Ina, oh yes. Will definitely tune in, my daughter loves crab in any form and I'm already making maple baked beans (from Cooking Light) this weekend. Thanks for the heads-up. Fortunately we are on mountain time ....10:30pm which makes the time more convenient.

A Bobby Flay and Paula Deen crossover? This kind of epic dimensional rift makes my head explode.

Seriously, I am putting my chicken-fried steak money on southern gal Paula! I love Paula Deen- she seems like the aunt or grandma you'd love to have, and she is the definition of Southern comfort food. Don't you have to love a cook who starts every recipe, "Now take a stick of butter..."

So upset my usual Saturday morning PBS shows--America's Test Kitchen (though ATK will be on Sunday); Everyday Food, Julia Child Master Chefs, Real Simple, etc.etc. won't be on this weekend, guess I'll be able to sleep in, but I miss my shows!

Did anyone watch the ICA with Flay and the Rathburns? Did anyone notice that one of the Rathburns' sous chefs was a certain chef from another cooking contest who was cut way too soon?
