Yep, Bourdain's No Reservations tops my list of favorites.
Why is it that shows on food and cooking, reality or otherwise, kick the ass of just about everything else on TV? What do you expect with crap like America's Got Talent? Yeah, maybe it does, but not much of it's getting on that show!
Next Monday, an awesome concept: Bourdain and the bizarre food guy, Zimmern (sp?) each take the other through their favorite offbeat NYC restaurants during their back-to-back shows.
Also in the top, Gourmet Magazine's Diary of a Foodie. Excellent and totally informative. I'll watch it as many times as it's on.
Love Hell's Kitchen, though I wouldn't subject myself to Gordon Ramsey's tirades for all of his money! There would be a bloody, fuckin' 10" chef's knife sticking out of his fuckin' chest about the middle of the second fuckin' episode I was on. Wonder if that'd disqualify me? His Kitchen Nightmares (restaurants in need of help) is a much better show, personally. You can learn a ton from that show, including the fact that Ramsay really has a big heart. Matches his outrageously oversized cojones.
Top Chef is good, but Iron Chef is better.
Used to like that young Englishman with the slight lisp. Can't remember his name, but liked how he cooked. Can't find the show anymore.
Chef babes? Giada. Need I say another name? No....
Who else???
