Daniel Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Just watched Tyler Florence make the Ultimate baked Fish sandwich.. I have no clue what you guys are talking about.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
galleygirl Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I love Mary Ann Esposito. She lives in New Hampshire--is that the type of accent she has? Her voice doesn't bother me like Rick Bayless' voice. Oh, and that nasty, wispy facial hair of his. I completely agree about the broadening-of-horizons when it comes to Mexican cuisine, however. If they dubbed his voice, they'd have something! And speaking of hair, has Lydia Bastianich been using spray-on hair? It kinda looks it.... On another note, I still haven't gotten over the loss of the Two fat ladies. (Yes, I know one is still alive; I mean the show...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Rancho, you missed Tyler's Sandwich, he was making San Francisco sandwiches because he was using sourdough.. And to make it extra California, he used Avacado.. Who adds avacado to a sandwich, only you wild spirits out West.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flyfish Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Every time I see this topic I think it is about the Denys Arcand film The Decline of the American Empire (Le déclin de l'empire américain). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
splinky Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 And speaking of hair, has Lydia Bastianich been using spray-on hair? It kinda looks it.... i think she does on tv, lately. probably because of the glare. but when i've seen her in real life she's au natural. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Carolyn Tillie Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 And speaking of hair, has Lydia Bastianich been using spray-on hair? It kinda looks it.... i think she does on tv, lately. probably because of the glare. but when i've seen her in real life she's au natural. "In real life," her hair is so thin that you can clearly see her scalp so it wouldn't surprise me if she somehow enhances it for television. I'm curious about something, however... Even when I had cable, I never bothered with the Food Network but loved the "Great Chefs of Europe" series on Discovery. I would occasionally tune into the Food Network for the Bocuse d'Or documentary and I'm wondering if they still document that event. Now, with no television, I do download stuff; mostly from Britain. However I recently got a bunch of interesting "Modern Marvel" series; tea, milk, butchery, etc. Now THOSE are fabulous and fascinating! But as for actual instructional cooking shows? I miss Jeff Smith (despite his faults)... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Melonious Thunk Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 So much of food tv is now a competitive sport, much like so much else on tv. Sure it may get ratings, but teach something? Who gives a shit? I am so sick of the I win/you lose theme in so much of today's media. The best thing I can do is ignore it. The next best thing is to insult people who like it.

rancho_gordo Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I was going to give him the award as the most unattractive person on Food TV (and believe me, there was a lot of competition) but now I'll just say he looks like a BIG FAT LIAR!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
