The Food Network and Mexican Food

I love the Food Network. My favorite chefs are Bobby Flay, Guy Fieri, and Jamie Oliver.  Hot guys who cook. What could be better than that?

I watched the Food Network show, Grill It! with Bobby Flay today. The show works like this: Bobby has a guest on the show who prepares one of their specialities on the grill. Bobby prepares a seperate dish with the same main ingredient.

For example, today Alex, from California came on to prepare his Mexican Shrimp Enchiladas. When they introduced him, he was grilling Carne Asada Tacos in his backyard, using a green salsa.

That’s the sort of food that I want to see on the Food Network all the time. I’m a native Californian and we love our Mexican food. Personally, I cook Mexican food at least 3 times a week, but I’d like to branch out and try some new dishes. I wish they’d have an authentic Mexican cooking show on the Food Network. When they do have Mexican, it’s just a random dish somewhere or it has a sort of Cuban flair. I want the kind of food you eat while listening to mariachi music.

If you are interested in the recipes that Bobby Flay and Alex made, you can find them here. Bobby prepared his shrimp in an Asian style. Alex made Shrimp Enchiladas and Grilled Bananas.
