DH and I love Alton Brown, but we're both geeks, so that figures . I find Rachel Ray a little too annoyingly perky, but tend to like her recipes (fast and easy is my cooking style). I haven't watched in a long time since we haven't had cable in the last ~5 years but I used to love the crazy elaborate challenges -- baking/cake decorating/etc.
Oh yeah! Alton Brown OF COURSE. I love the Food Network so much that when we switched to Verizon I insisted we upgrade so I could get the Cooking Channel (their hipster foodie branch). Luckily that package had a lot of sports so H was amenable.

I LOVE watching Best Thing I Ever Ate, Unique Treats, Diners Dives, Drive Ins, etc.

I dislike Alton Brown for purely selfish reasons. His office is about a mile from my house. On an episode of "Best Thing I Ever Ate," he mentioned a Korean taqueria right down the street. Now I can't ever get a table.
Alton & Ina. I like Michael Chiarello, but he was only on for a brief stint loooong ago. I loved the original Nigella Bites (originally British tv, I think?) I don't watch the new show she is on, so I don't know if I still like her.

I really like Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, but I don't actually care for Guy Fieri much.
I love Ina Garten, DH and I make fun of her saying "use really good ____" and "give it a big stir" while cooking. I make a lot of her recipes and Giada's recipes. I like Giada for the most part, except when she says spaghetti and mozzarella. Ugh.
We watch a lot of Food Network too, because it's one of the only channels that is okay to have on around my very observant 4 year old.

Love triple D, but same on Guy Fieri. I once saw him described as "the human embodiment of Mountain Dew"

Okay Duff Goldman was always my favorite. We got our wedding cake from Charm City Cakes because I loved him that much. And we met Guy Fieri when we went for our design appointment!
I do love Ina Garten and her food, although like Charlie, I always chuckle at using "good"everything. No, I'm going to use my shitty vanilla and olive oil, lol.

I have a crush on Alton Brown, and despite all the drama lately I would still watch Paula Dean. Guy is cool too.
I miss food network so much. I used to be a freak about it and have it on constantly but since Sam has been born I've maybe flipped to it a few times. No time no time!
I have a crush on Bobby Flay, and like his shows, but I don't actually want to make most of his food.
But the Barefoot Contessa...oh man, Ina Garten is my dream chef.
And Giada's food looks good but I want to squeeze her oversized head whenever she does her stupid pronunciation of Italian words.
I watch a lot of food tv

Funny story about Ina Garten.... We were at a party talking about food shows. The guys were talking about hot they think Padma Lakshmi is. My DH then chimed in saying that he also thinks Ina Garden is so smoking hot, etc. obviously he meant Giada, but it was hilarious! The looks on everyone's face...
Sadz....I love Anne. Her cookbook rocks my world. I'm a huge Alton fan. HUGE! I love all cooking shows. I hate that I watch them late at night when I don't need to cook or eat all the deliciousness they are showing.
