They could be alienating potential viewers by not including more of that. And everyone is entitled to have more than one channel to turn to for information about food and recipies.

Think it was Ropas Vejas. It was definitely the "same" shredded steak dish. Daisy's looked like dark mud, honestly.

If there's sufficient demand out there for a vegetarian show, one will fill the void.

If you don't want to eat meat, dairy, eggs in your diet, fine. But I'm sick of that specific subgenre of vegetarians who think they have some messianic vision to save the rest of humanity now that they've seen the "light" of vegetarian cooking.<BR/><BR/>That being said, love the Nealys' show alot (the banter between Gina and her husband is great, and their innuendo makes me laugh, while their food makes me salivate) and DB's recipes look really good as well. As for DB himself, he is just pure eyecandy and I could handle him reading for 30 mins from an encyclopedia. <BR/><BR/>I'll give Sunny's show a look when it comes out, it looks quite promising.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368617.post-42333822343503354832008-03-19T11:30:00.000-04:002008-03-19T11:30:00.000-04:00Good By Indrid, Sandra, and Rachael.Good By Indrid, Sandra, and Rachael.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368617.post-8060470395438325372008-03-19T11:29:00.000-04:002008-03-19T11:29:00.000-04:00I am not a vegetarian, but would love some differe...I am not a vegetarian, but would love some different options besides meat, veg and potatoe. I'm not creative with my side dishes and ways to use local and fresh produce would be a wonderful. Ellie Kreiger needs to be used more on the network. I would imagine some of her cooking is vegetarian friendly. Rachael, Sandra Lee and Paula are cooking very unhealthy foods, and I think the network needs try and be more proactive with healtier cooking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368617.post-51092610768951153332008-03-19T10:48:00.000-04:002008-03-19T10:48:00.000-04:00I agree with Lauren!

FN needs to GET REAL and have at least one vegetarian show.

I admit to not being a great fan of FN's shows of late (sorry, Danny B, that includes yours too.) I agree w/Anonymous ^^^^ I, too, am Latina (Colombian, in fact!) & cannot stand Ingrid's showy, overly emoted, gimmicky delivery --I commend the network's eagerness to diversify & by all means, carry on, but I much prefer to have a host who can deliver recipes in an intelligent, friendly way. Ina remains my fave. I like Giada for the most part, everyone else: take notes! You don't want to know what I thnk abt RR--same as was what her detractors think. But that's got no'in to do w/ your article--looking forward to checking out Sunny's show.terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02608470521267982757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368617.post-36161247608493312922008-03-18T19:15:00.000-04:002008-03-18T19:15:00.000-04:00Real changes should include dumping Sandra Lee and...Real changes should include dumping Sandra Lee and Rachael Ray into a firey pit, and spending more time looking into "indie" cooks who thrive on YouTube.

However, I'd much rather see a quality show/host, no matter what race they are. In all honesty, Ingrid Hoffmann annoys me to no end. In one of her recent episodes, she totally hogged the time from her guest celebrity, though you could tell he was trying to talk about his new role/project. He finally just gave up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
