What I hate about The Food Network



is watching the Barefoot Contessa moaning while eating, cause the food is so good, or her smacking her lips and sucking her fingers..I hate when people eat and make noises ...I just think that part of the food network is stupid.

most of the food network personalities make those stupid faces and noises when they eat. it is stupid. its like, i hope the food is good or you wouldn't be showing us how to cook it. you dont have to make those stupid faces.

as far as the barefoot contessa, if i hear her talk about her husband one more time i am going to murder him.

I don't like the Barefoot Contessa, she makes all these smacking noises when she eats.


I like the fat guys, Mario Batali and Emeril. Old school chefs professionally trained. I also like Tyler the new guy with the spikey hairdo. He seems so good natured and friendly (the perfect guest)

Giata gets on my nerves too. The only reason she got a show is because Dino DeLaurentis, big movie producer is her GrandDad.

I happen to like Mario and Emeril, but my favorite is Cat Cora she rocks on the Iron Chef challenge.

Never heard of her - but also did hear about Mario and Emeril.

Those cooking competitions are pretty horrid, though. They have teams competing to beat the clock. How are they supposed to get it down right under all of that unnecessary pressure? Then the judges are quick to decide, and none of it looks too terribly appetizing anyhow.

hmmm That entire Food Network seems way out of touch with reality with those exotic products nobody ever heard of nor cares about. What a major waste to butcher poor defenseless animals and to make sport of them like that, right?

You will never witness a host/reporter on camera say they dislike the food they are tasting.

reply

hmmm Like, does anybody find that the least bit appetizing?

It sort of defeats its own purpose, right?

Mellow Salutations!

Ohh I HATE it when people lick their fingers after they eat, and chew with their mouths open, disgusting, disgusting habit (one of my biggest pet peeves).

It sounds like you must have a problem with women who enjoy eating....yes, some smacking can be annoying, but it isn't the end of the world, nor is it the fault of the Food Network. They enjoy food, don't you?

As for the Batalis & Emirels, those guys usually NEVER eat anything they made on tv...they serve it to the audience members instead! I mean, I'm sure they love to eat food as well and make all sorts of noise eating, but are lame (or smart) enough to hide it from the public eye.
Just because the ladies sample their dishes, close their eyes and moan in ecstacy, does NOT make it a bad thing!! In fact, it's quite good, to me! I love a woman who can enjoy herself and isn't so self-concious that she has to hide herself with a napkin, eat like a bird, or whatever...
The only one that used to get to me (I don't watch her anymore) was Paula - she'd put a huge spoonful of stuff in her mouth and had to cover it up to not be so gross...she over-ate, I think, or at least should have taken smaller bites! I'm sure she's a great cook though!

Giada is a babe, period. She can smack her lips anytime she wants!
The Barefoot big gal, hey she likes to eat, what can I say? You should look as good as she does when you're over 60 yrs old!
I think the main one people are sick & tired of is Rachel Ray - if I had to hear her say "Yummo!" again, I'd scream. Yeah, she's a pain, but she's still kinda cute, though superficial/fake.


What's your favorite foods?
And which foods would you be embarassed eating on a first date?
