Hey, you're a foodie. Have you noticed the Food Channel doesn't have very many chefs anymore? Nobody is cooking. They have the diner and dives show, the cake show and those stupid yell at everyone challenges. Not much cooking.

Fair criticism. But I told him to check out Good Eats, with Alton Brown. It's probably my new favorite show on the Food Network right now. He's not nearly as cute or as funny as he thinks he is, but the show is very informative. He delves into the history behind various dishes, where exactly certain cuts of meat come from, and explains in plain English how to prepare different types of food. He shows the best way to cook even simple things that you thought you'd mastered. I've learned a lot from watching the program and I can tell you from personal experience that his pot roast is to die for! So tune in and tell me what you think.
