I used to watch [censored]'s Kitchen, which I don't really consider a cooking show, but entertainment. However, the teams are now comprised of lowlives picked from the dregs of society and I have no desire whatsoever to watch their morosity. How do they find these people? Who wants those trogs cooking for them? Ack!
I usually don't watch cooking shows, because I don't get much out of them in terms of enjoyment or information. I have occasionally watched a bit Jacques Pepin or Julia Child and some Chef Prudhomme -- or was that Dom DeLuise? It's pretty much all I get over the air anyway.

One of the tools on [censored]'s Kitchen couldn't fry an egg. What the bloody [censored]...
Heck's Kitchen has really gone down hill. It has succumbed to to the low bar set by all of the other reality shows. I still like the show, but not for cooking. I just tune in to watch Ramsay ream the contestants. They really picked from the bottom of the barrel with this group. I mean what's up with Louross' hair? Looks like Sonic the Hedgehog.
Andrew Zimmermann lives locally (MPLS/STPL) and is a food critic for a local magazine. His show is cool, mostly exposing that what different cultures consider to be high cuisine is very different than American tastes. All done in a decent respectful manner while providing good entertainment value. Nothing like seeing a guy eat bulls balls, intestines, brains, chicken uterus, and all that awful offal.
On a similar note, someone asked Anthony Bourdain what the worst thing he had ever eaten was. His reply? "Chicken McNuggets." Awesome.

Glad I missed that episode. I loved his deep fried turkey rig.
If a TV "chef" can't explain the WHY, then I'm not listening.

The fried turkey rig was awesome! I think it was an engine hoist or something. Great idea actually.

Paula Deen? I guess she lives in the south, but she is more of a citified southerner. She's a fake. Way too "showy" for me.
I agree about Alton. If you can tell me why, I might listen. We have started using some of Flay's grill recipes. For the most part, they have been pretty good.

No, not her. There was another lady, but I haven't seen her show in years. She probably retired. Or died.

Surely you like Regina on PBS. She's Italian (and quite bald).
