i know you guys are always poking at Paula Deen for her doughnut burger and butter this, butter that, but I can't help but notice how many not-so-good-for-you foods that Serious Eats writes about....burgers, pizza, fried pickles, ice cream, and most recently deep fried bacon
I would love to see more high quality food news, not all, just some
thanks
just saw this on Grub Street and checked it out - VERY cool to see Chef Ripert in action and cooking his famous fish: Avec Ripert
he eez zooo frenshhhhhh
new, so not a lot of content just yet, but great videos from Eric Ripert - today's tomatoes provencal look amazing yet simple
aveceric.com
Looove Chef Ripert and love watching his cooking videos on his website http://aveceric.com/
can't get enough - I've never been to Spigolo, maybe I'll go check it out and run into the man himself!
So...if Paula Deen did a show about deep fried bacon, would everyone here be excited and singing her praise? trust me, I am no fan of her cooking style, I'm just trying to understand the thought process
maybe I just chalk it up to "to each his own"
thank you for the response Ed.
Looking forward to a sister site one day called Veg Out or something like that, but more clever like Slice and A Hamburger Today.
cheers.
p.s. today's topics are great New Amsterdam Market, Cooking with Kids, Cheap Organic Food
It's not necessarily about nutrition, as it is about variety of stories - and not saying take it down altogether, said "not all, just some"
@JerzeeTomato - my guess is you were being sarcastic with the "get on that" but I think there is some merit to that idea, so Ed if you are reading, I'd love to see a piece or two on Garden plots, Making interesting flavored sorbet or homemade Italian ice, difference in plum varieties
but maybe I am misinterpreting the term "Serious Eats" and comfort food is what it's all about!
If you are in NY, Michael Colameco has chefs on all the time - Food Talk on WOR 11am everyday
this is terrible! i loved that site!!! boo to whoever complained :(
Adam - another post went up today - back to basics with salt and pepper 101
i realized have been under-seasoning until now, i always wondered why my fish always tasted bland...duh
i'm a salt/pepper coating convert now
someone her age? it says she's only 27...is that old? or am i missing something
i'm looking forward to seeing Richard or Stephanie win, they're both nice and quiet, similar to previous winners like Harold, Ilan and Hung to a lesser degree - but none of them were ever annoyingly harsh (well maybe Ilan towards Marcel)
To make her less painful to watch next week, I hope Lisa wears clothes that actually fit, and no tank top please!

Chew on That
What ever happened to understandijng the concept of diversity. To the Indivdual beauty as well as passion is in the eye of the beholder Practice more tolerance of other cooking styles. These folks grew up around their cuisines and cherish their traditions as much as you do yours ! Our sensibilities are all different and take a lifetime to develop..Acid tongued food critics .....what R WE gonna do with them ?????
@Susquehanna I agree with you. It pleases me that your aunts find her entertaining. Paula can be comical. With the health issues our country faces due to our chosen diets, I would like to see cooking shows promote healthier ingredients and use them in innovative ways.
Now that you mentioned it, I find Paula being called "the drunk cook" to have some merit. She does act a bit tipsy. Remember Julia Child's early episodes? "One cup of wine for the beef burgandy and one glass of wine for me." Gulp
It's true that eating Paula's brand of food everyday would lead to poor health, but most reasonable people understand this and do not eat this way. Plus, I don't think Serious Eats OR Paula *ever* advocated eating over-rich food as a habit or lifestyle.
Serious Eats doesn't have a duty to preach about health food. It's an all-food site, as Ed Levine emphasized above, that assumes it's readers are reasonable people with decent self-management skills. We should all be flattered!
Parenthetically, some of the healthiest, fittest people I know -- who run marathons and complete triathlons -- rarely, but occasionally, eat stuff like Paula's cooks on her shows. They're good self-managers and aren't too rigid in their thinking or eating. I admire them.
@dianeb: I respect your opinion (and others'), but Paula's lack of class is what kinda' endears her to me. And my two great aunts, Evi & Kalli, get a real kick out of her. They claim that she is "the drunk cook" and they imitate her accent. Kalli believes Paula drinks a fifth of scotch before every show. Don't think so, but that is hilarious.
Personally, I have never been interested in duplicating any recipe seen on the Paula Deen show. She literally "throws" ingredients together to produce recipes popular in the 1950's. She doesn't have the skills to be in front of a TV camera. Paula's Party should be removed from the network. Simply, it is disgusting. She lacks class.
So, deep frying bacon and doughnut hamburgers is just part of her act. I love bacon, however, common sense tells me that it shouldn't be deep fried. Her ratings are down. Rachel Ray's ratings are down. Giada's ratings are down. Emril has been cancelled. Mario Batali has been cancelled. It's just a matter of time before Paula walks.....and The Neeleys.....and SANDRA LEE, please. They need to get the charlatans off the network. Thank God for PBS!
He had me at french fries. Or whatever he was talking about...
@bitchincamero: I saw that clip and he was great. What's NOT to like about him? He's fantastic all the way around. A talented, detail oriented perfectionist who performs swimmingly under the gun. And a trip to his restaurant is a treat you will not soon forget.
