I can't get into Emeril - too full of himself. BAM!
My favorite is the French guy Jacques. He makes great food with normal ingredients. It never seems to fail that whenever I tune into the food network its:
"Now, add 5 cups of sugar, 3 cups of condensed heavy cream, 12 sticks of butter and the yolks from one dozen eggs, ..."
I don't think so.
I don't really pay attention to the specific recipes that Jacques uses - I just pay attention to how he does what he does and with what ingredients. Once, Jacques and Yan from Yan Can Cook teamed up for their own Iron Chef. They both went to the market , picked out some common ingredients and went back to see what they could do with them. Not as esoteric as the Iron Chef (which I love) but very instructional and inspiring because that's pretty much what the rest of us do - go to the market and try to pick out some stuff to make something good with in about 30 to 45 minutes.
I don't know Alton Brown but, from what y'all are saying, I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for him - sounds like my kind of show.
