I wet through a phase maybe 10 years ago where pretty much all I watched was Food Metwork. Then one day it hit me- I hate all these annoying chefs and I never even make any of the recipes. Just like that I stopped and never watched it again.
My vote is a tie with Rachael Ray (does she still have that annoying talk show?h or Ina Garten. She fawns over her husband Jeffrey, like some love struck, giddy teenager and they’re what- like 70 now? Get over it already!
Rachel was cute when she did the travel on 3 bucks a day show (or whatever that was). I don’t like her cooking show, but I do have an RR cookbook...hardly use it though!
I watched the Food Network when they had some good cooking shows, like Sara Moulton, Ming Tsai, Caprial Pence and Two Fat Ladies. Like you, I lost interest when the chefs became increasingly obnoxious.
