Sandra asks…
On DirectTv why did the Fine Living Network get replaced by the Cook channel?
Isnt the Food network enough?
Michelle answers:
I have Verizon and fine living network is gone for me too. The worst part is that the Cooking Channel is the same as Food Network it even has some of the same shows.
Jenny asks…
Why is the Chairman of the Iron Chef competitions often not live?
It appears that more and more the Chairman only shows up via video screen rather than actually appear live on Iron Chef. Why is this? This Food Network show seems to be his major line of work and he can’t bother to show up? It looks really odd to see Alton Brown apologize that the Chairman can’t be there and then to see him begin the contest from a large video screen. He also doesn’t show up for other Food Network competitions, he’s shown flying on a plane on something. What’s going on?
Michelle answers:
It only looks that way because Nick Dacascos (the Chairman) was involved with this past season’s Dancing With The Stars and wasn’t avaliable to appear on ICA /The Next Iron Chef in the flesh so he had to appear in pre-filmed inserts (as DWTS conflicted with ICA’s taping schedule for this season’s shows).
Helen asks…
Is is just me or are you over the different chefs on the?
Food Network? I mean, Paul Dean with her :hey ya’ll every other sentence, Giada deLaurentis with her nonaccent and then saying various cheeses with her Italiano accent….Michael Chiarello with his little tidbits….????? what is UP with all that?
Michelle answers:
OH MY GOSH!!!!! There are pure geniuses answering this question….whew, I don’t feel so alone anymore. Here is my dry heaving take on them: First of all, most of them are WAY too full of themselves, the sexy, music in the background (Mike Chiarelli….gag) Rachal Ray rolling the eyes, and her hand movements, counting with her thumb first, ….Emeril for some reason thinks he looks like Pierce Brosnan….Giada and Sandra Lee need to cover the cleavage…..Paula Dean giggles like a drunkard…..Bobbie Flay is just a pretentious jerk……The HEARTY BOYS???? Puleeeezzzze…should be the Ballerina Boys…their recipes are terrible….oh and the drama of the Iron Chef? Huh? They are so stupid…..Alton Brown even gets on my nerves….I can’t watch it anymore. Thanks for this opportunity to rip em!!!!!!
Steven asks…
What are Parmesan poppers and how do you make them?
I saw Parmesan poppers on the info for the TV show Everyday Italian on the Food Network but I missed that part of the show…So if anyone can tell me how to make them then that’d be really great because I think they sound good. Thanks in advance!
Michelle answers:
Oh, my. Don’t these sound good!
