Ranked #2,232 in Entertainment, #59,165 overall

Okay, it's addictive. From Mario Batali to Bobby Flay, if it's in the kitchen, it's on Food Network.

It's my guilty pleasure-and I'm not alone. The network is seen in 100 million households. In addition to New York, it has offices in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit and Knoxville.*

Now the men and women behind the dishes are celebrities in their own right. Average people now understand concepts like brazing, carmelization and searing. From "Good Eats" to "Everyday Italian" to "30 Minute Meals" America has discovered a new romance in their kitchen. These folks are leading the culinery revolution! Bon Appetit!

    Although I do like some of Rachael's receipes, I can't stand her laugh after her so called funny comments. She's the only one laughing. Am fussy about the use of good grammar too and she could care less about it. Was amused at Bill Clinton watching her. Can't believe how Oprah likes her.

Alton Brown 

If I had all the money in the world, I'd hire Alton Brown for a year just to teach me "the ways of food". His "Feasting on Asphalt" was one of the most amazing shows on television-a subtle reminder of his filmmaking roots. I'd drop everything to work on his show. Did you hear that Alton? I'd drop everything... really...

    I just want to know why in so many receipes, does Alton insist on using "UNSALTED" butter only to later add salt to the mixture. Why not just use SALTED butter? Is it because the salt in the butter and the extra salt will be too much? If so,why not use salted butter and leave out the Kosher salt?

Bobby Flay
