For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
Anthony Bourdain is definitely tres sexy, but he's old enough to be my dad. Same goes for Rick Bayless.
My vote goes to Dave Leiberman, he is just so damn cute, and Jamie Oliver comes second.
I wouldn't mind some Chris Consentino and Aaron Sanchez either.
Eat for Eight Bucks: Cold Noodles
my favorite summer meal! but to me the garlic is a must, it's not the same without it!
What is Chinese Brown Sauce Made Of?
Just try different combination and ration of ingredients you already have, the base is comprised of mostly soy sauce, sugar, oyster sauce, broth, rice wine and a bit of cornstarch. or at least the version I make at home does. but try add different stuff to get the taste you're familiar with. Just experiment and taste to adjust to your likings

The Nuts in Kung Pao Chicken: Peanuts or Cashews?
@Barry Foy I laughed when I read your third point because it's so true. Growing up my mom would always scold me when I stick my chopsticks on the bowl of rice. Honestly tho, I normally doesn't notice those type of things when I'm looking at food photographs.

weird reasons for not trying certain foods?

My Shocking Food Confession: What's Yours?
I can't stand mashed potatoes and mac'n' cheese
mashed potatoes have no texture at all, and mac'n' cheese is just too cheesy and gunky, I can take one or two bites of it, but any more than that just make me want to puke.
And I can't stand raw cheese either, I tried to love it, but I just can't help but gag. I love cheese melted like on a pizza or quesadilla, but I can't eat it uncooked.
I love crumbled raw ramen with the flavor packet thing too! I have ate that as a snack ever since when I was young.
I eat fried eggs with soy sauce for breakfast sometimes.
I also eat plain marinara sauce just with a spoon.
I like canned soup, especially Progresso. I make soup myself too, but when it's just me, I just buy a can of soup for lunch or dinner.
fresh cocoa beans
@Boscompb: how do i "press" it?
@phaelon56: thanx a lot for that cocoa nib in chocolate idea!
fresh cocoa beans
@phaelon56 :after i roast them, can i just crush them and use it as cocoa powder?
fresh cocoa beans
it's raw whole cocoa beans - straight from the pod.

hey, i'm teri, i think i might be the youngest person on this thread here
i'm 17, and i currently live in Belize, but i am originally from Taiwan, so i grew up eating traditional chinese food.
i am graduating from highschool this summer, and i'm going to study restaurant management.
i love all kinds of food and i want to learn how to make them, so i found this site, which i love, because there's new updates everyday to keep me entertained.
The one thing I want to learn is (?)
i would love to learn food photography,
i always tried to take pictures of the food i make, but the pictures alway weren't as good as the food
Chinese Dumpling and Soup Technique
yeah that is how we normally cook dumpling
i just didn't know there was a reason behind it
but in my family, we don't drink the "soup" of the dumpling
we normally make a different and more flavorful soup to go with it
Love to eat, hate to chop
i hate chopping garlic too. it's just sticky...
but i love chopping celery, esp when i slice the ribs into strips,
it's so fun
Waffles vs. Pancakes
waffles, no doubt
with strawberries and whipped cream
or with syrup is good

The Nuts in Kung Pao Chicken: Peanuts or Cashews?
Definitely peanuts - cashews are used in cashew chicken! :)
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
HA! HA! OMG! some of these posts are freaking hilarious! Thanks!
okay...I have a serious thing for Chris Cosentino...always liked him on the Next Iron Chef...
Aaron is pretty yummy too....Has anyone seen his tats before???
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
The Deen Boys, Bobby and Jaime, are adorable! They got my vote!
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
If there's a hands down, all around winner - and I'm not saying there is - it's Alton Brown. He's smart. He's creative. He's talented . And he's adorable. .
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
Aarón Sánchez is just perfect.... he is so funny, talented, and down to business... I love his laugh... and the serious face he pulls on "Chopped" when he has to judge. I wish him the best. xoxox
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
Arron Sanchez is my choice. So cute and adorable. He's the highlight of chef vs. city :D
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
i'll be the single vote for george duran, i guess.
he's just so damn cuddly.
i miss 'ham on the street.'
'secret life of' is just so crappy.
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
Tyler Florence used to be my fav FN hottie then he got puffy. Strangely I find Adam Richman on Travel channel's man vs food to be sexy and hes definitely on the beefy side but a cutie none the less. Id also have to say Iron Chef Symon with his soul patch.
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
Another vote for Bourdain...
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
Wow, first of all I have to say lay off Tyler for gaining weight. Holy crap ladies, you would not tollerate those kind of comments about a woman.
When I first started watching Emeril I thought he was very sexy/cute. The major determining factor for me is definately personality-- I love Guy Fieri, and I soooooooo love Duff Goldman! These are guys you know would be fun in and out of the kitchen! While Bobby Flay, Curtis Stone and the like are very physically attractive, they lack personality big-time. I think Ramsay is great too-- he is all fire! And isn't this poll about heat?
Unfortunately, none of the FN men compare to the sex appeal of the hottest woman on the network-- Nigella Lawson! She exudes sensuality and emphasises the look, taste and texture of food. Show me a man who makes food that appealing!
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
Sexy chef = technique, final product, then looks
The ultimate food master Masaharu Morimoto
Wolfgang Puck - he is old, but the way he handles food is sexy!
Same for Jacques Pepin
Tyler
Alton
Martin Yan
Jacques Torres
and just love Fabio Viviani - somebody give him an show!!
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
I forgot the name of the french chef with long hair on the Top Chef Masters. I found him incredibly hot. He's off limits but a girl can still dream. Tall and solid. I also liked the way he behaved.
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
I definitely second all the votes for Tony Bourdain. Sexy.
Also, if we're talking about judges on Chopped, I can't believe no one else has mentioned Scott Conant!! That smile?!? Come on!
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
I am between Jamie Oliver (when his first series began The Naked Chef and he still had his long hair and his lisp!) and Anthony Bourdain (even though he is on The Travel Channel now) since the Food Network still plays reruns of A Cooks Tour here-and-there. His attitude just turns me on!
I want to sneak into his luggage and stow me away to Vietnam so I can eat chiles with him on those boats at the water markets. Also I want to eat pig parts with him in Bangkok in the night snack carts! Mmmm...take me away Tony! I'll wear my Ramones t-shirt and prove my love to you!
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
FWIW - I fully believe that Chiarello's appearance was on TCM was shaped by reality-TV post-production. Comment's not on topic, really, and I guess I don't think any of the current FN males are all that attractive, but I just had to add my two cents!
:)
Well, hang on....if John Besh counts as FN, then I might have use my half-assed vote for him. ;)
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
chuck hughes, definitely! for all canadians!
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
@SkinnyFatty - Rick Bayless is not really on FN, although I admit to being VERY jealous when I saw he was one of the judges of the semi-finals of NFNS. I was definitely rooting for him to go all the way on TCM, not based upon food (there were several chefs who I'd rate on the food) but strickly on flutter-my-heartness. It's not just his looks and smile, but everything I know about him, he's the kind of guy whom I'd settle into my kitchen. Alas, he's contentedly married. Can we clone him?
Within my age range (*sigh*) it would definitely be Aaron Sanchez of "Chopped" (I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned him - or should I be happy at the lack of field?) and the other dark-haired judge (restauranteur?) whose name is escaping me at the moment......
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
I must have missed something. I didn't catch the parts where Michael Chiarello was acting like a jerk on Top Chef Masters. Danny Boome is adorable. I happen to find Guy hilarious and would enjoy meeting him. I'm not a fan of Anthony - rude and crude have never been turn ons for me. Alton absolutely is sexy. Robert Irvine as well. And lucky me - he may not have a show on FN, but my hubby looks very hot every evening as he cooks for me!
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
I've always been a sucker for a bad boy so you KNOW Anthony Bourdain is at the top of my list! Running neck and neck though - is Jamie Deen. Not only is he hot but he completely stole my heart when he and Bobby showed up for Paula's bridal shower wearing bridesmaids dresses. Boys who dote on their mother - how can you beat that?
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
I can't believe no one has mentioned Danny Boome! Not only is he totally cute and sexy, he seems to have a great personality and sense of humor. I really like his style of cooking, and his accent... Oh my! He can be my "Rescue Chef" anytime!!!
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
Tyler Florence before he got fat. He now looks similar to Bobby Flay. Totally agree with PumpkinBear about Chiarello. He had me until then too. But, because of Top Chef Masters, I kind of have a little crush on Rick Bayless now. What's hotter than the food he makes? Plus, he seems like such a nice guy.
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
I also want add Tony Bourdain to my list. I met him when he came to Montreal to promote his book and he was really nice. But I wouldn't hit on him either, his wife seems like b---- and would probably kick my ass. So I'm happy just admiring him from a distance...

I seriously had no idea--thought I was the only one. IT'S STILL GOING HERE! HAHAHAHA
Guess it's contradictory to say:
"The way to mans' heart is through his stomach"...as we're randy for munchies too LOL
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
Rob Rainford from Food Network Canada's "Licence to Grill". I'd love to drench bbq sauce all over him and eat him up! Mmmmhmmm...
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
Robert Irvine needs to lose the overbite... Jamie Oliver needs to lose the lisp... Paula Deen needs to lose one son...
And Guy Fieri is perfect in every way...
