Tyler Florence took time out of his busy hair-gelling schedule to appear on The Today Show this morning. Our favorite part? When the host had to remind him to add salt to his pickling brine (you know, the main ingredient). Oops.

THIS WEEK: Ina Garten's "beginner" recipes, new Food Network shows starting in September, thumbing through an issue of Semi-Homemade magazine, Rachael Ray's daytime talk show, Aarti's "accountability group", Claire Robinson on Big Daddy's House, another sensual reading of Alex Guarnaschelli's tweets, sink or swim voicemail, and much more.
Yelch! Ty-flo is not aging well. He gained so much weight that his eyes are all squinty. Maybe he should eat some of Alton Brown’s sardines.
The guy is a putz. Get off my TV and go create another line of signature dishes for Applebees, Tyler.
LMAO. I saw that episode. It was really awkward when he forgot to add the salt. The host did a good job gently reminding him. Tyler’s slipping in his old age.
I had to unfollow this jerkoff on Twitter. Like I want my twitter home page cluttered with his self indulgent BS and recipe instructions!
Never ever understood how anyone could think this meathead was attractive.
Ohhh, nice izod shirt, he is so retro-emo! Not. God I hate this idiot .. just looking at his portly face and slimy grin makes me want to projective vomit all over my mac-book.
And WTF is his Asian now? His fat face IS taking over his already beady eyes.
Yea I’m w/ Danny. Whatever tiny shred of respect I had for the dude went out the window with his Crapplebee’s dishes.
Yo stip makin funz of mah.
- Love Tyler
By the way please come to me websate and by my warez
I’m still laughing at the Twitter message he sent out a few months ago saying that his brownies tasted “Decedent” – like dead people!
I liked when he told people to go to his website to buy mason jars for canning. So I went to the site and checked. He wants $2.50 per quart jar! They are less than half that at my local WalMart. Buyer beware.
I don’t care if this guy knows how to cook or what, the sad fact is he is obnoxious (even more so to me than Guy Fieri). The whole back off “I am in love with myself” thing is what really gets me.
And am I alone, or has anyone else noticed he is constantly drooling over any female he comes in contact with? On air, and in real life. I brushed up against him at a party in NY a few years back and he looked like he wanted to jump the bones of every woman in the room. Too bad we were all laughing at him.
@Micah
He sees dead brownies?
@ monica
totally! my friend and i used to call him “perv” back with food 911– even when we wrote down recipes, we’d call them “perv’s chocolate mousse” or whatever. haha
Not to digress off this topic but did anyone see the next “genius” idea FN has? “What would Brian Boitano make?”!!!!!!! What the hell is that? Have they officially given up on any good ideas?
An over the hill former figure skater. Oh yea, it just keeps getting better!
LOL @ the “perve” thing.
Mentioning Food 911, reminds me of some of the older shows that I miss. Anybody else remember Ready, Set, Cook? I loved that, especially when Sissy Biggers was the host. (expectations were low back then)
I liked the Two Tamales (I think that was the name) – at least it was DIFFERENT.
“I liked the Two Tamales (I think that was the name) – at least it was DIFFERENT.”
“Two Hot Tamales” – Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken. Loved their show and met both of them on trips to Los Angeles and their restaurants Border Grille and Ciudad. Awesome menus and two down-to-earth gals who care about their clientele and the food that they serve.
Melting Pot !!
Fun and informative. And real. With a variety of hosts/cooks so you never got sick and of the same old tired faces and jokes, like you do with the network “stars.”
Oh, those were good ones. I’ll probably be mocked for this, but LOVED Molto Mario. [shrug]
Some of the stuff on this site is funny. Some is just nit-picky.
Why would you be mocked for Molto Mario. Mario Batali deserves more respect than anyone that’s currently on this network. That’s probably why he left.
Good grief. He is morphing into a real salacious creep isn’t he ?
He was cute up until a few years ago. He’s a bloated version of his old self. What happened?
Yeah, he had a bad day on Today. But he can definitely cook, which is more than we can say for a big percentage of FN hosts. I met him a few years ago at a book signing dinner at a local restaurant. It turns out the chef was called away and Tyler stepped in and made the meal himself — and was still gracious with all of us gawkers before and during dinner. So I know he has it in him.
He just screams phony! I feel like he is the same phony prick on and off camera. Does he ever “turn off”.
I agree about the perv thing, that’s funny. I have noticed it too on air.
On the subject of former shows we miss, I miss Curtis Aikens and his fresh produce show, the mid-late 90s incarnation of How to Boil Water with Sean & Cathy, and Sara Moulton’s 10:00 live show. She often had the Jamaican woman with the black horn-rimmed glasses on. Her name escapes me now. But that was a show I enjoyed.
Did this prick really block off his Twitter feed to FNH ?
What a total fucking suck he is. I knew he hadissues during anepisode of TNFNS where at the beginning he told all the glassy eyed contestants to “settle down” when they were meeting him in Stew Leonards. Yeah Tyler, I’m sure everyone was just giddy to see your fat pudgy face first thing in the AM, knowing you’d would use the opportunity to unduly criticize them because you’re such a smooth ON TV presence.Fuck you fat boy.
oh man, HTBW with Sean Donnellan (and Kathy whatshername) was way better than at least half of what FN currently offers.
LOVED “ready, set, cook!”
I agree with Silvio. His NFNS appearance screamed **egomaniac**
Personally I can’t stand the way he says “alright” “ok” “what we gonna do” “totally off the charts” every second on his “ultimate” show. Just another gangsta wanna-be portly frat boy.
Ty-flo is lame-o.
Hehe. I thought I might be one of the only one who noticed his creepy perv factor rise through the roof whenever a woman who looked semi-normal was within a 10 foot radius of his dough-boy ass. Just another case of a total loser getting fame, and with that, comes the ideal he can get away with making ga-ga eyes at anything in a skirt.
Can’t believe this fudge-face blocked FNH on twitter.
Is that a faux-hawk he is sporting? Eek, he gets more toolish by the day.
I was put off by his nastiness to the contestants on NFNS – especially towards the men. Maybe there is some truth that Bobby and Tyler have an anti-male thing going so they keep their timeslots???
I’m thinking maybe TyFlo hasn’t dropped the baby weight he gained while the Mrs was preggers??????
He was doing a segment with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda a few months back and I swear he was sizing up either of them for a late night rendevous. That boy fancies himself a playah.
That’s priceless.
It’s okay that hoghead blocked FNH on Twitter, because now he will likely be featured here weekly!
Gah. I *loved* Molto Mario, Ready, Set, Cook, and there was this one with, I think, Sara Moulton, where she made desserts…anyone know what that was called?
Watch Tyler missing the salt at http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/32275868/
Molto Mario is on FLN now.
It would have been equally priceless if the tool that is Matt Lauer would have called him on missing the salt.
Boom it’s in the pan and boom there it is so boom da boom da boom. It’s bad when you say boom 10 times in 5 minutes. Lack of a creative vocabulary…work on that.
He’s a bloated fratboy with a wandering eye–and probably hand. I like his recipes, but I don’t like him. I’ve been watching him gain steady weight over these past few years. Sorry, hun, if you want panties, take a leaf from Alton’s book and tone up a bit!
I’m the one who’s probably gonna get shit for it, but I liked Nigella. She’s got the craziest figure on the planet but I think she’s gorgeous and so much fun. Unique, quirky, and just adorable. The other crazy British chef is fun to watch, too–I forget his name. His recipes are what I love to eat!
Anyone else watch KCTSCreate? They have some awesome chefs. Sort of limited, but the Hispanic and Asian chef they have currently are very fun and actually have distinct personalities. I learn a lot about culture as well as cuisine watching those two.
@Kitty – You’re not going to catch any flak from me about your love of Nigella. I love that chick and think she is undeniably gorgeous and luscious. There is just something about her presence…I don’t know. And I’m 100% straight! And Jamie Oliver is the other person you mention, I think. I like him too, but feel he might have just a tad of a Tyler-like ego. Still, he’s much easier on the eyes, IMHO, so I can handle what I perceive to be his ego.
What is KCTSCreate?
My thoughts: he is a disgusting, bloated faced, old, irrelevant man (and mediocre chef) who either came from money or got a lucky break in his youth.
Loved your APPLEBEES dishes, Tyler!!! Way to gain some real credibility as a chef!!! LMAO
I have no problem with Tyler and use his recipes often. You guys are overthinking the situation.
@Katie, I’m glad I’m not alone in the British love. You said it right: Nigella is luscious. Like a good bar of dark chocolate. <3
Jamie does have a bit of an ego, but I also think he has a big case of the crazies. XD
Do you have digital cable? On channel 112 is KCTSCreate. It has all sorts of “crafting shows.” I use the term loosely as they also include travel and cooking segments. They have a show for everyone. Knitting, machine sewing, painting, trail blazing on horseback. It’s really great to watch in the face of all the crap on TV these days. :)
Does anyone think he has a grin like the grinch that stole christmas??
Did anyone else watch Tyler Florence on Top Chef?
Why is he a JUDGE of real cooking?
So, i am late to this party…did anyone else see him cooking on the golf channel the last week?
