| Fish aren't cheesy. Cheddar, on the other hand, generally is.
Mmm, cheese and fencers... *drool* |

I was hoping for a cool "dueling with swordfish" kin of death scene, but alas, I was dissappointed. |

| Nope - no swordfish  even though some of the ads are cheesy, good thing about the increased number is the greater exposure that are glorious sport gets!

The Iron Chefs - The best of the best. They are gods of cookery. Most chefs will spend they're entire lives cooking and never get near Iron Chef level. The Iron Chefs are born geniuses.
Bobby Flay - A guy who sells himself as America's top grill meister. If you have ever seen his show you will notice that he uses a pansy-a$$ed gas grill. Bobby often likes to steal cooking methods and recipes from the Iron Chefs. He has a new show called Boy Meets Grill where he has his new blonde girlfriend cooking with him. They are always kissing and carressing over the smoky grill and she is so boney that it proves even she doesn't eat his cooking.
Emril - A guy who used to be one of the most popular chefs in New Orleans for his use of ungenteel spices has now stooped to the level bottom feeder. He has a show that caters to the tastes and style of the poor and uncultured American. Emril has very poor cooking skills and he promotes massive quantity over quality. His food tastes like crap and looks like it too. I'm waiting for him to stoop down another notch.
Mario batali - A decent cook at one time whose northern and southern Italian dishes were authentic has become a victim of his own gluttony. Mario has gained 200lb. All from his gross over use of olive oil. Watch his show and you will notice that he cooks everything with way too much olive oil and will add more oil while cooking and will finish of the dish by drizzling endless amounts of olive oil on top. I watch this fat guy's show and see him get fatter and fatter. He has a big fat head with buck teeth, no neck and hair pulled back and tied in a pony-tail. He resembles a fat, greedy ground hog sticking it's head out of the dirt.
Wolfgang Puck - Now this guys is fun. Really fun. And he has great cooking skills and good taste. One thing he can improve on is the IQ level of the people he hires at his restaurants.
Alton Brown - An anal retentive white man who has succesfully managed through perfect measurements and technical flawlessness to cook out all of the flavor in his food so that is just as bland and boring as the place where he comes from, mid-west America.
Martin Yan Can Cook - A good showman. Fantastic gimmiky Chinese cleaver and wok stunts. Too bad his food is terrible and as unauthentic as his phony Chinese accent.
The Naked Chef - a.k.a. Jamie Oliver. This guy is pretty exciting and he uses a lot of herbs and spices from the far and middle east. He is very fast and entertaining. A pretty good cook. Only thing is how dirty he is. Poorly groomed hair with dark yellow rotting teeth and a constant runny nose that is as red as Rudolph's. His kitchen is a cesspool of bacteria and germs since he seldom washes anything, including his hands. |

He isnt even from New Orleans; he is from maryland I think. His restraunts are crap(especially NOLA) and extremly overpriced. In a city where almost every restraunt is good, and several of them are cheap. If you want good food go to Commander's, The Palace Cafe, or Arnouds.

Although, I do like the "Good Eats" show for the scientific angle on what goes on in the kitchen. And I got the most awesome Mac&Cheeze reciepe from him.

The guy is one of the most annoying people on TV, and everytime he says that "BAM!" thing, it goes right through my skull. Hate him. Hate his food. Next channel, please.

hmmm. I think I like you. | Cool. I'll check it out. Tony Bourdain is a rock star.
I travel to Tokyo a lot, and tracked down Nibiki, the Fugu place he visited in an eposide from Japan. I had a friend translate to the owner that I saw him and his restaraunt on US Television. His reply, according to my friend, was something to the effect of "how nice", but after we left, my friend told me that he had also muttered something sarcastic to his wife that translated to "just what we wanted, more gaijin". I'm glad my friend told me afterwards.
At least he didnt make a "mistake" cutting up the fish. |

I don't like it when Westerners go to Asia in order to pick up Asian women. Asian girls are for Asian boys. I'm not trying to be racist just respectful. How would we like it if some foreigners came and started taking our women? Heritage is important. |
