    People who smoke are pigs. It is a filthy disease-causing habit. People who smoke fling their used butts on the sidewalk or any other place it suits them. I definately do not want to watch someone smoke on TV. Since advertising cigarrettes on TV would cost a radio or TV station it’s license, it would be a delight to see any broadcast outlet fined when the host smokes. I praise New York for banning smoking in virtally all public places. Good for them. More states should do the same. Cigarette smoke kills the taste buds and the stench ruins the meal. Horray for FN for telling Tony "I’m so much smarter than you" Bourdain to lose his cancer sticks!!!

    Well, all you have to do is watch any of Rachel Ray’s shows to see that she like to drink.

    I do get the feeling that when RR drinks she becomes even more annoying…if that is possible.

    And for what it is worth, it is not uncommon for people in the restaurant business to smoke and drink. The nature of the business just seems to lend it self to those actvities. Now, I know RR was never in the restaurant business…so maybe she just likes to smoke and drink for the heck of it.

    My opinion, when one has little to offer, they attack others who are working hard.
    Well, thats this old retirees thoughts.

    rouxdog: You are absolutely correct. My comment was very inappropriate. I apologize to everyone! [:I][:I][:I][:I]

    I have found that Food Network HD is much different that the Food Network. I am not exactly a fan of the network but it seems that they are improving on that channel. The programming is different in Knoxville, TN

    WOW!!

    It looks like A Cook’s Tour, Tony Bourdain’s Food Network show, is being rerun on Christmas night.

    Tony Bourdain quit Food Network because they told him to quit smoking!!!

    That’s why he’s on the Travel Channel with a disclaimer that says there is adult content…please advise…don’t let the kiddies watch a guy enjoying food, but smoking a ciggie and drinking an adult beverage.

    It’s still much better TV than Food Network.

    I think Bourdain has burned his bridges with FN. I think it will be a long time before FN would bring Tony back.

    Incidentally the Travel Network had all new shows on beginning 12/17/07. They called it their pilot week.

    It is my favorite.

    Can’t wait for Jamie’s new show…..I loved Naked Chef.
    Nigella rocks.
    Am I the only Iron Chef fan?
    Completely burned out on Emeril & Rachel Ray.
    Bring Bourdain back!!!!
    I know he has a show on Travel, but i’d like to see him do a
    more all food kind of show, like Diners…….

    Can we really stand yet another Rachael Ray show?

    Oh, wait a minute -it’s just $40 A Day, Inside Dish, and Tasty Travels renamed Rachael’s Vacation.

    I get it.

    More info on Food Network changes. Personally, I don’t agree with their changes {toward even quicker meals?}

    there seems to be a pattern there at food network…. they seem to pick one or two hosts per season, give ’em 2 or 3 shows, over-expose them and then burn them out, wringing as much money and promotion as they can out of them. case in point: Bobby Flay. another: Emeril. I’m waiting for Rachael Ray’s 15 minutes to be over any day now. god, please let it be so.
