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.

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.

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?

I always thought that guy was a phony. Still he was not nearly as obnoxious as Bobby Flay.

It’s all been downhill on the Food Network since Two Fat Ladies ended, anyway.

Well at least now, he'll have something to legitimately pad his resume with - he was host of a popular Food Network show.

Anyway, if you are going to make up stuff, why make up something faggy like you helped design a wedding cake for some British welfare queen? I would have said that I prepared porterhouse steaks for Ronald Reagan's White House or something more manly like that.

he's not a fraud...the show is about challenges and he suceeds in a funny but efficient way....he is what he is...

so his resume was not true.....the show is true...his cooking style, is attitude, his capability....all true....

My favorite chef is an ex heroin user who likes punk rock and is married to a girl half his age.

Travel Channel renewed his contract no problem.
