I love the food network, and the Iron Chef is definitely one of my top 3 fav programs on there! I'm a bigger fan of the Japanese version than Iron Chef America, but I think the American translators add a little flavor/comedy to it.....

There's something calming about watching people cook, especially Emerill....he has such a huge persona, presence, and control of the audience.

Alton Brown is great too; to call him a food geek would be a major understatemet.

If I were told that I were only be able to receive 2 channels on my TV at home, I'd be perfectly content with The Food Network, and Discovery Channel.
