Poll of Polls: Who is your favorite Food Network Star?!

[The Sushi Bandit]

All right it's time to take off the gloves and determine the DU choice of best Food Network star!

[Kingofalldems]

1. There is only one star---but he wasn't on Food Network

The late great Justin Wilson---the Cajun Cook.

[The Sushi Bandit]

5. I Garounteee...

I used to watch him on PBS in Biloxi MS back in the early 70's.
He was great!!

[Arugula Latte]

2. I think you should add Ina Garten.

I'm still mulling my options for favorites, but I think I should have a full range of choices, dammit! ;)

[philosophie_en_rose]

3. Alton Brown is my pretend boyfriend.

:)

Smart, cute, and he cooks. What else could any girl want? :blush:

[miss_american_pie]

10. You'll have to share

all that science talk makes me swoon. ;)

[philosophie_en_rose]

12. Does polygamy ever really work?

:P

[miss_american_pie]

13. I just want him for a weekend

I'll return him, almost good as new. :P

[grace0418]

19. Holy Crap! I just posted the other day about my

very naughty dream involving none other than Alton Brown. I didn't know other's shared my lust! Yay for funny, geeky, smart guys who can cook!

[Left Is Write]

28. For second I thought that said "pregnant boyfriend."

nt

[The Sushi Bandit]

39. I liked you blog!

[Left Is Write]

41. Thank you!

[AllegroRondo]

30. My wife says I look like him

its one of the only good things about losing hair.

[Suich]

4. I like Tyler Florence! n/t

[evirus]

6. i would have to say........

the food... yum

[Capn Sunshine]

7. No Bobby Flay?

:shrug:

[JI7]

17. Bobby Flay sucks

[GRLMGC]

18. He sure does

He sure does

[KitchenWitch]

21. His cooking is good, but he needs to go buy a personality.

[The Sushi Bandit]

47. I dont think he is Iron Chef material

.. I liked the Japanese original better

[Xithras]

42. Bobby Flay is da bomb on the grill.

I don't get the attraction that the whole Iron Chef thing holds for people, but Bobby can come grill in my backyard any day. I think I probably have 20 episodes of Boy Meets Grill stored in my DVR, waiting for a rain free weekend to be tried out.

[El Fuego]

8. Tyler Florence!

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

26. You mean Mr. EXTREME CLOSEUP Tyler Florence?

Seriously, it's supposed to be about the food, not his face while he's chopping vegetables. If he loved himself any more, he'd have to get a marriage license.

[DainBramaged]

9. Mr. Microwave, we've been buddies for decades.

[Left Is Write]

11. This one...

Because you said "star" and not "chef," I chose someone who is not a chef but is the star of his own show.

[The Sushi Bandit]

14. Who dat??

[Left Is Write]

15. The perfectly adorable Jim O'Connor.

His show is "The Secret Life Of..."

[The Sushi Bandit]

20. Oh yea, he is FUN to watch..

but I have never seen him cook!

[AllegroRondo]

31. MUCH better than Marc Summers

and his show "Unwrapped"

[Carni]

33. I HATE that friggin show!

Why do they INSIST on putting that damned unwrapped on for what seems like hours every weekend! ARRRRRGGGHHHH!

[tishaLA]

16. I love Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa)

but I voted for Giada because I hate to think of her losing to the insufferable RayRay.

[fizzgig]

22. jamie oliver

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:



he's so excited about the food and i bet he'd make a great dessert ;-)

[The Sushi Bandit]

38. I never once saw him get naked!

but he does live in england

[njdemocrat106]

23. I'm one of the scant few who likes Emeril

:hide:

[The Sushi Bandit]

24. Emeril is great!

I love watching him when its just him and not a studio audience.

[Left Is Write]

27. I like Emeril...

I just think the "Bam!" schtick is too old now, and if he says "begin to start" one more time, I might throw my KitchenAid at him. :D

[grace0418]

32. He has some expressions that look like El Residente which automatically

makes me dislike him. Actually, if you knew my former boss you would swear that Bush$Co and my boss had somehow melded to create Emeril. *shudder*

The other thing I don't like about him (or should I say his show) is the way his audience worships him like he's some kind of god. They freak out if he sautes garlic in butter like it's some amazing innovation.

[Carni]

34. Emeril's show doesn't thrill me BUT

His cookbooks are good and when I ate at his restaurant in las Vegas I could not find a thing to complain about!

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

25. All those voting for Rachel Ray - Please report for sterilization!

You must NOT be allowed to reproduce. Good lord, there is no medical term for the incredible things wrong with your minds!!! :cry:

[AmericanErrorist]

29. The great Takeshi Kaga

...of course.

"Allez-Cuisine!"

[LSK]

35. Giada

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[NewWaveChick1981]

40. She's as yummy as the food she makes!

;)

[FredScuttle]

44. Check this out from TVGasm

It's a Giada Disaster!

the freaking funnniest thing I've ever read....today.

[The Sushi Bandit]

45. Total babe!

[trof]

36. Sara Lee? Betty Crocker? Aunt Jemima? Uncle Ben? Chef Boyardee?

What about them?
;-)

[The Sushi Bandit]

37. They are all made up!!!

not real

[FredScuttle]

43. The one and only Paula Deen

She truly makes "food to die for" (or from). Hot dogs slathered with real lard? Mmmmmm-mmmm.

[pinniped]

46. I like watching RR because she visits different joints....

on her $40/day program.

Emeril's cool but he's always stuck in the studio.
