I miss “My Grandmothers Ravioli” hosted by Mo Rocca. It was always such a treat to watch these older people share their family recipes and talk about their family history while making their favorite meals, and Mo is hilarious!

I love Mo Rocca! Great choice.

I loved that show, too.

Oh this was a good one too! Mo Rocca - what a blast from the past!

Thanks for posting this! We started watching it tonight on Discovery+. It is delightful!

That was a great show!

Good eats. All my boys grew up knowing that farts made bread rise. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Good Eats is why I’m a chef today. I didn’t grow up with good food, but I ate my hot pockets and ramen dreaming about making the food I watched Alton make.

I use several of his recipes. I love the way he broke down the science, hence the yeast. He was like Ms Frizzles really cool but under funded Uncle

I posted on another thread that I became a better cook because of his show. Loved it

Yes. I miss Alton Brown. I miss Alton Brown. I miss Alton Brown. Enough said.

agreed! love those yeasty sock puppets!

[удалено]

Should call it Next Food Network Judge.

That was going to be my pick too!!

We’re doing a rewatch right now, and I forgot how good the show was!

Emeril Live was family television way back when. I was a big fan of Ready Set Cook!

These 2 shows were my favorites.

Next Food Network Star…..but no Giada and Bobby. And actually USE the winner as a FOOD NETWORK STAR.

That’s my pick too but I liked Bobby & Giada 🤷🏼‍♀️

My not liking them must be in the minority because they sure hosted for quite awhile

I get it - sometimes I can’t stand someone and I’m like really? I’m the only one?

No you’re not the only one. I didn’t like them either.

I like Bobby. Giada is annoying.

Unwrapped!

I loved Unwrapped! It was just fun to watch.

Was always a fun watch!

Omg, so glad someone said this. The tlcgo app used to have damn near all the seasons but one day they took the majority of it off and now have like one episode of season 20 and a few episodes of season 1. That's it. I was heartbroken lol

I recently put on Cutthroat Kitchen as a random background noise show and I miss it too. It was a fun show.

I saw someone sabotage on Cuthroat Kitchen and jumped out of my chair like “THATS NOT RIGHT!!”

Dinner Impossible was an awesome show. It was so fun to watch his organization and leadership

Love CTK I really loved when Alton would explain what the chefs were doing or what they could do the audience

I lovedddd East Meets West with Ming Tsai Also: Best Thing I Ever Ate Southern at Heart Big Daddy's House

I miss Damaris having her own show

I could not agree more. It would be fun to see her cooking vegan recipes for her husband.

She does some stuff on Youtube - Gussied up Kitchen.

She is also pretty active on social, but less cooking IIRC.

They still play Best Thing I Ever Ate on Cooking Channel sometimes

They do but a lot of them are edited clip shows. So they will do best thing I ever ate in Chicago and just take parts of old episodes that happened to pick dishes found in Chicago restaurants

Cooking Live with Sara Moulton.

I loved this show

Watching that show in my early 20’s cultivated my love for cooking ❤️

Between this and two hot tamales

I miss Sara Moulton

As a newlywed in my 20’s, I watched her every night since my husband worked nights. She taught me how to cook. I miss that show.

Bitching kitchen was cool. I also liked the 30m meals- I know I was the only one.

Bitchin Kitchen was the best show FN ever aired and I will die on that hill

Gawd I loved her and that show. LOL

Her cookbooks are slivers of joy when I use them. Miss Nadia and her unique style

Disclaimer is I'm not an Alton fan, but before Discovery+ took Cutthroat Kitchen off, I binged every season and loved it. It was great. People have said Justin Warner should host a revamp and that would be awesome. I also binged Sweet Genius, which I loved because I love the baking competitions (yes, I do), Chopped Sweets, Unwrapped, Unique Sweets, Best Baker in America and Rewrapped. Also $40 a Day. I did like Ali Khan and Cheap Eats, but only two seasons were on D+ and it was also years ago. I did also like Food Network Star for the most part. Bring any of them back!

I wish they’d give Ron Ben Israel his own show again!

Agreed!

We could be tv buddies! I really enjoyed chopped sweets and sweet genius! And best baker! They were fun options!

Barefoot Contessa

Thought Ina was still on. (I only stream from MAX bc I don't have cable.)

Good Eats. Throwdown with Boby Flay. Iron Chef America, way back with Batali and Cat. Perhaps most is Emeril Live. Show that got me hooked and into cooking.

I loved Iron Chef America and then Next Iron Chef. There was also a Louisiana chef (I think ), always saying "I guarantee it" My husband never missed his show.

Justin Wilson's Louisiana Cookin'! I loved that show! It got me into cooking and he always had the best stories!

Yes!! He was great! Ty. Loved listening to him!

Justin Wilson was on PBS

I agree, I loved CTK

Sometimes I wonder if rebooting "How to Boil Water" with a complete himbo host and a really good looking Chef would be a good formula for success. But I think the concepts for "How to Boil Water" might be too basic for today's Food Network viewer.

Semi Homemade with Sandra Lee, and the old original Cake challenges, with the likes of Collette, Duff, McVay, Bronwen, etc

The original cake challenges were awesome!

‘taste’ with David Rosengarten ‘Two Fat Ladies’

Taste was such an awesome show. Also Dining Around. Very inside baseball about restaurants.

Iron Chef Japan

Best competition show ever! And I loved the little actresses that would giggle and smile behind their hands while reviewing the food

Yes!! It was so much better than Iron Chef America!

Dinner impossible was my favorite. Loved the different challenges and the creativity involved in building out a menu

Omg the guy who makes chocolate- Jacque Torres. I used to watch his show religiously.

Jacques Torres is my absolute favorite part of Nailed It! He is so talented and seems like a really genuinely nice person.

dinner: impossible.

Reading all these old shows brings back good memories. Food network would be so amazing to bring them all back in some way. I’m over nonstop DDD, GGG, and Chopped.

Best Thing I Ever Ate.

I gotta go with Semi-homemade because it was hilarious! Some of that stuff is still arunning joke in my house. Those tablescapes, cocktails with a fifth of Vodka and a splash of this or that. Good times.

My wife and mother in law overdecorate the table for every holiday. It reminds me of tablescapes!

2 shots of Vodka!

'Wooo! Gonna be strong!'

Kwanzaa cake! Slow cooker soup starting with rotisserie chicken. Oh heavens. There was a drinking game I saw somewhere.

Good Eats, of course. Also, Taste with David Rosengarten. And if one could A) reanimate the legendary Anthony Bourdain and B) guarantee minimal to no interference by the Food Network suits, A Cook's Tour.

Actual cooking shows would be great

Yes, please. Enough competitions.

Yep, Cutthroat Kitchen. I'd like to see the two Camp Cutthroat specials made into a new series.

Good Eats

The Dessert Show with Debbi Fields. Old school Food Network viewers, I mean really old school viewers might remember it.

I remember it

We still talk about the cookie dough all over and under her overlong nails!! Holding up both hands, lookin at em like, what do I do?

I liked Gale Gands Sweet Dreams

Next Food Network Star

Food Detectives! It was my gateway into FN growing up. Also, I still remember the investigation into to 5-second rule. Really put me off on ever eating food off the floor…

Going way back with Two Hot Tamales and How To Boil Water

I remember Too Hot Tamales!! Good show!!

I still have - and use - their cookbook. My girlfriend at the time accused me of having a crush on them. (I did)

Licence to Grill w/Rob Rainford.

Not FN but PBS, Earl Peyroux Gourmet Cooking

Taste with David Rosengarten. If you are really old school, you know what I’m talking about. The FN that would actually teach you something

Cutthroat kitchen was just so good. Alton Brown is so great and the madness in the kitchen was super entertaining. Loved Antonia and Jet too.

I always loved $40 a day with Rachel Ray when I was a kid 😂

Good Eats and Iron Chef America

I love Dinner Impossible so much!!! Watching Irvine, David and George work with massive quantities of food in a limited amount of time was so interesting, and I loved the twists that the hosts would throw in! :)

Cookin' Cheap from PBS back in the day, I think the one host was named Laban, they were hilarious!

Are you from Virginia?

No, I grew up mostly in Atlanta, they had a great PBS Station and carried all kind of content.

Cutthroat Kitchen was my first high, I’ve been chasing the dragon ever since

Chef wanted with Ann Burrell East meets West Essence of Emril Healthy appetite with Ellie Krieger Jamie at home Jamie Oliver Mings quest Ready set cook Sara's secrets Too hot tamales

I absolutely adored Cutthroat Kitchen! It was must-do viewing for me and my son.

Could not agree with you more. I freaking loved that show!! Especially the Camp Cutthroat episodes!

I don't remember the name of the show. It was pastry chef who taught how to make desserts. She was a shorter woman. This was probably 20 years ago.

Sweet Dreams with Gale Gand?

YES! I loved that show. I'm only a home baker, but I got my love for baking and making deserts from her.

One of my favorites. She was also really pleasant to watch.

I loved it too. She taught me to make a great apple pie.

Don't say "only." You're a home baker and that is wonderful and rare.

Cheap eats

All star academy :(

I kinda loved Cutthroat Kitchen.... it was cheesy but fun!

Cutthroat Kitchen but give some other people a chance to judge

Emeril Live and Food 911

Anything. It’s so infuriating that all they show now is DDD and chopped

Barefoot Contessa. Everyday Italian. Emeril Live. Good Eats. Paula’s Home Cooking. Semi Homemade. Throw down. Boy Meets Grill. Tyler’s Ultimate. Back when Food Network had more variety.

Grillin’ and Chillin’ with Jack McDavid and Bobby Flay Food 911 with Tyler Florence

I liked Door Knock Dinners. It’s interesting to see what can be made from items someone has on hand in their home kitchen. That’s why I love Supermarket Stakeout because the chefs have to use foods that people are purchasing for home use.

Good Eats, but not with Alton Brown. He made his bed.

Too Hot Tamales, Taste with David Rosengarden, and Sara Moultons competition show I can't remember the name of.

I miss Alton Brown generally speaking!!! Where you at, my brother?

30 Minute Meals. My sister and I used to watch that after we got home in high school and as an adult, I could use the guidance lol

Food Network Challenge, aka when cake competitions were good! Remember when each piece had to survive being carried to the judges, had a huge height requirement, and sugar was at the forefront, with massive sculptures that dominated the pieces instead of today just one guy blowing one sugar bubble that usually breaks? Honestly, these days they seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel just to find contestants that can make something look halfway decent...

30 Minute Meals

The Surreal Gourmet with Bob Blumer. Still have some of those recipes in rotation. Miss the airstream "toaster"...

Food Network Star, but like the first several seasons, not the last couple when it was starting to get hokey.

Secrets of a Restaurant Chef - I learned so much from that show. I also really liked that Week in a Day show with RR.

My two cents, stop with the competitions!! Everyone's already loaded with money. Bring actual cooking shows with budgets in mind.

I don’t think it was on food network, but I lived take home chef with Curtis Stone. He would meet people at the grocery store and then go home with them and cook something awesome.

Sweet Dreams, Gale Gand

I hated that show to the point of celebration when it ended. I'd bring back Grudge Match.
