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.

“It’s beginning to smell a lot like X-mas”
. . .
POLYPHENOLS
Aye!!!
Uncle!!!
I can’t speak for anyone else, but that d*mn FN holiday jingle is already driving me crazy! I don’t even watch FN much these days, but the annoying tune has been playing for about three weeks and is sure to continue for at least another month. Enough already!
I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All the Way!
Aye!
And he had the nerve to say that one of the Next Food Network Stars was repetitive?
What a hypocrite.
Share your fat Alton, clearly shot many, many months ago. :)
The champagne ad with the two ditzy slags moving in slo-mo and then freezing mid frame with those “come hither” smirks on their friggin’ faces… anyone concur?
@ Spock – OMG, I was soooo sick of those ones last year, and they are running them again?! A little part of my dies inside whenever I see those commercials.
Okay, The new Kohl’s commercials with Flay….Is it just me or is he starting to look more and more like Alfred E. Neuman from Mad Magazine? Maybe Miss Jillian could do a side by side photo for us. :)
How about the Neelys’ ad for Sam’s club?? barf!!!
Did anyone else notice that that obnoxious xmas music is the same music used in xmas ads from last year, with a slight variation? They lifted the horn track but it’s still sounds cheesy and horrible.
Booby Flay reminds me more of Howdy Doody!!
I hate puppets! Think I see a connection here…..
I know, the Sam’s Club commercial is the WORST! We’re always talking about these poeple being FN whores but this is just the cheesiest of the cheese.
Oh Food Network, Why must you show Alton in his “fat stage”, show his new sexy body, talk about budget cuts…..same commercial as last year.
I!!!! To choking Boooby-Tits McGee Flay with those pepper lights……….
NO MORE KORBEL COMMERCIAL….”a toast for you, a toast for me….a toast to you drunk skinny as driving off a cliff later…..”
correction****
“A toast to you, a toast to me…..a toast to your drunk skinny ass driving off a cliff later……..”
Kitty, that’s CLASSIC about the Korbel commercial-LOL!
For Alton: Share your frightening weight loss secrets(I love the man, but he looks like an attractive pencil..) Hey, if he’s healthy, I’m happy, but when I met him last month, I had to take a moment (He’s a fantastic person, though.)
For the Neelys:Share your Southern cliches
For B. Flay(ke): Share your overbearing arrogance…
Happy Thanksgiving, All!
Flay does look like Howdy Doody. His little nervous laugh he lets off is so annoying.
Jethro McGillicuddy at your service. Poblanos anyone ?
At the supermarket checkout today: Giada is on the cover of SHAPE magazine and shares her special holiday recipes that keep her slim.
Cherry, I saw that cover yesterday. I actually started grinding my teeth as I stood in the checkout line. Grrrrr.
The Kohl’s and Sam’s Club commercials make my eyes roll…
Korbel commercial is so annoying and yeah, the guy smirking is just lame as is the chili pepper x-mas lights Flay is holding.
I never really paid attention the sexual inuendo on the Neeleys, until one of their Thanksgiving shows. Pat was putting something in the oven and Gina went to open the oven and Pat actually said, “Open up your oven, mama!” I haven’t watched them since.
Can we finish with Thanksgiving first before we start talking about Christmas, please?
So sick of the annual Christmas “rush”.
By “rush”, I’m referring to the way that Christmas is promoted, advertised, pushed, whatever, months in advance, every frickin year.
Swear to God, I think I recall seeing a Christmas movie (or movies) on TV one year during SUMMER.

I first saw ‘Flay” on Iron Chef…the real one not the god foresaken ego pandering crap put out by the Food Network.
Seeing Flay cook badly, blame problems on everyone else, then egotistically shore himself up at the end by jumping up on his work area like some Olympic Athletic supporter was enough for me.
The serious neurosis this man has will someday find him in a nut house sucking on Twinkies.
I don’t care for all the chilies in the recipes in the first place, but the nail in the coffin as far as watching him….was when I saw a shot of his hands one episode, and realized…Flay CHEWS HIS NAILS!!!! You couldn’t pay me to eat anything made by this putz.
Giada’s secret for staying slim around the holidays::::
Visiting the porcelain God post-meal…
Alton Brown has been officially dropped from my Thanksgiving guest list because of that commercial.
When I see his crap start showing up in Wal*Mart, he can forget Xmas, too.
“Giada’s secret for staying slim around the holidays: Visiting the porcelain God post-meal…”
Precisely what I thought when I saw the rag in the checkout line. That, or taking tiny bites, pretending to chew, but actually spitting food out in a handy garbage bowl – in honor of her FN colleague, RR ;)
OMG I have those same chili pepper lights. I’ve had them for like five years and never used them. They’ll be going to Good Will. Why didn’t you have Paula Deen sharing a butter flavored dildo that is shaped like a pork chop. (Love my meat ya’ll!)
Idk why the hell Bobby Flay is holding those lights as though he’s trying to do an Edward Scissorhands impression.
I used to be a chef at one of boobie flays places in NYC and I have to say he is one of the most stuck up assholes you have ever met. He can’t cook and he just barks orders while he wipes his nose so snot doesn’t come out into the food. He has a major coke problem which explains his speech problems. What a tool.
Ha ha, Kyle, I always suspected as much about Booby. Nice to have it confirmed.
Um, has anyone else noticed that they’re wearing white after labor day? FOR SHAME! Nah, I don’t give a rat’s patootie.
IF you’re on Facebook, I started a boycott FN group, likely its one of many to come, the darned Nealys Sam’s Club commercial did it for me. Only person I watch on there is Alton, and hes selling out too. He should bail out like Batali, and Emeril for the most part. I’ve always disliked Flay, he is just a jerk in too many cases, and if I can see he’s being a jerk to people on the clips they show, then one can assume its likely worse in person and on tape they don’t show. Wow, love this site!
