Melonious Thunk Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I agree. It's a good move for her on many fronts. The fit with her company, image, distribution and more is very good. He still has room for growth, even though he became over exposed on FoodTV. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 With some of the outfits she's been wearing, the most exposed person on FN is Giada. And that's surprising since her cooking is quite sound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Daisy Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 That's not really accurate. Nigella has been wearing twinsets on her show for years. Back to when her first husband was still alive. If there's anything more staid than that..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mitchells Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 The shows I like to watch:  Lidia Bittman Colameco Pepin Ming (sometimes) Essence of Emeril  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rebecca Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Those late night/3:00 AM reruns of Alton Brown. Still learn things. I wish they would back out all the preps for Iron Chef. I'd really like to SEE each step of using those small pressure cookers, for instance. Congratulations to Emeril and Martha. Never thought watching grandma cook would bring ya $45 million. All those long days on cement floors and at Commander's Palace served you well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deb Van D Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Rick Bayless' weird, halting speech pattern makes me insane.He talks like he's stoned. It used to bug me. Now I just imagine he's high, and that makes me a little more tolerant of it. Â Someone here compared him to Carole Channing. Works for me. Â Huh, Carole Channing. There's something in that. Â To me he's always sounded like a cross between Vincent Price and Peter Lorre with maybe just a spramp of Boris Karloff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
