You would have to nail my feet to the floor and tape my eyelids open to watch Paul Deen by herself let alone with The Second (assuming hubby is The One).

her EXAGGERATED accent REALLY GETS ON MY NERVES! I have always thought of her as a "professional Southerner" for just those reasons. And I agree with you about her cooking. It's nothing special; it's all about self-promotion.
As for Bourdain, he's no different except he does have training. I watch a lot of cooking shows. I love to cook. But I'm getting more than a little tired of the elevation of cooking to the metaphysical/psychological.
Watch Top Chef. The judges spend more time talking about "what does it say about him/her" than how it tastes. It's food. Not a Rohschach test, and the people who prepare it aren't artists or rockets scientists. Just make it taste good. I pretty much don't even care how it looks.

Presentation becomes important at public events and (to a lesser extent) when you are out on a date with someone who identifies "slop" with the cafeteria.

Have always wanted to know more about wine. In fact, a couple of years ago for Christmas I bought my then significant other a kit that taught you what to look for in different wines. Alas, she’s gone and I don’t know where thie kit is!

I've never liked Paula Deen. I can't stand the phony either. She is so over the top. I think she is as over exposed as Rachael Ray.

We watched the first season. The young man who won was the perfect example of your post. While so many were pretentious and pretended to be grand chefs, he made no boasts about himself. He called himself a cook, not even chef; although he was obviously trained and very talented.
Paula has always come across as a caricature of the South, with mediocre cooking.

I have no problem with Ray Ray as long as she keeps her mouth shut and only shows her south end...

For some reason I care about Bourdain. He seems lost and somehow searching. I agree he seems like he is burned out and been around the block far too many times. Would like to see him saved. I pray for him. Surprisingly when I last watched him he actually was giving up smoking.

I had always liked Paula Deen. She must have eaten one too many sticks of butter.

Let’s all write the Food Network and let them know that we are cutting Paula. Taking her off my scheduled recording.

I still enjoy the show. I think I'm actually talking about the judges more than the contestants.
You have Padma, who probably never cooked a meal in her life, but who has "written" several cookbooks, probably with recipes she found elsewhere. I could do the same. I have almost 60,000 recipes on this computer (no kidding. I highly recommend MasterCook).
Then you have the very attractive (in my opinion) Gail Simmons, who, as a professional food writer has to make cooking sound more cerebral than it is, and thus making herself the same. It's kinda like every Democrat Presidential candidate is always smarter than his Republican opponent. Both premises are false, but it validates the self-image of those involved.

I thought that I was the only one that Ms. Paula was/is/always will be a phony... I can't stand watching her and her frat-boy sons... I really like watching Bobby Flay... maybe because he found the secret for snagging a hot Texas chick for a wife... by watching, I keep thinking I'll learn his "secret" to success.
