What is your favorite and least favorite cooking/food show ? I love "A Cook's Tour" with Anthony Bourdain where he travels all over the world and eats at off-the-beaten track places- sometimes eating quite scary, 'dangerous' food (as he says). My least favorite is Rachel Ray's "$40 a day". Her voice is grating, her perkiness borders on the obnoxious! What are the shows you look forward to watching?

All the shows I like are on PBS. I haven't gotten into any of the cable, Food Network shows. They all irritate me. Especially that one that goes, Bang or Bamm, all the time. It is like fingernails on a chalkboard!

I like Americas Test Kitchen, anything by Burt Wolfe, and the older Graham Kerr (mini max) shows.

I don't like it when the morning talk shows do cooking segments. What a waste of time, in that there isn't enough time to do it properly or explain what the recipe is. Just a showcase for the hosts tomfoolery.

Emeril is the Bang! Bam! man-very very irritating. And having the studio audience oohing and aahhing over everything he does is even more grating. I used to watch Graham Kerr in the 70's- does he still have a current TV show or are they just the old ones?

Graham Kerr has a new series on PBS. He is no longer the Galloping Gourmet though!!
Since his wife, Treena, had a heart attack, he has been very health counsious in his cooking.

I used to watch his newest show when I lived in Portland. Haven't found it on the schedule up here in Washington yet. Haven't found alot of shows I used to watch in Portland up here in Washington yet.......... so frustrating. The only way to have any say on what PBS airs, is to donate money, and I ain't got any!!!
