    I love Bourdain's assessment of what's going on with food network. it was earlier in the year, but so very true.

    Did you read the piece in the NYTimes magazine?

    I watch the food network some, but I must say I'm tired of Emril, and especially the ritual interactions with the studio audience. (There is no need to applaud garlic. It cannot hear you.)

    Love Alton. Like Warren. Bored with Duff and the gang. I want to hate Rachel, but honestly, when I am stumped on a weeknight, her magazine is there for me. (Plus, in the magazine, you cannot hear her annoying voice.)

    But what I most love: Iron Chef, but only the last few minutes, and only when my hero Jeffery Steingarten is judging. Now there is a man who deserves his own show. Daily.

    If you are interested in this sort of thing, The Splendid Table on NPR (we hear it Saturday afternoons, it's also podcast) rules.
