I tell you watching Shawn tonight eating the Grandma's Cinnamon Walnut Coffee Cakes M52023, I had to order one for my family!! I just love a lady that can actually eat the food without worrying about calories!! It was so refreshing and I can't tell you the joy it gave me seeing her enjoyed it too!! Good for you Shawn and we shall enjoy it too!!!

Love her!! xxx

Finally, someone who loves and appreciates Shawn.  Because she eats.  Who knew that's all it took.  I didn't know she even did eating shows.

Personally, I don't like watching any of the hosts eating.  You know they are all going to say it's delicious and make all those corny expressions like it's the best thing they ever ate.

It's not just SK, Sharon Faetsch eats plenty on the food shows. Other hosts do the same.

I don't know how anyone would successfully sell food without tasting it and trying to convey how delicious it is.  Otherwise, who would buy any of it? Food, especially over the TV, has to show its emotionally satisfying benefits.  Merely presenting the ingredients, quantity and price would not sell food (unless it's diet food which we all know does not have the primary purpose to actually taste good -  LOL) 

I do think some do a better job of it than others, for my palate.  As another poster mentioned, Sharon Faetsch goes into [too] long Shakespearean monologues.  I cannot watch her food shows.  But besides David, she's their most frequent food presenter.  Obviously her style of presenting food appeals to many others.

I think it's part of the job during a food show.

Have you ever seen a host say, "Ew, no thanks"?

Or, "Oh, no, I'm watching my weight"?

(P.S.  Is there something wrong with someone NOT eating a big piece of cake?  If you're not on TV selling it, that is)

 Colleen Lopez used to host a lot of the Wolfgang Puck shows and she used to taste just about everything he had, sometimes she would nearly eat a meal during his shows.

You could tell when she started to lose weight because all of a sudden during his shows, she would take one tiny bite of something he cooked but nothing more. 

I have no doubt these hosts all know what that stuff tastes like before going on air. It's all an act if they claim they've not tried something before. There are no surprises.  No one in their right mind is going to try something live on air for the first time.
