Food is an important part of a balanced diet.

Well, if anyone has the worst chefs in America, it's The Food Network.

So how is this show different than 90% of the other shows they made?

It's not "worst *chefs* in America", it's "worst *cooks* in America".
It's a good show.

Call me crazy but I still maintain cooking shows should be about cooking.
Cooking that is, food that people want to eat. Watching a bunch of boobs
throw perfectly good ingredients around and turn them into something the dog
wouldn't eat is just dumb. And wasteful.

This isn't PBS, it's entertainment.

I just plugged my cable TV back in and starting flipping, and lo and
behold...

I watched it fro about 10 minutes. Why would somebody want to watch a
show about people failing at cooking?

Easy, sqwish. You'll blow another gasket.

First thing that comes to mind: Watching incompetent yutzes on TV is a
realization of listening to your prattle on Usenet.

Any more questions, please submit via email to Food Network.

Why do people watch the Sunday morning shows with politicians talking, when
they so clearly have failed. Why do people look at a train wreck? Hard to
figger.

Here's what I wonder... How could they be sure they actually have bad
cooks? Couldn't someone fake being a bad cook?

There is an opportunity for learning in this show. Ann Burrell and
Bobby Flay show the novice cooks how to prepare an item. The novice
cooks try to duplicate the dish and also do a riff on it. For other
viewers who may be as challenged in the kitchen, watching others make
mistakes and learning from them will be helpful and maybe empowering.

Not everyone is like you, born with flawless taste, cooking
technique, plating and style.

Give some other folks a break. Television shows can't be designed
just for you. There are plenty of people out there that literally
know nothing about food and food preparation. They may gain courage
from a show like this and try something on their own.

I guess you have a point there. Except that the politicians still
think they're best thing since sliced bread. OTOH, The FoodTV
contestants KNOW and fully admit they suck.

It's not really something that keeps my attention though. I did have it on
tonight but I sure wasn't riveted to it.

It just reinforces the concept in my mind that FN is another "comedy"
channel. The pratfall is the oldest joke in the world.

It's a good show if you like it. I hate it.

It's "worst cooks," not "worst chefs."
