel like locking him in a
phone booth with Rachel Ray and a bottle of "EVOO"!

Oooh! Anne Burrell is another one I can't stand. She has his hair! I
gather that she is a very good cook. It's just her superior attitude that I
can't stand. Likewise for Joanne Weir.

I love her cooking. She really knows what she's doing - but I do wish
she'd take a couple of inches off her hair... it's too long to be
spiked like that.

Superior? I think she's funny as hell and makes me laugh out loud...
but I can see that she, Guy Fieri and Rachael Ray use the same style
of commenting.

Another good cook, no opinion about her personality. She instructs
people how to cook on TV and that's what she does as a living.

Funny? I don't recall her ever sayng anything funny! Her latest show is
the one where a restaurant hires a chef. Don't think it is on currently.
In the beginning she says something like, "That's why they call ME!" And
she looks all puffed up and superior.

I disagree.

I can't stand Rachel Ray and Bobby Flay. I do like Nigella Lawson, Ina
Garten, and Ree Drummond. I don't watch cooking shows much anymore though.

I had to look up Nigella. Had heard the name but she doesn't even look
familiar to me so I guess I've never seen her show.

"I'm a happy girl!" This is repeated at least 3 times during a 1-hour
show. She is an okay cook, though.

Does he do actual cooking anymore? I was fine with his cooking show
the last time I saw one, but I can NOT stand Diners, Drive-Ins and
Dives and/or whatever else he hosts where he's not cooking. For the
most part, I liked what he demonstrated (his Bo Peep pie is a go-to
recipe for me) and would have tried one of his restaurants... but I do
NOT like the sound of his weird fusion menus, so that's out.
