hmmm.



i really like iron chef, used to hate it..



good eats is always really cool and well produced..



throwdown is good sometimes, but bobby flay is a prick most of the time.



diners, drive-ins and dives along with unwrapped are probably in my top picks.

Diners is a good show, but for the most part, i'd rather watch the food shows on Travel. Man vs. food, Bizarre foods and Bourdain are way more entertaining........of course, I am a chef, so the normal stuff bores the hell out of me!

Top favorites:

Next Iron Chef (I'm surprised they keep up with them - how many Iron Chefs are we going to have????)

Master Chef

Chopped



Used to like Top Chef until we discovered it was a soap opera instead. They leave in 2-3 drama kings/queens who barely know how to cook who make it to almost the final round. Turns it from a cooking show to a middle school "I hate you" "well I hate your guts" "well I hate your guts worse" show. Grow up and cook already! Plus the whole teams thing is just a bad idea.



I enjoy Iron Chef, but rarely watch it as it's not one of my wife's favorites.



Diners is ok for the making of the food, but I can only watch a big fat guy eat but so many times. "MMMM THIS IS SOOOOO GOOOOD!!" C'mon man.



Really can't stand The Best Thing I Ever Ate.

Used to watch Man vs Food all the time, but now they're all repeats. He needs to start doing new shows.

I like Triple-D, but I end up watching Chopped b/c their marathons usually cross paths with my "wtf is on?" time.

I like watching Rachael Ray - on mute usually, but I've enjoyed cooking some of her stuff.

I like Guy Fieri's cooking, but I'm not going to take time to do most of it.

hell, I watch almost anything.
