Bravo Creates a Third 'Top Chef' Show

Guess they have to make up for the lack of Project Runway in some way.. I heard a rumor they are adding a reality show about artists as well. I don't mind all of the spin-offs as long as the adorable baldness of Mr. Colicchio manages to show up on them all.

Photo of the Day: Sunbathing Tomato Beauties

If only I could look so beautiful after a day out in the sun! Well.. I guess one can look almost as red...

My favorite cold cereal is _____

I concur with the Cinammon Toast Crunch.
I used to stay in the corner of a cafe in the student center of my university pretty much at any time I wasn't in class.

They had a quirky uber-cheap snack counter that had things like fresh fruit, tea, cheesecake, sandwiches, as well as a never ending bowl of cereal for 2 dollars. You'd get a bowl that you could keep going up for refills any time you wanted.

CInammon Toast Crunch with ice cold 2% was my comfort food of choice when my brain was taxed and I really didn't want to go out of my way to look for healthier alternatives.

Sometimes you just need that indulgence.

My favorite cold cereal is _____

I've been on an All-Bran topped with whole milk streak for a while now....and getting the signal that needs to change-up a bit.

From Talk

My favorite cold cereal is _____

Anyone ever had cracklin' oat bran? It is pretty much the best thing EVER.

From Talk

My favorite cold cereal is _____

Nature's Path has some awesome gluten-free cereals--my fave is the Kamut Krisp, thin crispy flakes that are also organic. My other go-to is Perky's Nutty Rice, the gluten-free version of Grapenuts.

From Talk

My favorite cold cereal is _____

All-Bran Choco! This cereal can only be purchased in Belgium. Imagine spoonful sized shredded wheat. Now make the shredded wheat bittersweet chocolate - inside the shredded wheat - a nugget of dark chocolate. Perfect. Doesn't turn the milk brown so I feel good about eating it. And besides the fiber content helps.

Here at home - a bowl of All-Bran Buds mixed with the honey flavored Kashi Go Lean puffs.

My favorite cold cereal is _____

Aaah do I have to pick just one? Fine...Cinnamon Toast Crunch!

But if I was able to pick runners up:
Kashi Go Lean Crunch
Clusters
Honey Nut Cheerios
Frosted Shredded Mini Wheats

Dude, Barbra's Shredded Oat Squares. They're like the Quaker Oat Squares before Quaker went and added extra sugar and cinnamon and sh...stuff. Why did they have to mess with such a good thing? Now I go to the organic aisle. We don't always have those around the house though because I'll go through the box by myself an a couple of days. We keep Life, Special K red berries, and sometimes honey bunches of oats stocked.

LOL srhcb, I was thinking of that analogy. That always makes me laugh when I'm driving...along with large sports car decals on rear/front windows.

They look like giant Hershey bars.

What was your favorite cereal that has been discontinued?

I was going to put, aside from Life (above), a cereal I loved but is discontinued, at least in my area. I wish I remembered the name of it! I loved Mueslix growing up. There was a brand in the supermarkets 5-6 years ago that served several varieties of meusli with dreamy names of pretty locations in the US like Monterey. I don't recall which company made it, but it was packaged in a soft paper bag. My favorite had dates in it.

From Talk

My favorite cold cereal is _____

Grape Nuts w/ whole milk and lots of sugar - all I ate in college
Barbara's Cinnamon Puffins - straight out of the box

From Talk

My favorite cold cereal is _____

Cracklin' Oat Bran, Honey Nut Cheerios, Honey Bunches of Oats w/ Almonds, Raisin Nut Bran, homemade granola, Special K (and the Protein Plus, Cinnamon, and Pecan versions) ... mmmm I am a cereal addict!

From Talk

My favorite cold cereal is _____

^ I know some of my friends mourn the passing of "Rice Krispie Treat cereal" although I never had it--it's available, but much less so than before. Do they still have Rice Krispies with marshmellows?

I am probably going to be cut out of the forum for saying this, but I don't like cold cereal very much anymore. As a kid, I loved the prizes, and to a lesser extent the taste--Frankenberry, Lucky Charms, and gradually my palate evolved to Golden Grahams. Freshman year in college and summer programs I'd eat Special K or Frosted Flakes if the dining hall fare was particularly rank. But cereal tends to make me bloated and tastes too 'same-y' and boring.

My favorite cold cereal is _____

I can't eat much cereal with the diabetes and all but I love homemade granola...mmmm
and I always know that I'll be happy with a bowl of cherrios with milk and a big glass of oj on the side....for some reason it just works perfectly for me

From Talk

My favorite cold cereal is _____

Mmm...lots of interesting combinations...Grapenuts soaked in choc milk..I never think about using flavored milk :) Anyone use half & half?

Wow, at $185 I think I'll stick with the 99 cent Trader Joe's and Whole Foods bags.

From Talk

My favorite cold cereal is _____

frosted flakes when it was still called frosties!! the best part is adding more frosties to the leftover milk!
Ohh..and cornflakes with bananas.
And Trix, but the fruit shaped kind, the milk turns kinda pink-ish after a while...artificial food coloring much?

From Talk

My favorite cold cereal is _____

1. granola with almonds and coconut
2. grapenuts soaked in chocolate milk

From Talk

My favorite cold cereal is _____

Life. Hands down. Step-Dad says Cap'n Crunch.

From Talk

My favorite cold cereal is _____

Special K with strawberries. Yum! When I buy something different, it's generally Rice Chex, Crispix, Cheerios, or Rice Krispies. Yes, I'm old-fashioned in the morning. I like a banana cut into my Rice K/Rice Ch, not so much in the others. All with cold milk (1% or the skim-that-pretends-to-be-1%), and I'll drink the milk that's left in the bowl.

From Talk

My favorite cold cereal is _____

Cinnamon LIfe with ice cold skim milk!!! There's a new Maple Sugar Life that's not to bad either.

From Talk

My favorite cold cereal is _____

An equal mix of Honey Bunches of Oats, Blueberry Morning, and Golden Grams with a sprinkle of Lucky Charms (usually just try and get the marshmallows) in a bowl I decorated at a pottery store that is red and black with skulls on it with ICE cold skim lactaid milk at night, preferable after midnight.

From Talk

My favorite cold cereal is _____

cheerios + skim milk - anything sweet = perfection. yumyum
