Amen.Food Network was once my favorite network, but not anymore. What started out as a channel to learn and get new ideas, has turned into a circus of competition shows and gimmicky "chefs".
Though I have to admit that my one guilty pleasure on FN is watching "Chopped."
And for those who think it's "mean" to express what one likes/dislikes, well... if we the viewers don't speak up, then we deserve to be bombarded with bad programming.
Personally, I'll take Julia Child, Jacques Pepin, Lidia Bastianich, Hubert Keller, or even Christopher Kimball and his "test kitchen" any day of the week over Guy Fieri or the Neelys. I'd love to see those shows on the Food Network.
