When you have Marc Summers talking, condescendingly, about world-class chefs teaching us their techniques and recipes, it's pretty damn ridiculous. LMK when you've watched it. If you watch closely, you'll see a couple very fleeting stills of Amy Findlay. Poor thing, go to her show's page at FN and it says it's not running and there are no scheduled airings in the future. They so totally didn't want her. The heck of it is, one of the new shows is touted as something like an everyday gourmet and I thought, Helloooo? Amy Findlay anyone? All they want are jerks like that annoying Guy Fiedddddi and I know you like him -- sorry -- but to me he's just vapid and loud. Not so much propaganda as spin.

I've seen it play out in both arenas. Haven't watched the Chefography about FN yet...still waiting for me on the Tivo. Bummer! I thought it might be interesting and informative. Sounds like they went with propagandish (new word?)instead. Hehe..between S-H and the Hyena, I have no doubt. I’ve seen it play out in both arenas.

That 'chefography' about FN was kind of depressing, with their pooh-poohing the early years as <em>just</em> chefs teaching people how to cook. Freakin' oy... They're darn close to a COM soup show with Semi-Ho! Hey, chick! That ‘chefography’ about FN was kind of depressing, with their pooh-poohing the early years as just chefs teaching people how to cook.
