Slashfood Ate (8): Reasons why the Food Network still has my attention

Filed under: Far East , Television , Slashfood Ate , America Some of us love the Food Network . Some of us want to hate it, but can't. I am of the latter group. I want to ban the channel from my television for some of the things they have done to my viewing pleasure ( Iron Chef! Bring back Iron Chef! ), but I can't. I just can't do it because there are a few things that still capture my attention:

  1. I love watching Michael Chiarello throw together some seriously delicious looking Napa-terranean meals; better yet, I love watching him stroll through the vineyard in his jeans, caressing his grapes. (Oh my, did I blog that second part out loud?!?!)
  2. Tyler Florence is hot . I'd like to be Tyler's Ultimate .
  3. There is a rumor that the original Iron Chef is coming back (it is on the schedule at 4 am right now). Not confirmed, but a rumor is better than nothing.
  4. Paula Deen's food scares my fat cells, but she is too adorable when she is cooking with her sons .
  5. Alton Brown is good eats. 
  6. They will have Nigella Lawson some time this year
  7. By some glorious semi-homemade alignment of the stars, every time I turn the television on, Sandra Lee is not scheduled (unfortunately, Rachael Ray is, but that's a different post).
  8. Even though I am not a fan of Giada de Lauentiis , I like her taste in kitchens and clothes.
