I don’t watch much television, but recently I’ve been watching the Food Network. Or should I call it the Big Food Fight Network.
I’ve seen battles among food truck cooks, grillers, cupcake chefs, and cake chefs of all kinds. And then, there’s the great Iron Chef contests.
The symbol of the crossed French knives, the knife slashing sounds, and the chairman’s confrontational comments makes it seem like a battleground instead of a kitchen.
Then Guy Fieri eats his way through diners, drive-ins, dives and says everything tastes fantastic.
New programs this fall will be “Food Feuds,” where chef Michael Symon will settle old food rivalries, and “Meat & Potatoes,” where Rahm Fama is supposed to track down the best meat in the country.
I don’t see any helpful information on the Food Network to help people overcome their weight problems, learn about nutrition, or improve their cooking skills.
During the Iron Chef contests, dishes are made that are so way out there that most people wouldn’t make them at home – even if they could figure it out.
Do you make foods you learn about from the Food Network? Let me know in the Comment section below.
