I say Emeril, hands down!
OMG. I about blew breakfast out my nose.Hopz said:Emeril would win, but Alton would know what he was doing....
Sheesh dude....I'm just playing around.BlueCat said:If you're talking about a fist fight, why would anyone care? It's like apples and oranges. I imagine Emeril is several years older and he's obviously a weight class or two heavier. And since neither is a fighter, it wouldn't be of much interest to me. I like to watch fighters fight, and chefs cook.
I do like to ponder the cookoff aspect. While I like Alton Brown for his scientific approach to cooking, there's no question that Emeril is a better chef. There's room for both on the Food Network, since I think Brown explains the basics very well, and Emeril is an artist with his pairing of flavor and form.

BigDog said:Not at all. He's kinda starting to grow on me. That said, he's an encyclopedia, not a chef. Well, I guess one could argue he's a chef and it could be proven, but not at all at the caliber of Emeril, or many others from ICA and the other FN shows.
His knowledge and ability to be an encyclopedia makes him a perfect host for ICA. He can figure out what is going on and clearly explain it far before I can. I really like his "time outs" during the battle to explain the origin of whatever the secret ingredient is, or chart what cuts of meat come what what parts of the pig, cow, or whatever that is the secret ingredient.
