Food Fight: Food Network Awards to Debut Sunday

when are these awards being aired? went on the website and din't find a thing.
so no mention of the james beard award, they will make their own awards for their own idiot hosts. let me guess...rachael ray - biggest mouth, most annoying. giada...how low can my neckline be before i burn them in a sauteeing accident?
i hate the food network. so disappointing, since i enjoyed them a lot when they first started.

hope to see more coverage of the big night. what was for dinner, etc.
but i have something to say that may not be related but i couldn't help but think as i was reading your posting- and that is, we have this channel called the food network. however, they prefer to live in a vacuum and refuse to pay attention to anything going in the real world. a mention of the james beard award may have been nice- i guess none of their people will ever win anything,so why bother.
went on their website to send them a piece of my mind. surprise, surprise...no way of contacting the idiot site.
anyone else feel the way i do?

Question of the Day: When did you first realize you really loved food?

i don't think it was a moment per se, just looking back on my childhood- all my significant memories revolve around food. that continues to this day.

i watch food network canada -- and it's quite a bit different.. yes, there are some of the annoying US shows... but a lot of the original Canadian shows are amazing with good cooking and credible, entertaining chefs

GK: Bobby Flay got a Who's Who, and he's Food Network, but point taken. As the channel moves further away from actual cooking and more toward competition-type shows and unbag-and-plate shows, it's not surprising at all that it didn't give any nod to the Beard Awards. After all, a large portion of the Food Network audience couldn't care less.

Wheat with peanut butter and sliced banana. One of my pregnancy cravings that never went away. Second fave is pumpernickel with veggie cream cheese.

Nova lover here, also whitefish salad. Funny story when I was pregnant I went to Einstein's Bagels and ordered a cinnamon bagel with nova and cream cheese and onion. The woman who took my order gave me the strangest look. She repeated it to me, I said yes yes pregnant, She nodded and YES it was good. Would not do it today, but them it was good.

What to put on which kind of bagel?

I'm with the nova lovers -- open-faced onion, sesame or poppy bagel with cream cheese, nova, onion and tomato (capers are good too). Mmmmm...

I also love a good tuna sandwich on a bagel -- sometimes cinnamon-raisin -- to get the sweet/savory combination.

Cinnamon-raisin bagel with sundried tomato spread....sounds like an odd combination but it works!
