Or not cook since they are selling prepared food.

I love Sharon. I'd like to see her do some fashion shows.

That seems to have been an unnecessary and personal comment (as well as simply your opinion). He's well-groomed at all times. What more do you expect?

It would be nice if posters could leave out the hurtful, unhelpful, personal attacks. The hosts are human beings, after all. (Do you get judged in whatever work you do for being "not even attractive"?) {#emotions_dlg.thumbdown}

I completely agree with the OP!!! I used to look forward to watching the ""Gourmet Holiday"" shows until they started using these two as hosts for EVERY food show. Can tolerate Dan but can't watch Sharon.

I can't stand those two to do food shows. I understand they have to taste the foods, but they both act like they haven't eaten in months!!

I don't know why either, as there are so many complaints on these boards about them, over and over again. I'd think they might want to rethink the idea.

I think they have done it much like they have 'niched' other hosts (like David V), hoping they would get a cult following (like Jill and her YHJ shows) and that would increase the sales. I'm not sure that has worked, though.

I find the rolling of the eyes and ecstatic looks, over everything they put in their mouths, condensending and maybe a little offensive. Most people realize that the hosts are not going to spit the food out and proclaim it to be the worst thing they have ever tasted. I'm not sure why sampling something that has been cooked in a particular pan, and pretending to swoon, would influence me in purchasing a pan. Just sayin'.....they do act silly!

I understand your point, but exactly how would you have them present food items if you were the producer? They're pretty much doing the same thing as hosts do when they present any item; right? Gushing over a basic tee is no different than displaying such pleasure over a food item.

They both go overboard reacting to tasting food. Who does that in real life? Dan seems like he is starving when he presents food. Talking with their mouths full is a turn off. I think different hosts on the food segments would be welcome.

I noticed yesterday that Leah do not taste the Greek pastry. It sure looked fab.
