He IS cute. But mostly, I love the pseudo-scientific approach, and the way he adds in a storyline and characters to move his show forward. It's a very fresh approach.

And don't forget Robert whatzisface, the guy that does Dinner Impossible. He's a real chef too. And cute enough, if you like that pinched-features look (not my thing, but he isn't ugly, at any rate).

Mario's never on when I'm watching, but I used to like his show. Rachael Ray is cute as a button but I just want to smack her whenever she says "EVOO" or "Yummo". Still, her show has the right idea, showing people how to make good things quickly.

Alton comes the closest to a show that teaches you how to select the basic ingredients and equipment, but I wish there was a show that did exclusively that. I don't suppose it could be very interesting, however. Even Alton sometimes says "Get it from a reputable supplier (blah blah) on the internet (blah blah)" And it's like, without your telling me, exactly how am I to know who is a reputable internet supplier? I know they can't promote other businesses, but it gets annoying. I think Food Network is missing out on a potential line of business here. I know they're getting into the equipment business, if the stuff I saw (in abundance) at Kohl's is anything to go by, but they should consider opening up a specialty food items store on their website. Especially if they keep the prices reasonable... people would flock there.
