The Frugal Gourmet...Jeff what's his name.... His show began to die after he was found having sex with some of the young guys working on the set At least Emeril can do more than put together pre-mixed ingredients out of a box, as Sandra Lee does. So could Justin "I ga-ron-tee!" Wilson!
My late grandpa and I used to watch Mr. Wilson and we'd get quite a kick of him taking a nip everytime he would add wine to a recipe.
I remember "The Frugal Gourmet." I never liked him before that news came out, anyway. To be a good cook and remain telegenic even after imbibing takes some real talent.
Sandra Lee's 'talent' seems to consist of the fact that she is easy on the eyes, is jubtabulous, and likes to drink on camera.
Give me Nigella Lawson any day. What a woman...and a chef!
Count me as one of many who can’t understand how she managed to get two shows. I understand the semi-homeade concept, but it isn’t a level of cooking that needs a show.
I found Avec Eric on Hulu this week and that is one of the best food preparation shows I think I have seen. Eric Ripert (Top Chef, LeBernadin) goes out where the food is grown or wine is produced and you get a mini lesson in agriculture, then he ties it to a featurette in his restaurant, and a recipe for the home chef. And LOTS of wine. I have actually made food from this show and am considering buying the DVD’s.
That show isn’t on any cable network and that’s sad because it’s really good.

Her show...Saw it once or twice. It’s soft porn the way she carries on. Justin Wilson was a great TV personality. I garr-on-teee. I kind of forgot that he used to take a nip of whatever wine he was pouring into the gumbo pot.
I used to watch Emeril’s show regularly. He never seemed like a heavy drinker to me. And he could make great food. We often got his recipes from the Food Channel website.
