Paula Dean, Sandra Lee, and Rachel Ray, you guys kill me!!!!!

LOL sorry this is sort of a rant, its funny since I started eating healthy, I'm addicted to watching the food network. I like to watch people cook things I can't eat often haha

I was watching the food network, especially Paula Dean, and I can't even imagine the calorie amount in her food

*mouth drools* 

I often wonder how it is that they don't weigh more, especially Paula!  They must eat pretty darn lean and healthy when not taping a show.

yikes i can't stand to watch paula or rachel... they are some of the food network stars that just annoy me! i like to watch "diners drive ins and dives" with guy fieri, "throwdown" with bobby flay, and "ace of cakes" w/ duff goldman.. some of the food network challenges are interesting too.

Some of those shows, the ones that have beautiful camera work showing off wicked fattening food, I call "food porn"/

I can't stand Diners Drive-ins and Dives, it's such a celebration of gluttony. Guy's cooking show isn't bad though.

I'm pretty sure Sandra Lee doesn't eat much of anything. My favourite food show is Bizarre Foods on the Travel Channel. It's so awesome!!!

i think all the butter, sugar, etc that paula deen uses has finally started to affect her:

Ha, I love it.

I'm sure none of them eat the rich, multi-course meals they cook on the show each day. And watching Paula Deen is just amusing, seeing the sheer amounts of unecessary butter/oil/sweeteners she loads down her food with.

I love Iron Chef, Healthy Appetite, Good Eats, Emeril, Diners Drive-Ins and Dives, almost all the cooking shows; everything. But what gets me is how thin Giada de Laurentis is!

I love good eats and Diners Drive-ins, and dives!! I love Guy and his spiffy hair :)

I love Good Eats, "Triple D" (Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives), Dinner Impossible, Unwrapped, and a lot of the other Food Network Nighttime shows. The "in-the-kitchen" daytime ones are kinda boring sometimes though (Paula, Sandra Lee, etc) but I do enjoy Everyday Italian.

She was having a small seizure.

omg paula dean how i want to shoot her!!! i simply dont like her and i always want to puke after watching how much butter she adds to her food. i am in love with guy!!! haha triple d is one of my favorite shows =] rachel ray is pretty funny but giada's food seems a little bland but i get so confused at how shes so skinny but so welll built you know!! im so envious

good eats is great and that guy just makes me smile =] ha dinner impossible, unwrapped, and uhhh ace of cakes occasionally are what i watch...the others are just too boring for my liking

You guys are watching the shows the wrong way :-)

look at them and modify them, I exchange sugar for splenda and make other changes that reduce the fat and bread content.

I can't figureout Giada either, she is way too thin :-)

When Giada's show first came out there were some nasty rumours that Food Network had hired a model or actress, not a chef. Not true.

They just cancelled one of my favourite Food Network Canada shows: French Food at Home. It featured modern, light French food with way more olive oil than butter. Much better than Barefoot Contessa, which is mainly old school French food (butter and cream etc).

EDIT: I have to confess a weakness for the reality shows: Top Chef, Hell's Kitchen, that sort of thing.

Oh man Food Network is on at my apartment ALL the time! Paula is so entertaining to watch, but I'd be MORTIFIED to try some of her recipes!Sandra Lee and Giada give false hope to women lol. I mean they eat like that and still look great! I bet their food is amazing. I do love Throw Down with Bobby Flay and the new show Chopped is AWESOME!!!!

Good eats is my favorite! I also like unwrapped. I enjoy learning the history of foods/how things are made.

Good Eats - Alton Brown is my hero.

Kitchen Nightmares/The F Word are entertaining when I want to watch Gordon Ramsay cuss people out in addition to the whole "food" thing, too. :D

LMAO!

anthony bourdain on the travel channel is highly entertaining too!

good eats with alton brown is fun to watch - although after a while i need a break from alton, he can get annoying as hell.

ah yes yes! ever read any of his books?

I have been experimenting with some of Giada's recipes. I have found i can cut them down to not only one serving but also make them pretty healthy too. I love watching her cook, and practicing saying the different Italian words she uses. haha. She's adorable.

I like Paul Deen, she's funny. But every time I watch her eat anything I almost gag...its so unattractive. Her sons show is awesome though!

I like Bobby Flay and the ultimate throwdown, that show helped me learn how to make sushi.
