What a sucky weekend. My stocks tanked on Friday, my favorite DC radio station, Smooth Jazz, was canceled, and my 3rd favorite (after Emeril and Alton) Food Network guy is a fraud.

It’s a little silly, though. Is he a good chef, or not? I would argue that, while the Food Network is free to do what it wants, it’s not like he was in a position of public or fiduciary trust.

Not to worry. They still have a real chef.

This follows on the heels of another “padded resume” during their show on celebrity chefs. They had this bad-tempered (but kind of fun to watch) punk claim to have this big military record which he turned out not to have.

I meant the contest to become a celebrity chef.

The Food Network would truly “jump the shark” if Good Eats and everything else that Alton Brown does on that channel eventually does come to an end. Good Eats is a decent show, IMHO.

It’s certainly a judgement call: I may lie to you that I can hit .350 in the big leagues, but what happens when I get to the big leagues and hit .350?

I like Good Eats, though sometimes he makes a lot more work than he needs to in food prep.
Hands-down winner, of course, is Rachel Ray, who has translated practical meal-making into a near billion-dollar empire that is starting to rival Martha's.

Maybe they don’t like liars. Keep in mind that the network broadcasted his claims, and find themselves embarrassed about it. I just mentioned Rachel Ray—she never claims to be a chef at all, just a practical and impatient cook—and she’s hit the big time.

The Food Network has a reputation (goodwill) to be concerned about, yes. And if this guy is a talented chef, he’ll land on his feet anyway . . . despite being a liar.

I certainly prefer Nigella to Everyday Tit-talian.
The way the camera crawls down Giada's cleavage gets to be yucky to women viewers--park it on a porn site and get back to the food.
It'd be so much fun to see Saturday Night Live spoof Giada. Just do a full picture of the Rack, no face or food, just the Wonder Bra...with her voice in the background with her pretentious pronuncuation...pahn...chettt--ttta

So what are the inaccuracies exactly? He didn’t cook for the English Monarch? He never used White House Kitchen? He didn’t graduate from Leeds?

OK, he padded his resume but it wasn’t like he was running for Congress. It was a TV show, fer cryin out loud. A cooking show. Is there no perspective any more?

The network runs contests whose entertainment value is part of the "reality"--if he's Chef Impossible, why would he need to lie about his resume?
The US government didn't require his firing--it's not like the ridiculous congressional hearings over baseball and steroids.

The way the camera crawls down Giada's cleavage... They do that? Really? I've watched her a hundred times and never noticed.
Of course I once clicked the channel and it took me 30 seconds to realize the attractive, buxom woman was giving the weather forecast. It took me another minute to realize she was speaking Spanish. I'm not making that up.

They show Nigela’s bust to distract from the size of he butt.
