When first moving here to the boonies six years ago there was no
foodtv but two years ago the local cable began carrying it. I tried
watching a few times but got disgusted, there isn't one show with any
redeeming value whatsoever. At least previously even if there wasn't
much to learn the shows were entertaining, now they're all know
nothing megalomaniacs... I haven't tuned in for over a year.

Exactly what do you mean by "teabag party" there, blake? I can think of two
VERY different meanings, though I wouldn't want to watch a video of either
one.

The subject was 9/12 (Glenn Beck's paranoid opus) and those who have Tea
Bag parties to protest something or other. Apparently the gormless have a
network strictly for the gormless in the US and the two "movements" have
found each other.

the teabag partiers (tax and President Negro protesters) chose the teabag

Best thing Food Network could do to improve their programming would be
to start rebroadcasting every PBS cooking show ever produced.

A sampling of which is:

The French Chef
Julia Child & Company
Dinner at Julia's
Cooking with Master Chefs
In Julia's Kitchen with Master Chefs
Baking With Julia
Julia Child & Jacques Pépin Cooking at Home
The Complete Pépin
Cooking Mexican
MEXICO – One Plate at a Time
Lidia's Italian-American Kitchen
Lidia's Family Table
Lidia's Italy
Chef Paul Prudhomme's Fiery Foods
The Frugal Gourmet
Great Chefs
Lousiana Cookin'

Then throw in all their old Mario Batali cooking shows and Alton Brown's
Good Eats.

Which would cause their ratings to drop, leading to the programmers
being fired and new ones hired in their place. Then those programs
would be canceled and a return made to the type they had before.

Seriously. Do you think they avoid stand-up cooking shows just to mess
with you? If they could get the ratings, they'd have nothing else, as
that's about as cheap of programming as there is.

You mean there are people who actually watch the current programming? I
mean other than to admire Rachael's and Giada's fine choice of sweaters.

They do indeed. Ratings for the channel have been steadily increasing,
plus they've been pulling in younger (and more desirable) demographics.

While I think Rick Bayless is an amazing chef, I'm not crazy about his TV
shows. I've been watching them for the last month or so, and nothing he did
has grabbed me.

Also, I just can't seem to warm up to Lidia Bastianich. Same thing as
Bayless; she's a fantastic chef, but in all her shows I haven't seen her
make anything I didn't already know how to make. By contrast, I *frequently*
learn new things from watching Mario Batali, though sometimes he says things
with which I take issue. (Such as, "The ancient Romans didn't have pasta;
they didn't have fields of wheat. Instead they had polenta made from acres
and acres of corn.")

Some PBS shows you *didn't* mention that I like are the two from Christopher
Kimball, "America's Test Kitchen" and "Cook's Country." It's not Kimball
himself that I like, it's the methodical approach in attempting to perfect
the dish being examined. I also like their product comparisons, and I've
saved lots of money over the years by being warned away from products I
might otherwise have bought.

I have a very difficult time understanding Jacques Pépin's accent, so
although he might be imparting the wisdom of the ages, it's mostly lost on
me. But for some reason I *can* understand Hubert Keller, and his "Secrets
of a Chef" is another PBS show I like. Lin made his recipe for
vertically-roasted chicken about a month ago, and it was wonderful. Speaking
of "Secrets," I like the Food Network show with Anne Burrell, "Secrets of a
Restaurant Chef." In spite of her lapses into what I call a "Cookie Monster"
voice, and in spite of her tendency to oversalt and undercook vegetables,
I've learned some very good recipes from her.

I think Fox News pretty much became a laughingstock after winning its "free
speech" lawsuit:

Appellate Court Rules Media Can Legally Lie.
By Mike Gaddy. Published Feb. 28, 2003
On February 14, a Florida Appeals court ruled there is absolutely nothing
illegal about lying, concealing or distorting information by a major press
organization. The court reversed the $425,000 jury verdict in favor of
journalist Jane Akre who charged she was pressured by Fox Television
management and lawyers to air what she knew and documented to be false
information. The ruling basically declares it is technically not against any
law, rule, or regulation to deliberately lie or distort the news on a
television broadcast.

On August 18, 2000, a six-person jury was unanimous in its conclusion that
Akre was indeed fired for threatening to report the station's pressure to
broadcast what jurors decided was "a false, distorted, or slanted" story
about the widespread use of growth hormone in dairy cows.

The court did not dispute the heart of Akre's claim, that Fox pressured her
to broadcast a false story to protect the broadcaster from having to defend
the truth in court, as well as suffer the ire of irate advertisers. Fox
argued from the first, and failed on three separate occasions, in front of
three different judges, to have the case tossed out on the grounds there is
no hard, fast, and written rule against deliberate distortion of the news.

The attorneys for Fox, owned by media baron Rupert Murdoch, argued the First
Amendment gives broadcasters the right to lie or deliberately distort news
reports on the public airwaves.

In its six-page written decision, the Court of Appeals held that the Federal
Communications Commission position against news distortion is only a
"policy," not a promulgated law, rule, or regulation. Fox aired a report
after the ruling saying it was "totally vindicated" by the verdict.

Ming Sai, don't recall if he was Food TV in his early days, inspired me to
buy a ceramic knife that I'll always be grateful to him for. No other TV cook
or chef ever inspired me to buy a product while not actually selling one.
Best knife I've ever had.

He was also a cool character, imho!

Another good reason not to watch tv news. Not only are they not
accountable for presenting bad information due to negligence, now we are
being told that they can present bad information even when they *know*
it is a lie.

Not talking about the US. Only Florida and Fox, which were mentioned
specifically. Fox isn't a "where" it is a "who/what". Fox being let

I need to wander over to Findlaw.com to see what a state court is
doing hearing a federal constitutional question.

OB: The cafeteria at LA Superior Court has to have the most gawdawful
food in town. If they tried to serve that cr*p in prison, there'd be
inmate lawsuits raining down on the prison system. Pity the jurors -
there's only one restaurant within easy reach and it's $$$.

Can they order out from anywhere nearby? Maybe someone should make

Here in San Francisco, it all depends on which courthouse you're
assigned to. If you're in Civic Center, you're fine. If you're on
Bryant (same building as the jail) there're a McDonald's on the
corner, other than that you're SOL.

*Pish* you just get your driver to run you over to the Carnelian room
before it closes

I swear, i almost called somebody a patented sheldonianism, i almost
called them a "LIAR!" when they told me the name of the big stone
abstract sculpture at the Bank of America building was titled "The
Banker's Heart" .... then as i was taking some guests to the Carnelian
room i looked ...... imagine my surprise! A Heart of Stone! "The
Banker's Heart."


Course i had to go to the University campus in Berkeley on several
occasions just cause i had convinced my self my memory of the memorial
to the 1960's "Free Speech Movement" was a hole in the ground with hot
air coming out of it. Very clear and vidivd memory of looking at it but
my rational mind insisted on considering that some sort of grievous and
exiguous 'false memory' it just couldn't be!

Course then i went and checked so many times i now have to sadly live
with the fact of the Berkeley memorial to the Free Speech Movement is a
hole in the ground with hot air coming out of it.

Although, due to "budget" considerations its just a hole in the ground
and successfully plugged so that nothing, not even hot air is any
longer coming out of it. Really more like a stagnant pool of rain water
or a refuse receptacle. Nothing metaphorical about that as the Artist
plainly states in their description of the object and its "air space"
above it.

I think Senator Joe Wilson might have acquired the rights to that particular
epithet.

JFK only said "Ich bin ein Berliner" once, too, and I'm certain that
countless people said it before and after he did, but that doesn't make the
phrase any less "his."
