Alton had a good special on onions the other night, in which he made a french onion soup. I never knew there was so much to know about onions. Unfortunately, perth and I missed the part where he told us how to keep from crying while we cut them.
I saw another one once where he talked about artichokes. He always has such interesting tips and his shows are fun.
I wouldn't mind Emeril so much if it weren't for his obsession with strange combinations and the constant saturation in his "essence." It seems to me that his shows are more about him than the food.
Of course, my favorite on Food TV is Jamie Oliver. He comes up with some odd combinations, too, but his sound really good most of the time. Plus, he has an astoundingly cute accent.
I think most of us can agree that Bobby Flay is a putz.
