Great program - I don't watch food network anymore because they show no informative cooking programs in the evening. When I was at home with my son I watched all day long - and was very inspired which is what I loved about it - Thanks so much

WENT TO SCHOOL IN THE 80'S (AND LATE 70'S WOW) IN NEW ORLEANS AND THERE WAS A CAJUN COOK NAMED JUSTIN WHO USED TO ADD SHERRY TO EVERYTHING AND WAS VERY ENTERTAINING ALSO PAUL PRUDHOMME HAD A GREAT LOCAL SHOW CAN'T HELP BUT THINK THAT EMIRRIL WAS INFLUENCED BY THESE

Don't forget "The Frugal Gourmet" from PBS. I used to love to watch this with my dad when I was a kid.

Don't forget "Good Eats"! It's smart, informative, and funny and Brown is not a big jerk. *BAM*

Thank you Kathleen Collins for mentioning how arrogant the slow food movement can be. They don’t realize how bad they are shooting themselves in the foot with their attitude that we must all get fleeced and shop at places like Whole Foods. Add to that they insist we can and should pay way too much for our fresh produce or else we’re just not eating healthy. Here’s a free tip, get people to shop less in the middle of the supermarket and more at the ends of the supermarket before you completely turn the general public off to your movement. This will go way farther in getting the general public to start eating healthier food then insisting we all have to buy $4 organic tomatoes and $9 dollar for a gallon of whole milk. That’s never going to make the average American run out and by fruits and vegetables.
