For me -- even though I have disagreements with her -- Julia Child still reigns - for making cooking techniques and ideas more accessible to the masses
Padma and Giada cook all day long. Clothing is optional.
Padma cooks? I doubt it.
As far as leaning reall y good stuff Alton Brown is pretty tops. I do like Rober Irvine though he's lucky they don't have test for PEDs at the Food Network
but my favorite cook now (not a chef; just a guy) is Kenji Lopez-Alt (and the rest of his gang at Serious Eats). I just really enjoy how the break different steps down in even common dishes, determine why you do or add different things, and optimize each step.
but it just seems so drawn out. My preference would be for her to keep with American mispronunciation since she's speaking Californian for every other word anyway.

I think he's really taken over where Alton Brown left off with Good Eats, they'd be well served to give him a show (and you wonder why ATK didn't give him more visibility over there).
For me, it's still Alton Brown when it comes to actual cooking, and if we're talking something easy on the eyes Giada all the way.
and was a delightful guy when I had the chance to meet him. But for straight cooking? It's Pepin all the way. Followed by Rick Bayless. I enjoy lots of other shows (Lidia, ATK and its empire, John Besh, Ming Tsai, Mario, Chiarello, etc.), and KLA and the Serious Eats crew are awesome as well. Good call. But Jacques Pepin is the king.
I just got an email advertisement for Alton Brown's performance at out local theater at the end of April. "Eat your Science" Has anyone seen it and is it worthwhile?

The tour hasn't started yet. The first show is April 6th in Charleston, SC.

The Food Lab cookbook is awesome, I highly recommend it.

I'm working my way through it as we speak. Love it so far.

But I simply can't not notice how massively disproportionate her head is with her body.
I know it's nitpicking, but her tiny ass teeth freaks me out. It looks like she has double the number she should have.
I really do like her, but my nit is her over the top (at least it seems to me) pronunciation of Italian words.

Peter -- I never heard of these two guys before -- I started watching some Avec Eric because of you -- some great stuff there - Tx
He's Home Depot guy.

is that too many times he wanted us to take a trip to Lowes to jury rig some sort of kitchen gadget. I'm just not that handy.

He better be, being in Atlanta.

Met him in the one I frequent. Not an event. He was just shopping. We chatted for a few minutes. Nice guy.

That's a great call. Once you get used to the way she speaks it really is one of the best shows. Its a good mixture of practical and gourmet.
He said chef.
