As cruel as it was, I really think Saturday Night Live had it right when they dubbed the Food Network “porn for fat people.” I know this from personal experience. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been watching something on the Food Network, or a cooking show on another channel, and I had […]
(Season 3, Episode 6 – “Christmas Special”) Another great episode free of disappointing big-name guest stars.

While I still miss some of the chefs who have disappeared or been pushed out of the prime viewing time (Nigella Lawson, Michael Chiarello, Jamie Oliver, et al), the new […]
