I was first tuned into Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on a trip to Portland for my birthday. I

love greasy spoons so we made our way over to the Byways Cafe (yummy yummy). From then I was

hooked, we’ve been on a couple trips so far like Utah and Chicago which was awesome! Plan on

hitting up a few more soon.

1. No opinion, but personally prefer B.
Even a mediocre animation usually beats out the average people show and i don’ know A.
2. Hoping for loathing of C and D followed closely by B. Early Sopranos seemed palatable.

yada yada no opinion on cooking things

7. Now about the beeb, you must admit they’re all pretty great. Grossed out by the house girls (what is that on Kim Woodburns head? I know its supposed to be hair but often resembles an english breakfast sausage).
And Gordon, can’t help but love the guy.
Top Gear? must have

Now about the English food? It’s astonishingly good although much of the cuisine in England can’t really be called english anymore. But it’s ethnic stuff is off the charts.

Moro’s (great cookbook) in Islington is a revelation
Tayyabs in Whitechapel best ever chops (BYOB)

Re: 1.A Johnny Test (no, not Quest, that’s different) is a good show. It seems like it’s almost 1/5 of CN’s programing some of the time, but the characters are funny

1. Uptight House-dad (understandably so)
2. Genius older sisters with a crazy research lab
3. talking dog sidekick
4. Obnoxious rich kid who’s in love with one of #2
5. School yard bully
6. Working Alpha-wolf mom

They use Flay when they want to deplete the hot pepper and mango populations. He’s sort of the middle ground, he’ll usually be beaten by an excellent traditionalist but his innovative (if annoying) approach to food gets him a lot of wins for sheer originality.

Where does Iron Chef Flay fit into that list, I wonder?

if they want to embarrass you into paroxysms of self-loathing, they will try to convince Batali to show up for an episode

Ain’t that the truth, too. OK, this calls for a post of its own.

My little brother has a theory regarding Iron Chef America: if they want you to win handily, they will put you against Simon; if they want you to have a shot, they’ll put you against Cora. If they want you to lose, they will pit you against Morimoto, and if they want to embarrass you into paroxysms of self-loathing, they will try to convince Batali to show up for an episode, where he will finish with enough time left over to make drinks for himself and his assistants and trounce you by ten points in the final scoring.

The Food Nerwork’s gone right in the crapper since they let go of Mario and Emeril and brought in all those reality/competition shows and Guy Fieri. There’s nothing left for me on the Food Network anymore.

Question 8 is one of the few media-related reasons why I’m happy to be in Europe: we get everything late, movies, tv shows, books… but we have access straight from the NFL website to any game we want, live or not. The best part is that starting from the day following a game, we don’t get any ads. True, if I was in the US, I’d have installed a DVR ages ago, but I was only able to get one installed about two months ago here!

Props on listing BBT among your favorite shows, but poop on your for talking down about the TV series of dead untill dark. Even though I do agree that there was to much sex in the first season that made me think I was watching softcore cable porn I still enjoyed it. I have her newest book sitting right next to me at school that my brother got me for christmas. =(
