Food TV

I don’t understand why, but for the last month or so, I have been feeling uninspired. I watch my shows on the Food network every day. I have become newly addicted to Diners, Drive-In’s and Dives. I watched every chocolate show there was before Valentine’s Day. I even started a couple of blogs, I just couldn’t seem to finish them. For that, I would like to say, I’m sorry. Honestly, I haven’t even watched the Ultimate Recipe Showdown which I really wanted to see. There has been a lot of stuff going on in my life, and that has caused my prolonged absence. It is working out a little more every day though, and so I will be writing more often.

I attempted to set out a schedule for myself, so that I would know what I would be writing every day. That has backfired, because on the couple times I have felt I had something I wanted to write about, I have decided to hold it off for “the proper day” and then forgot about it before that day came. So I am throwing that system out. From now on, it will be what I feel like writing about, as soon as I am able to write.

That being said, on to an actual blog.

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m not a huge fan of Guy Fieri’s actual cooking show. Guy’s Big Bite doesn’t quite strike me as the same caliber as other cooking shows on the network. I think it’s the set up of the kitchen that bothers me, but honestly, I’m not sure.

His other show, however, I love!!!!! I can’t get enough of Diners, Drive In’s & Dives. I like how each show has a theme, and how Guy actually goes into these kitchens and learns to cook what they are making. He eats some of EVERYTHING, and always compliments the cooks and chefs.

The other day there was an episode featuring “unique foods”. I think this was my favorite episode so far. There were foods featured that I would never eat, but the show made them seem very appealing to me. Everything from fried clam with bellies to gizzards. The best thing, I think, about the episode was that he made sure to showcase the “regular” food as well as whatever “unique” item that particular restaurant featured. So, for example, the clam belly place also had amazing looking fish and chips. Things like that. I really like Guy’s personality in this show, he is outgoing and funny. I personally think that he works a lot better with people, rather than all by himself.

P.S. I’m now writing another blog, over at the Hogwarts Herald. Go check it out!!!
