Re: Ina and Bobby

I like Ina and Bobby- in fact, I would say the shows on FN are more dependent on the show format these days than the personality of the chef in many cases-

For example, I used ot love Alton Brown on "Good Eats" but he showed such a mean streak on the seasons he was on "Next Food Network Star" that now i think the jerky characer he plays on "Cutthroat Kitchen", is so obnoxious I just cant stand to watch..

Damaris, I didnt like at all on NFNS, but have grown to LOVE her show..

Giada...well...

Hi Tam! Same here with Alton Brown. I did like him in the days of his older shows, even the road trip shows. But now I find myself avoiding him. I did try to watch his 'Cutthroat Kitchen' show a couple of times and I just couldn't hang. It was just too ridiculous.

As for Damaris - same here, too! I would not have chosen her in a million years. She was profoundly annoying. But I have to say that when her show started I decided to give it a chance and I'm still watching.

@chickenbutt @Mothertrucker

I have to completely agree about my personal complete turnaround thanks to @ChiliPepper(thank you Chili!).

I was never a huge fan during FN Star of Demaris but Chili mentioned a while ago how much she enjoyed her show and I started to watch . . . egad, what I have been missing! She is a natural on camera and I love her recipes and tips!

Viva la Demaris!

I love Ina Garten! Never did care for Bobby, simply can't watch Guy, that Farm Lady (wow does she go heavy on the booze!), and like others now Alton. I enjoy watching Jacque P. on PBS, the old Julia Child shows, and Lidia B. Oh and I LOVE the PBS series Martha Stewart does!

Trisha Y. is sort of fun to watch, Pioneer Lady ok, and then there's the Kitchen, which I can watch usually but don't love.

Fun to compare notes! Oh, and I'd like Sarah Moulton if she'd ditch the skillet once in awhile. How many shows can you watch of someone standing over a skillet?

Hi Sooner! I'm not a fan of that 'Farm Lady' either. She reminds me of somebody else who I find profoundly unappealing. I feel like that's who she is trying to be/replace.

Not a fan of the Pioneer Lady one either. She seems so fake and that 'Joker' smile just kind of freaks me out. So forced!

I like 'The Kitchen', EXCEPT that Sunny Anderson is so annoying that I will FF through a segment she does. She's still unavoidable because she forces her annoying self into everything but I really like all the others on the show. If she weren't there I would really enjoy the show a LOT more.

If anyone is looking to do something different -and lighter- with Turkey leftovers, the "heartland chopped salad" that Bobby andina made on this episode is out of this world good. I made the salad as a lighter side for Thanksgiving yesterday and just finished the leftover with some Turkey added. It held up remarkably well because it's made with kale and spinach and the dressing was so worth my tracking down the pomegranate molasses. Fwiw.
