It was a tossup for me between Emeril, Jamie (who won.. I have a weakness for Brits ;>) and other, since Food Network Canada has all
these chefs plus Michael Smith (Inn Chef, Chef at Large - on which he gets to do cool stuff like cooking for (and eating with) the Raptors),
Martin Yan and others ;)

Just wanted to point out that my vote for the last option is not meant as an insult
to the Food Network, its employees, or its viewers. I have nothing against food. I
actually like food quite a lot. I even like watching people cook food (especially at
hibachi places.....). If I were the TV-watching, channel-surfing type, I'd probably
stop on the Food Network quite frequently. But, since I'm not (I'd rather just
spend all day in front of the computer learning to be a geek...having to split my
time between too many screens gets overwhelming ;)), I don't really have
adequate data to pick a favorite chef/TV show/news anchor/whatever.

You make me choose between Alton Brown, Jamie Oliver, Iron Chef
Morimoto and Other (Ming Tsai)? Oh you evil evil man!
And what about... er... whatshisname? The guy who does A Chef's Tour? The stuck up New York/French guy who hates tripe but likes stinky malaysian fruit? I love him... :) Jaime Oliver deserves extra props though, 'cause he's from England where most of the people he encounters have never eaten anything that didn't come from a tin. "I've never seen tuna like that before" -British Girl, bewildered at the sight of a fresh tuna steak
Of course everything Jamie Oliver is gonna be good. Add a quart of cream and a
pound of butter to anything, and it'll taste good!
oh, he cooks? i thought he just stood in front of the camera looking dreamy all
day.

Gee, I'm the first Iron Chef vote. What's wrong with you people? :D
Although, if I could vote my true choice, it wouldn't be any of the chefs themselves. I doubt anyone out there can name me a cooler host than Kaga! I mean, when was the last time you saw Jeff Smith dramaticaly bite into a pepper and smirk? Not to mention, Julia Child would never wear robes like those!
"Quisan!"
"Yes, Ohta!" "It appears that the challenger is preparing a dish with basil, endive, parmesean, *and* shrimp!" "That certainly sounds interesting! I wonder how he plans to work the theme ingredient into this one!" "I asked Mr. Saucep'n that, and he said 'Don't worry, there'll be plenty of hamster in this dish!' Back to you!"

You mean there are TV shows outside of Buffy and Noggin? Weird.

Ok, so she's actually not on Food Network, but on Style, but Nigella Lawson rules!
I want to be her when I grow up!

okay, so I don't know if they ever played his show on the Food Network. but Jeff
Smith was great, and so what if he's retired... There's also an Italian guy who was on just after him... but I can't remember his name.. but he loved food. it was fun watching him because he was having so much fun and loving what he was doing.
Oh yeah! The Frugal Gourmet ruled, if only because Elmo made occasional guest
appearances. :)

On Food Network, my current favorite is Rachel Ray, hostess of "30 Minute Meals."
On PBS, I like MaryAnn Esposito of "Ciao Italia" and *adore* Lidia Bastianich of "Lidia's Italian Table" or some-such.
I'll second that! 30 Minute Meals is really underrated, but there's a ton of
good stuff on that show. Lidia is also great. I'm suprised at the lack of votes
for Mario Batali as well, I love the authentic strange Italian food he comes up
with. It's not always the most practical thing for Joe Blow from Goose Praire,
KS to cook, but he's always interesting to listen to. And I'm also suprised that
Emeril got any votes at all. Shame. :-)

That is got to be the most addictive show on the planet! Morimoto Is by far the
man, making the insane dishes and destroying those that would try and survive his
wake!

How could you *NOT* include David Rosengarten in such a poll... "Taste" was the
foundation of the food network TV's programming and a foodie/amateur chef's
porn-like addiction (As The French Laundry Cookbook is every professional Chef's
"flashlight-under-the-sheets stroke book) (Pardon my allusions)!!!

what a tough choice..
Good Eats is hilarious. Iron Chef is just cool. so is Mario eats Italy. (Emeril is starting to grate on my nerves a bit tho - sorry, but must they have him on *every* other show?) my vote goes to Jamie Oliver...very cute, even funnier, and his recipies are easy to follow. "C'mon mate! This food is really pukka!" You must first create an account to post.
