    Is there a food network thread?

    I was watching the new series Tournament of Champions where 16 really really good FN chefs compete in a bracket style competition hosted by Guy Fieri. There was a huuuuuuuge upset and I want to talk about it hahaha

    I like it! It’s kind of relaxing like chopped because the editing isn’t annoying, and they have to make a certain meal with certain ingredients and cooking methods. All random.

    Ugghhh I just want to post a huge spoiler but I’ll save it haha. All I’m saying is a chef I recognized from GGG won against a prominent chef.

    I'm going to start watching it tonight! You've sold me. I miss Iron Chef so much. Top Chef should be back soon though.

    Actually what I like most about it is that the judging is completely blind. The chefs watch it from another room, and they had a reporter who took notes on their cooking relay info to the judges.

    that sounds like it makes for a good competition. do you watch any other food shows on a regular basis?

    I tend to enjoy the cheesy seasonal champion shows, like spring baking or Easter baking challenges haha. Chopped, guy’s shows, worst cooks, and I liked cooks vs cons when that was on. Just random ass competitive cooking shows haha. I haven’t expanded my tastes much more than that but I’m open to it

    edit; oh oh I fucking loooove Good Eats, as someone who has two chem degrees and is teaching chemistry in a college haha. His science background info is awesome.

    Food Network and the earlier random cooking shows on like PBS taught me how to cook, 100 percent.

    I was not as into food four years ago, when I never watched food network. I’ll tell ya that. I made food with my mom, Eastern European and Ukrainian things, but never expanded into Mediterranean or Indian until recently

    Good Eats is fantastic. I watched Chopped all the time for years, but now I'm sort-of Chopped-out.

    Likewise, that and lots of reading. I was in a deep depression for years and leaving the Food Network on constantly while I was shut-off from the world really helped me.

    Mexico One Plate at a Time is my shit. But there's a bunch of great shows on PBS and The Cooking Channel too.

    wrap yourself in petals for armor.

    I watched Food Network all the time growing up because my mom loved it. One time she was on an episode with Sara Molton! Not in person but she called in over the phone and cooked the recipe along with her, I remember my mom having a big party that day.

    Do you prepare it in your oven or on your grill? I'm curious.

    Alton is/was (it's not a priority show so idk if it's still airing) a judge on Worst Cooks' most recent season. The show is little boring but his reactions to the cooks are so funny. Poor guy:crylaugh:

    nice! that could produce some really great flavor, especially if you finish or start it somewhere really, really hot.

    I’m doing research for my trip to Montreal and found a cheese shop with over 850 cheeses and that’s now the #1 place we have to go.
