Animal Planet. I mean like every show on the channel.

Yum.

1. Everyday Italian, with Giada DiLaurentis.

2. Iron Chef Japan.

3. I did like watching the reality show The Next Food Network Star.

Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations.
I like it because it's not just a food show or just a travel show.

He goes to places I will visit or have visited as well as ones I doubt I'll ever see; enlightening with culture AND cuisine. Plus I love his witty narratives. He's not your typical celebrity chef; I've actually been meaning to pick up some of his books.

Take home chef, dudes a pimp!

He's pretty easy on the eyes too.

I really like Good Eats and Everyday Italian. Essence of Emeril is also good--he's so funny and serious on that show sometimes it makes me giggle.

Kitchen Nightmares is a great show. It's the only reason that I really wish I had BBC America. I'm excited to see what the American version will be like, but I'm not too enthused (it is Fox after all).

I also like Good Eats pretty well.

In the food & travel category, I'm a big fan of both No Reservations (and Bourdain's old show(s?) as well) and Feasting on Asphalt.

That's most of what I really like, there are many others that I watch from time to time though.

I love good eats and I've heard good things about No Reservations. I also like 30 minute meals, Iron Chef and Take Home Chef which was only on for a minute.

iron chef japan
any show with bourdain
good eats

i hate emerill with a passion

Kitchen Nightmares the UK version and Hells Kitchen the US version. They also show Jamie Oliver here but I never liked him, no idea why(Although I like how he promotes healthy food in the schools). While For Ramsay in Kitchen Nightmares I like to see how he helps reorganize a restaurant. And Hells Kitchen is just very entertaining to watch, they just started showing the third season here in the Netherlands.

My two favorites are Nigella Bites and Barefoot Contessa. I like them both because they aren't traditional chefs (though I love those as well) so I think a lot of their food is elegant while still remaining down to earth, and is practical to make at home. And since Ina got her start as a caterer, most of her recipes are tried and true, especially the baked coodies.

I like Take Home Chef, also.

I love Top Chef on Bravo. It's one of the few cooking shows that I make sure to watch every week.

I also like Everyday Italian and Emeril.

Hehehe, Take Home Chef is quite nice. How could I forget? Once in a while, I like to see Alton Brown talk about the science and history of food. Though, he can get quite annoying for some reason.

I can't wait to see the US version of Kitchen Nightmares this upcoming week (premiere is this Wednesday?), but I am worried b/c FOX is so damn obnoxious.

@beth i love nigella. i used to watch nigella bites religously

I replied to this already but my post vanished :(

5. Tyler's Ultimate

7. Everyday Italian

8. Emeril Live

RR grates on my nerves, but the food is good

I can't stand that woman

Of the weekly stuff --

License to Grill --
I just started catching this. I don't always find everything he makes up to be of my tasting, but I do get engaged in what he's doing.

After Hours --
Not really a cooking show, per se, but a nice flow of education and just food information

Hell's Kitchen --
Again, not for the cooking, but just the hilarity.

Generally, all the kitchen gadget, technology, renovation...shows --
I'm Italian, I love me some kitchens. I'll completely stop what I'm doing to catch one of these shows.

Of the cooking specials --
There was a tv special on a while back that featured these really old school, rough and tumble, hardcore bar-b-quers. Dudes who'll literally wake up at 4 am to start chopping wood and preparing the fire for dinner. (Dinner for their family that is, not a contest of any sort) Preparing a bbq dinner was literally an all day thing for these guys -- anything less was weak sauce.

That show kicked ass. I wish I could recall the name of it. I think it was a documentary type thing on PBS.

Two Fat Ladies is an old favorite of mine also!

Two Fat Ladies is an old favorite of mine also!

Do you know of anywhere you can get it? I'd like to see it again just for kicks.

I like Good Eats....
I like how he explains the science behind the recipe.
Plus the recipes are pretty easy to replicate.

Iron Chef is great! Also love Gordon Ramsey and Hells Kitchen too.

Just about anything on Food Network, but particularly Good Eats, Throwdown With Bobby Flay, and Iron Chef.

And Ultimate Recipe Showdown. I submitted a couple of recipes for the second season, so maybe you'll be seeing me on there in the future.

Anthony Bourdain!!! No Reservations and anything with him in it... he is like the renegade chef-blogger. He doesn't hold back. When I watch him it reminds me of the restaurant world and the relationships that come along with it. He has the food thing going on... but it is more about him then food. It does make a food show seem like an indiana jones or something!!!

As far as my vote for the food portion of the food shows goes... I like the grill / BBQ stuff with Bobby Flay and I also like a lot of Emeril's New Orleans cooking!!!

Bizarre Foods w/ Andrew Zimmern definitely gets my vote. :D I love that show.
