I don't care for the new guy....... seems to "David Letterman" for me, if you know what I mean.
I love Rachel Ray. They do play a lot of her on FN, and that makes me happy.
I'm crazy about Bobby Flay, and I really like Paula Deen and her boys. I like Unwrapped, and some of Alton Brown's shows, but it really depends on the subject. I like Iron Chef a lot, too. I'm looking forward to Duff's cake show, and love any of the cake decorating challenges.
I can't stand Giada DeLaurentiis, that smile is actually irritating, woman has too many teeth
You want people to take you seriously then put on a shirt that doesn't have so much cleavage.
I can't stand her!!! or Sandra. I love Rachael, Alton & Paula. Emeril depends on my mood....
Someone mentioned Alton as sexy...Is it just me or is Keegan adorable also.....I love the challenge shows just to see him...
Alton is my absolute favorite but a close second would be the "secret life of... That guy is just too cute with that little lopsided smile plus I like to see the whole "origin" thing.
Rachael Ray is getting to be a bit much for me. I like her, but not for 5 shows in a row 3 nights a week. I do like the new "Guy". I also like Ham on the street.
No, I don't spend too much time on Food Network. I spend about as much time on there as I do on here and thats just not much at all......BWAHAHAHAHAHA
I like the new "Guy" because he's out there - his look puts him outside the box. I think his show is targeted more towards men, because in one of his commercials he describes his meals as large in quantity but healthy (not verbatim). I am assuming that the portions will be geared more towards a man's appetite. That's alright with me, because the men in my family are all big eaters.
I don't watch FN very often anymore, because it seems to be the same 12 people day in and day out.
I will not apologize for saying that I do not like Rachel - I find her annoying for several reasons - and there is no reason why I should have to look at any of those cooks/chefs for up to 3 hours per day.
Sandra Lee - definitely not a cook, and the only thing I have really learned from her is how many different ways a person can decorate a store-bought angelfood cake.
Surreal Gourmet - also out there and ok by me. Bob Blumer was a standout for eclectic foods and preparation. His recipes are still available at www.foodnetwork.ca - this is the Canadian version of FN in the USA.
Sugar - is not shown in the USA, but there are some great recipes to be found there.
My faves are (no particular order):
Barefoot Contessa
Paula's Home Cooking
Sugar Rush
Good Eats
The Secret Life Of....

I am laughing soooo hard right now! I must first say that I watch the FN more than I ever read our local paper, if that says anything.
My favorites are: Paula Dean, Alton Brown, Tyler Florance, & Ina Garten.
I like to watch Emeril, but don't ever fix anything of his. He is very personable and I think that is what makes him fun to watch.
Love to watch the original Iron Chef, but wouldn't touch any of that food with a ten foot pole. Shark fin, anyone?
Like the new version of it, and glad they finally got a female chef on there to represent us! Go Cat Cora!
Can't stand Bobby Flay at all! He is so full of himself! Immediate turn-off for me.
HATE MARTHA STEWART! Actually had a party when she went to jail. 
Rachael Ray is hot according to my hubby, but she gets on my nerves too! With all her names for her foods combined together (like jambasta - jambalya and pasta) and how 'wonderful' every single bite of food tastes gets on my last nerve.
Sandra is a wannabe cook. If it doesn't have alcohol in it, she probably won't drink it (I seriously wonder if she has a drinking problem). Oh, I saw the episode where she kept touching the raw chicken then touching all the other food without washing her hands. Grossed me out! I almost contacted FN myself. YUCK!
Alton is rather sexy... in a strange kind of way. I've learned a lot from Good Eats. Love it! Can't wait for his new show to start.
And does anyone else think the commentator on the Food Challenge shows is hot???? I can't remember his name cause I'm too busy thinking of how hot he is. Yummy. hahahahaha 
Giada is ok. I'll watch her if nothing else is on.
Can't stand the Party line boys. I know they won the first 'Star' challenge, but I'd rather beat my head against the countertop then even listen to them talk back and forth. FN- please cancel their show already please!!!
Haven't see the new guy yet. Will have to watch and see. He looks like a frat boy to me. Anxious to let him try though.
OK...where did I read that Sandra Lee is married to one of the big mucky mucks of FN and that is why she has a show??? ...I'd swear that is what I read..or heard....anyone else read that??

If he has brown kinda flat top spike hair and glasses that are straight across the top that is Keegan!
Hey, Fourangelsmommie --
Are you speaking of Keegan Gerhard? I do not like him at all
- I was at the NY Chocolate Show last year, where he MC'd the guest chef events. He was asking trivia questions and giving out prizes. He asked a certain question, and after a woman I know answered the question correctly, he decided to change it to a 2-part question. When she couldn't answer the second part, he waved his hand at her and said, "Aw, you don't know anything about Elvis." I happen to know this person very well, and I know that she knew more about Elvis than he did before he did that challenge. The entire audience laughed at her, which hurt and humiliated her deeply.
I think he is as full of himself as Bobby Flay, if not more so.

I think you mean the bald guy! I don't know his name but yes he is cute!
So lovin this topic...
My Favs:
Paula Deen, Alton Brown, Secret life of..., Unwrapped
Absolutly can't stand the Barefoot contessa or Sandra Lee; the could use AA. Too much alcohol on their shows.
I can tolerate rachel depending on what the episode is about.
BUT... Since I had our cable turned off to make sure my girls don't watch too much TV while I'm gone during the day; I haven't seen any of these. 
I think I punished myself.
Yes, I do think his name is Keegan. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
I may need to post this down in the 'naughty' section.
But I do hate to hear that he humiliated this lady. What a turn-off. Please tell me he isn't like Bobby Flay! My heart is breaking.....
I can still dream, can't I?????
Oh, LOVE the comment about Sandra teaching a million and one ways of how to decorate a store bought angel food cake! That is SO true!
My hubby just said " They need to leave Rachael alone. There is nothing wrong with her". Like I said, he has the hots for her.
The bald guy from the challanges IS cute. He is also the blue kitchen's sous chef on Hells Kitchen! I just realized that the other day because they rarely really SHOW them in HK. I love blad men in general though, even had my hubby shave his head...thank god his head is round. LOL.
Oh girls, that voice is intoxicating. I could just shut my eyes and listen all day long. But heck, why shut your eyes when he is such eye candy? Keegan is just hot.
I'll have to watch Hell's Kitchen to check that out. My hubby loves Gorden Ramsey's attitude.
Voices in general do something to me, especially British accents. Sean Connery, Pierce Bronson, etc. I'm drooling now. Much like when I have a cheesecake in my kitchen. 
My ex-boss is Scottish and I can barely understand him!
It's weird because I used to watch the FN all the time and now I hardly have time to watch.
I used to LOVE Tyler's Food 911. He is very good looking and I liked the stuff that he came up with.
I can take Rachel in doses also, she's way too animated sometimes. I think she'd be great doing a kid's cooking show. But the cutesy nicknames for every recipe is a bit much and if I hear her say EVOO one more time...
I love Barefoot Contessa and have gotten some great recipes from her show.
Everyday Italian I'll watch sometimes. She can also take away from the show...something about her.
I'll sometimes watch..oh what is it....Entertaining..something? Easy Entertaining with Michael something or other. LOL Know who I'm talking about? He makes some interesting foods sometimes but I'm not crazy abotu him.
I have an unpopular opinion when it comes to Paula Deen, not a big fan.
Alton Brown is the man. You can learn so much from watching his shows. It took me awhile before I realized they did taping here...I recognized some of the grocery stores he goes into.
Love the original Iron Chef too (hence the name). The opening scenes crack me up! The way that host (who looks like a drag queen) takes a honking bite out of that bell pepper. HAHA
I have an apron signed by Iron Chef Morimoto.
