Quoted message said:Doesn't anybody else see what I see? FoodTV has degenerated into a
personality-fest, pablum for the nitwits, and has almost totally
abandoned the idea of teaching serious cooking to the viewers. There is
a great preference for some inane, perky-titted numbskull over any
serious chef.
People say that all the time. That's been commented on many
times.
Quoted message said:Where is Mario Batali? Annoying as he was, he knew his ingredients and
knew how to cook, and one could learn from him. Where is Pepin? He knows
more about cooking than 1000 Rays and Emerils and Giadas and Countesses
and Flays all put together.
I don't know. It's their stated goal, it's not just cooking. Mario seems
to be on the Iron Chef show, and after watching his Chefography, I have
no idea how he finds time to do that.
Quoted message said:FoodTV panders to the lowest level of the audience, and I bet they are
very successful. As H.L. Mwncken said, you'll never go broke
underestimating the taste of the American public.
Americans love to quote that. Usually they mean some American
public that doesn't include themselves, I guess.
