#1 Alton, #2 Ina - love her style and her kitchen!, #4 Tyler - he's cute and his food looks great, #4 Bobby Flay - Throwdown, #5 Jamie - I liked his old show too when he cooked in the european style kitchen with the tiny fridge.
Sandra Lee is one of the reasons why remotes were invented - so I can quickly change the channel!!
Best chicken and waffles - EVER - Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles, Hollywood CA - and I know where of I speak because I've had Sylvia's too!!
I can't be the only one who likes Guy Fieri. I think most people who don't like him are women. Guy is a guy's guy cooking guy food for guys. He does stuff like hot dogs smothered with spicy meat sauce. And beer-can chicken. I can see how that kind of thing won't appeal to most women.
Personality-wise, he's loud and immature, like a too-successful frat boy. But who cares? He's enthusiastic about what he does and he communicates that enthusiasm well.
yes, fried chicken(La Jolla had fried chicken for lunch for about two months before we decided it was just too embarassing).
What could possibly be embarassing about fried chicken?
yes and no.
"soul food" is a blanket term--to different people it means different things.
a lot of the time, it refers to a sort of "home cooked" style found in a lot of Southern USA regional dishes.
another way of saying it might be to say that a lot of southern food is comfort food, but they are not the same thing at all.
It's also interesting to note that a wide variety of "Southern" food styles exist outside of the cliche "fried chicken and greens" type dishes a lot of people associate with the South. I've had the honor to work at both La Jolla and Garrett's, two Montgomery, Ala. restaurants specializing in "new" southern food--gourmet interpretations of all kinds of stuff, from fish to pasta to...yes, fried chicken(La Jolla had fried chicken for lunch for about two months before we decided it was just too embarassing).
Wookie -Thanks for the info. I lived in Alexandria area for years. Worked in hospitals in Hampton, Chesapeake and Va Beach areas. I asked your whereabouts because I like your comments on these talks. Enjoy the food up Nawth. yaya
@1stmakearoux, the only place I can think of is Cafe Habana, which is the only Cuban restaurant close to the river...their tres leches is awesome as well.
What is this chicken and waffles I keep hearing about. I'm intrigued.
It was interesting reading everyones remarks on this question-as I have wondered this myself.
@bitter I was in Philly last summer and went to a fabulous Cuban restaurant down by the river. Of course I can't recall the name, but it was truly like walking into a restaurant in Havana! Beautiful decor, great Cuban food (I had ropa vieja), reasonable prices, and attentive servers and manager.
My gf makes great picadillo when I can talk her into it!
