New Neeley show on FNTV

the cake made with jello made me throw-up alittle in my mouth....somebody in fn has big time vested interested in these two, anybody else would've been long gone after their first two episodes, and they advertise their show none stop...and as far as I'm concern the hour that they broadcast the show is to early it should premiur at least by 2 am without reruns...fn why don't you take some tips from MTV they can show you how to really ruin a good thing!!!!

Stuffed Cheeses: Delicious or Disgusting?

A few things:
1. These sounds amazing!
Keshi Yena, from Curacao: Stuffed (hollowed-out) Edam cheese with ground beef or shredded chicken, tomatoes, onions, garlic, bell pepper, olives, capers, parsley, chiles, raisins, and eggs.

Queso Relleno, from the Yucatan: hollowed-out Edam or Gouda cheese stuffed with spicy minced pork or beef, mixed with raisins, olives, almonds, and spices, then steamed until the stuffing is runny. Served in slices with a cream sauce.

2. I think there has been some confusion re "stuffed cheese". As far as I know, the delicious goat cheese-cranberry combination at TJ's is not as much a "stuffed cheese" as a composition of the two.

3. pineapple bits + cheese = gross

Dinner Impossible

There is but one host of Dinner: Impossible and that is Robert Irvine. The show is now dead to me. He does not seem horrible at all. He demands VERY high quality in the food he's providing.

If you have questions about the whole resume BS-fest (Thanks for being geniuses, Food Network execs!) Check out his blog entry addressing it: http://www.chefrobertirvineblog.com/index.php/2008/07/16/

Somerdale's Harlech a Welsh Cheddar with Horseradish and Parsley is an augument in itself for the merits of stuffed cheese. Cheddar and Horseradish go well together. This cheese is great with ale.

It doesn't feel right making disparaging comments about Symon because I genuinely like the guy, but let's be honest, he's a poor replacement for Robert Irvine. Much of the entertainment in the show came from Irvine freaking out, yelling and generally treating people like crap. Is it just me or does that make me sound like a horrible person?

Stuffed Cheeses: Delicious or Disgusting?

plain cheese for me, please.

once in paris my friends and i bought a cheese that had been soaked in calvados. we had a very light dinner in anticipation of this amazing treat {actually i thought it sounded really yucky, but i felt too unsophisticated to say so, since my friends were either europeans or americans living in paris and were anxious to try it}. it was so inedible that i stopped after the first bite and my friends gave up soon after.

No Fair! I was in my 10th step of my 12 step program to quit FN cold turkey. Now I have to re-program my Tivo.....

I once saw Swiss with bits of rye in it and that kind of peaked my interest. That's all it did for me.

I've enjoyed Symon recently on Iron Chef America, but chocolate-covered bacon? Swooooon -- the man has a fan for life!!!

From Talk

Dinner Impossible

I just posted a clip of Michael Symon making chocolate-coverd bacon from a preview episode of Dinner: Impossible. The show looks really good!

I'll need to check this out somewhere online since I don't have cable. Would love to support Symon since his restaurants have always come through for me when I take family and friends who come to town for a visit. Lolita is 1-1/2 blocks from where I live, and Lola is just a 5 minute drive away.

For a couple months, there was a banner strewn in our neighborhood, across the main thoroughfare near Lolita, congratulating Chef Symon.

Can't wait to check this show out!
