Some genius at Entertainment Weekly compiled a list called "15 for Foodies: TV's Top Kitchens." An apparently sad, sad attempt to name the best cooking shows failed miserably because there is no Good Eats. Their own saving grace was placing Alton Brown's other show, ICA, on the list.
But seriously, no GE? How, oh how, could they have done at that to AB? He makes the best cooking show on TV right now and quite possibly the best cooking show EVER!
- 30 MINUTE MEALS
- PAULA'S HOME COOKING
- MARTHA
- THROWDOWN WITH BOBBY FLAY
- TOP CHEF
- DOWN HOME WITH THE NEELYS
- BAREFOOT CONTESSA
- JULIA CHILD: LESSONS WITH MASTER CHEFS
- EMERIL LIVE
- IRON CHEF AMERICA
- AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN
- MOLTO MARIO
- THE MINIMALIST
- EASY ENTERTAINING WITH MICHAEL CHIARELLO
- HOW TO BOIL WATER
Thank Heaven, they threw Julia in there. And "Molto Mario" was a pretty good show; one of the show I watched early on when I first started getting Food Network. But come on, how on earth does AB and GE get snubbed in favor of some of that crap?

I clicked all the way through, expecting each time to see Good Eats, and then I fell off the end of the list. Guess I should've known better than to click to an EW story from CNN.com's homepage, even if it looked relevant. Alton Brown has a background in production (having done commercials, etc.). He's a trained chef as well. On top of that, he's an excellent teacher (although some of us apparently hate teachers, hehe). Leaving Good Eats off the list is a shameful travesty of epic proportions.

Michael Chiarello? are you kidding me?!? I saw him make a black and tan with Guinness and CORONA for crying out loud! BLASPHEMY- he even said to put the Guinness in first because it was heavier. since that inexcusable piece of misinformation and dumb-assedness I refuse to have anything to do with him. end of lecture.
I'm more appalled at 30 Minute Meals and How to Boil Water being on that list!
I've tried to watch America's Test Kitchen but I find the host to be pompous.
I totally agree with the post, but then it WAS Entertainment Weekly and I never expect much from them anyway.
The Holly, I think 'dumb-assedness' is one of the best words I've ever heard and I plan on adding it to my vocabulary.
I'm surprised they only list one Rachael Ray show :-)
Besides, Alton and Giada have to make up for the lack of Emeril and Mario cooking shows now.
The EW list is laughable.
Thanks Brown Sugar, use it in good health :)
