I love getting recipes online and one of my favorites in the Food Network, but I hesitate using it because it takes so long to download. And just to turn a page it can take up to one minute. The main reason I like that site is...

So, I admit, don’t throw me off the boards, but I applied for season 5. Did anyone else? Has anyone heard back from them? They kept pushing back the application deadline – first it was Oct. 31, then Nov. 15, then Dec...

Today I received a copy of the new Food Network Magazine November/December issue (1st issue ever) and wanted to share my thoughts and see what everyone else thinks of it. There are 128 recipes in this magazine. I really like the...

Aida Mollenkamp – http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_ai/article/0,3201,FOOD_31376_5862720,00.html Oh the irony! One of CHOW’s editors getting a Food Network show. Chowhound has not been kind to Food Network's...

Agreed, chowhound readers are hardcore food people. But from the judges perspective it’s not something new to them. I think you can find bacon in mac and cheese in any part of the country. It’s not a big issue I just...

Supposingly the Food Network profiled four restaurants in Portland Maine this week, and they are: BAR LOLA BECKY’S DINER CINQUE TERRE FORE STREET The article goes on to say that "Portland is one of five vying for the Food...

They did the first Food Network awards last year and it was so incredibly bad that it was actually entertaining in a train wreck sort of way. Does anyone know if they are going to have a 2008 version? Or was the first time round...

It looks like the Food Network is starting to get actual chefs back on TV. I was happy to see Anne Burrell have a new show but I saw a commercial recently advertising a new show with Alexandra Guarnachelli. I enjoy watching her...

http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/breaking_news/bam_emeril_leaves_food_network_71613.asp Hard to imagine the network without Bam! Honestly, I’m not a fan of Emeril Live, but with the direction the network is heading in,...

Has anyone seen the Food Network Good Food for a Good Cause 2006 Calendar? I’m wondering what the inside photos are like. Are the images of food, chefs, or ?

I was watching the reruns today and noticed that when the contestents were brought into Emeril’s studio, they were told that the winner would film his or her show there. Watching it now gives new meaning to the word there,...

I thought this was interesting article. I didn’t know that TNFNS is the Network's top-rated show. http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/recent_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003791508

restaurants. Remember Food Network only! Best chef – I know this won’t be popular, but Bobby Flay Most overrated chef – Emeril. His recipes are weak, and his act is very dull now. Most charismatic – Robert...

I just can’t get enough of Lisa Garza. I love it when a local girl makes good. Check out her blog posts on D Magazine’s food blog SideDish. She doesn’t drop any clues for the following week, but is candid about...
