Who do you hate on Food Network?

[MrPink]

There are a few people on the Food Network that I seriously hate. Rachael Ray being one of them along with Robin Miller. They have no special training that I know of. Rachael always talks about her "grampa" did this or did that. And Robin Miller just makes shitty leftover food and her theme song is utterly horrible.

So who do you hate on the food network?

Fat Is Afraid Of The Skinny, Ultra-Boney, Anorexic Sandra Lee, Who Comes On All Perky At 5:30 Each Week Night, But Underneath That Facade Of Fun There Lurks An Ax-Murderer.

She Makes Her Crappy Recipes Out Of 50% Packaged And 50% Fresh Ingredients. Like That Should Be A TV Show! Her Idea Of A Gourmet Dessert Is Packaged Vanilla Wafers Beat Up With Cool Whip And Stuff Like That.

Fat Thinks Her Food is Icky....And So Is She!

Something about Bobby Flay just annoys me.

You know those ads for the new Bobby Flay show "Throwdown with Bobby Flay" where they detail all the things Bobby Flay is. . . Iron Chef, cookbook author, restaurateur . . . I never cease commenting that they left off the last and, in my opinion, most important descriptor of what Bobby Flay is.

The following three words:

Whiny Little Bitch

This is especially sad because he has some fucking GREAT recipes!

(And Sandra Lee is my second most-hated FoodNetwork personality. Anyone who is as obsessed with "tablescapes" as she is needs professional help.)

[Tenbatsuzen]

She's leaving out the time she got physically violent watching him on tv.

He really does but this guy just bugs the hell outta me. It does seem like he's a whiny little bitch though. You're right about that.

If Sandra Lee is the one who has a guy playing the guitar on her show, I'm with you. :lol:

alton brand, or whatever his name is. that guy really irritates me.

[Landblast]

Rachael Ray being one of them along with Robin Miller. They have no special training that I know of.

Rachel Ray has always says she isn't a chef and had no training and that she's self taught.
I'm actually embarrased that I know that.
That Sandra woman doesn't seem like a hardcore foodie.

alton brand, or whatever his name is. that guy really irritates me.

people LOVE him on this board, but he's way too smug and smarmy for me.

That cause she's fat and always has her gay friends on?

[Reephdweller]

I don't mind Bobby Flay on some shows, problem is they WAY over use him. Throwdown with Bobby Flay really annoys me because it's so obviously scripted. Unless I've missed one or two episodes he loses every fricken time and bitches about it. He can demolish someone on Iron Chef America but he'll lose badly in a jambalaya contest or whatever. Awful!!

My absolute all time most hated Food Network personality though is Rachael Ray. I can't stand her or her stupidly annoying voice. I hate her with the fire of a thousand suns!!!!!!!!!

[crb1]

Rachel Ray is the worst. How many shows does she have now? 5?

I have to say though that those stupid "Challenge" shows are a close second. I don't really care who can make the best abstract sculpture out of meringue.

[crb1]

He lost on his first Iron Chef appearance and whined about it there, too. (http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1072582)

Hence my comment that Bobby Flay is a whiny little bitch.


Alton Brown (http://www.altonbrown.com) is so cute and cuddly, how could you not love him and his wire-rimmed glasses???

Anyone who can simultaneously evoke Mr. Wizard's World, Pee Wee's Playhouse, supply factoids & dorky props and make me look up each and every recipe or piece of equipment on each and every episode

He is not smarmy (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/smarmy). He is, occasionally, snarky (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/snarky), but certainly not smarmy.

You must be confusing him with the aforementioned whiny bitch Bobby (fucking) Flay.























(Did I mention how much I absolutely LOATHE (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/loathe) Bobby Flay in this thread yet?)

[RicShaw]

I like Alton Brown, probably more than I should like another man. The one I find unwatchable is Emeril. I don't know why but he annoys me very much.

[RoseBlood]

I am waiting for the "I am chubby and have no boobs: The RACHAEL RAY made-for-tv movie" to come out followed by the sequeal: "I put EVOO on everything".

i stand by smarmy, as in its synonym unctuous (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/unctuous) (insincerely, self-servingly, or smugly agreeable or earnest) with a little bit of fake self-deprecating thrown in to boot.

haha that is so true... I like Bobby Flay and the show but every person he "throws down" with thinks they're doing some special profile. Yet the food network which these people all watch never does do those special profile shows.

[LiddyRules]

I like Alton Brown, probably more than I should like another man. The one I find unwatchable is Emeril. I don't know why but he annoys me very much.

well when they filmed them all there wasn't a throwdown show on the air either.

oh I didn't realize that.... Hasn't throwdown been on for a while?

[commish13]

I'm a big fan of Alton Brown, and I also absolutely LOVE Giada. She's fantastic.

I don't watch anything on that channel other than them, though, so I guess there's nobody to hate since I haven't seen them.

[sailor]

oh I didn't realize that.... Hasn't throwdown been on for a while?

i think it was just this one season. they lulled the people in saying it was a new show. it was, just not the one they thought. i enjoyed it, but it made me feel rather uncomfortable a lot. i think they filmed all the episodes before airing any. like how ron & fez filmed their appearance on food network star (like the next to last episode of the show) months before the first show aired.

[KnoxHarrington]

Just because he hasn't been mentioned yet, I have to throw Emeril into this conversation. His act is so utterly tired at this point.

"We're gonna kick it up a notch!" Are we?

[PhishHead]

dont you mean "i put EVOO, extra virgin olive oil, on everything"

That is the thing that pisses me off about her whenever she says EVOO she says what it stands for, what is the point of an acronym if everytime you use it you say what it stands for?

i say this EVERYTIME i watch the show. it makes no sense.

and if i hear one more fucking story about her mom or husband, i might punch someone.

why does she insist on wearing spandex shirts?

sometimes when he shows up the person knows what they are there for before he explains the throw down concept? they would have to have seen the show right?

Its so stupid its like someone going around saying "I go to MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology".

oh god i hate her and her fake 30 minute meals, yea its 30 minutes if everything is already prepared for you when you enter the kitchen by the magical elves.

doesn't she cook everything live starting with unprocessed ingredients?

ive seen her have shit already prepared and also when she takes a commercial break they come back and the shit is magically done when it would take a normal person double the time.

i think they filmed 12 episodes before any aired. also, they tell the person they are going to be on the food network, but on a different show

Don't most shows do this? Expect those other shows aren't being promoted as "30 minute meals".

[Thrice]

I abhor the follow shows on Food Network:

Emeril Live
Glutton for Punishment
Barefoot Contessa
Ace of Cakes
Anything with Rachael Ray
Healthy Appetite with Ellie Krieger
The NEW The Secret Life Of...
and the commerical for Simply Delicioso makes me want to drown a pitbull.

Everything else is at least somewhat entertaining.

[Kathleen From The Bronx]

Yeah, I too cannot stand that Rachel Ray..... I call her, "ecalir tits," and I end up hearing back a lot of, "well that's just mean." Ahhh... it is cruel of me... That's not her fault... but the rest of her lame asss act is, and I yell, "BOOOOOO!!!!" ....cause it's laaaaame......

Oh my GOD... I loathe her Dunkin Donuts commercials too..... and I hate that in the aisles of Safeway there are little signs with her picture on them suggesting, "While you're here, why not pick up som E.V.O.O."

Here's someone else....I haven't seen this guy Gordon Elliot in a while... but oh my GOD... he used to aggravate the hell outta me. He had a few shows, one was called Door Knock Dinners... He would not stop speaking in aliteration!!! Constantly! Shit like, "perfectly pleasing pumpkin pie," and, "simply sinful swordfish." Do you understand!?? One time I had this plan that I'd send him a, "fan letter," acting like I was a lil fan.... but see.... when I'd get to the end where a fan would write something like, "best regards," or, "love always," instead, I would sign it, "Gordon Elliot, you are one aliteration away from a death threat."

Again.... maybe I go a little too far?

You ever see the show listing on foodtv.com. There must be 50 different shows listed, some that I've never heard of, that are on time and again. It's not hard to imagine food network trying to come up with some crazy thing.

Throwdown is in it's second season, which was recorded after the first aired. That's why a bunch of these people know what Bobby Flay is there for when he shows up now.

Oh, and I really can't stand Barefoot Contessa and Sandra Lee. I might be able to live with the Countessa as backgroung noise but if Sandra Lee is on anywhere in the house I go insane and force it to be shut off. The annoying table decorations and ridiculous fruity drinks with sugar dipped glasses just bother me to no f'n end.

This post made my day!

My vote is for the barefoot contessa.

http://images.foodnetwork.com/webfood/images/tv/showtitles/barefoot_contessa.jpg

I cannot fucking stand listening to her snotty comments about how much she does for her "friends" and "guests" that are "coming over". Just go away.

And did anyone else think it was a hypocritical that the exec's on "The Next Food Network Star" ripped on J.A.G. for what he said on the Ron and Fez show about the lack of Latino culture and food being represented on the network... and then, suddenly, "coincidentally", they wheel out this "Simply Delicioso" show last month? Hmmm...

[Fat_Sunny]

F_S Used To Be Totally In Love With Rachel Ray.
Then, He Came To Think She Was OK, And Then Later, Just Tolerable.
Now He Can't Stand Her With All Her Fake Perkiness And Dumb Jokes And Stupid Food.
This Change In Opinion Has Occured Rapidly Over The Last Couple Of Months.
Funny, That.

But It Continues To Be Sandra Lee That Makes Fat's Skin Crawl. Seriously, She Is Demented.

Also, There Is A Guy Who Is The Female Sandra Lee, Who Sickens F_S. He Cooks Mexican Food, And Has Blond Hair But A Grey Little Beard And The Most Horrible Voice And Smarmy Mannerisms. He Isn't Mexican, But He Should Be Deported. Yech!

Now, F_S Is About To Grill A Couple Of Hot Dogs For Dinner. Anyone Have Any Ideas On A Suitable TableScape? F_S Likes Everything "Just So" !

[Hottub]

I am going to hate my show, once it airs. It is going to be Hottub at the grill. Lovingly prepping and marinating the various meats and veggies. But while doing so, I will be consuming way too much beer. I will end up slurring, burning the meat, and leering at all the chicks' boobies.:drunk::thumbup:
