All of the original Iron Chefs (Japan) are great too.....I also like alot of the non chef people too. Ina/Guy --he's awesome I love Triple D....his big bite show is great too. I love to watch Paula Deen too.....its funny cause on the radio here (in Michigan) this one guy impersonates Paula with her voice....its so funny...talking about all those sticks of butter....I used to like Rachel Ray but mostly the $40.00 a day show...the 30 minutes meal thing is old too me....I like Nigella Lawson too its a shame her show is gone.....I loved Jamie Oliver when he was on it too....but they change alot of shows around more now than they used too (same with HGTV)....I do miss some of the older shows.....I still recall Food Network when it started....its really changed alot .....I'm sure I forgot somebody......good thread!! Ps: forgot that I also love Adam Richmond on Man v Food too....hope its back soon!!

I hope Spago is still there.

He seems like such a d*ck.

Totally. Chefs with an attitude like that make me not want to visit their restaurant. That's too bad because his place in Napa looks like it would be great. Next time I get to Vegas, I think I want to visit Hubert Keller's place. His attitude is a complete 360 from Chiarello's and his food looks amazing. There are a ton of high profile chefs doing the Vegas thing now.

Rachel Ray and Paula Deen for sure, even if they are just cooks. Their shows are very entertaining to watch.

Nobody likable exists on the food network.
