as well. One great line was that the Food Network is currently about Food the same way MTV is currently about Music. His big problem is that the channel doesn’t really have a lot of great chefs cooking any more, which is...

thought she had been hitting the champagne quite early, and how. Sigh. I miss the original FoodTV. Alas, it seems to be going the way of MTV.

' ambition. He sells trendy, instant gratification of the MTV, Bold-Name, see-and-be-seen type. He’s a marketing genius. He doesn’t have a single fine dining establishment. I wonder if he can.
