Actually that's the one channel I don't roll my eyes about. :)
Actually, my husband appreciates my improved cooking skills too, thanks to the Food Network. However, even he can appreciate the humor of Alton Brown, especially when he refered to home-made beer that hasn't been properly made as smelling (and tasting) like, "something filtered through the rearend of a skunk." My husband was doubled over, ROTFLOL!
