Food Network Fans?

Question

(not a fan? read no further & please keep nasty comments to yourself)

If you were able to pick one of the chefs/stars to cater a special event for you--free, of course!--who would you pick, & why?

I'd have a hard time choosing....

(And thank you in advance for your answers!) ;-)

Answer 1

Ooooh...toughy. Emeril could be fun, cos "Porkfat rules!" so he's a guy after my own heart attack. Would love to see what Paula Dean could do in London, just for the fun of it. Rachel Ray...I'd get her to cater a Friday night with friends maybe, just so none of us would have to do it ourselves, but she seems more that kinda cook than a "special eventer". Does Bourdain count? I mean, technnically his shows are on the Food Network...would be cool to kick back with him, but he has an "eat anything" philosophy which is braver and more admirable than my own...Nope, when all is said and done, for that unique occasion, you need a man who can create his own bacon-smoker out of junk, knows the chemistry behind taffymaking and is just downright cool. When it absolutely positively has to be a fabulous event, who ya gonna call?

Alton "Good Eats" Brown, that's who!

Answer 2

I would chose Rachael Ray to cater my event. She has the most personality and would get along with everyone. I love her meals. I think that she makes stuff that everyone can enjoy. She doesn't use all the fancy ingrediants that you can't even pronounce or find in the store. She always tries to please everyone's tastes. Overall, I think she is a great cook.

Answer 3

Either Paula Deen, Rachel Ray, or Ina Garten.

Answer 4

Paula Deen, because of her good southern home style cooking, and everthing is delicious! If I wanted a fancier event I guess I would pick maybe Ina Garten, because her food is always classy and beautiful.

Answer 5

I would let Bobby Flay cater for me because all of his food just looks so exquisite. Plus, he's funny, so I could enjoy his meal and his company.
I would NEVER let Paula Dean or Emeril near my kitchen, even though they cook better than me. I don't like either one.

Answer 6

For sure it would be PAULA! I love Paula. Emeril would be a close 2nd. Paula is just a good ole' country girl who makes fabulous home-style food. And I just love her little laugh, she always makes me smile. I cannot wait to take her cooking class next year in Savannah.

Answer 7

i think of it could be cool for Nickelodeon to have a new child's cooking tutor, the place little ones like us (10-13) who're homestead on my own all summer, can cook dinner their very own lunch. they'd call it "with the aid of fact microwave mac and cheese is getting uninteresting" and it might instruct little ones a thank you to cook dinner issues like spaghetti, and in keeping with possibility make some home made soup. Or Pizza. i like homestead made pizza, yet i don't be responsive to a thank you to make it. it could be a success if that they had placed distinctive areas of the tutor in comercials, like in the time of spongebob! What do you think of? <3 D.J.

Answer 8

Alton Brown, totally. He's hilarious and has great ideas. My husband uses a lot of his recepies and we have one of his books too. He'd be a great caterer and great entertainment at the same time! :)

Answer 9

Rachel Ray - great ideas for any occasion and in 30 Minutes !!

Answer 10

Taylor Florence. I have tried many of his receipes and they are fanstasic! How to boil water is one of my favorite shows. Plus....he's really easy on the eyes......
