I like Paula Deen and Nigella a lot. I don't like Rachel Ray -- why would someone with such an influence on what people eat choose to do advertisements for Dunkin Donuts? :rolleyes:

Here's a link to a purported guest blog by Anthony Bourdain, commenting on the current crop of chefs: Bourdain guest blog

I can't vouch for its authenticity, and in fact I had to pull up the cached version, but it makes for fun reading.

I do not know the name of the show, or of the chefs, but back in the late 80's and early 90s, there were these two guys on cable (from Virginia I think) that were hilarious as all get-out. They never said so back then, but I'd say they were gay, not that it matters except it added to their mystique. One was big and the other skinny. Very Laurel and Hardy ish. If someone remembers them, speak up. Be fun to look them up and see if any shows still exist.

My mom loved that show! Laban and Larry were the chefs, they were on PBS, not cable ... it was called "Cookin' Cheap."

Wolf to the rescue!!! That's them! They were a riot!
