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 …read more

Are you following this season’s Next Food Network Star? I never seem to catch it on Sunday lately, but I usually catch up later in the week when they re-run the episode.
Most of them seemed to struggle this week with the hot peppers. Teddy went home this week, and I have to say that didn’t disappoint me too much after his behavior the week before. I think the judges had just had enough of him. He didn’t do bad in this challenge, so I think it was his overall performance that knocked him out of the competition.

I’m getting all excited about the next season of The Next Food Network Star. Especially with the oh-so-cool promo being shown lately.
Season 5 doesn’t actually start until June 7th but promos are now out. It’s quite funny actually. Here comes chef Bobby Flay looking all dapper in his suit, as he walks down the hallway, wannabe Food Network Stars try to win Bobby’s Flay’s vote with their smiles and placards.
Then as Bobby enters the elevator, with the other 2 judges waiting inside, he says “We’ll be the judge of that”. Ooohhh, how clever .

I am a self-described foodie and Food Network junkie. I have special affection toward chefs Bobby Flay and Mario Batali.
Recently, I’ve been following Ina Garten, pretty closely. The other night I made her “Perfect Chicken” recipie…and let me tell you…utter heaven. I am not really a big fan of chicken, especially, the wretched boneless, skinless variety. But this recipe calls for a whole chicken, glorious skin still on.
Make this dish for Sunday supper and take leftovers to work with you on Monday, you will wish you made two birds:

1 (5 to 6 pound) roasting chicken
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 …read more
