Alton Brown is the best there is on FN. What a treat.

Guy Fieri is at the complete other end of the spectrum. I think he is a hack, and find him very offensive. I wrote a letter to Scripps (who own FN) and didn't even get a form letter back.

I do like Ina Garten and Bobby Flay.

From the old days: Julia Child, Galloping Gourmet, Two Old Fat Ladies, and Cooking Cheap. Those are the ones I learned to cook from.

I like the older shows from Yan Can Cook also.
