I would watch him. I think he will relax some and if his show had a live audience he would really shine. I wonder if the network would take a chance that people want to get back to cooking on their cooking network. O don't need any more shows that tell me how to shortcut recipes, I know how to do that. i have been using Paula's cooking style for years now, half of my recipes I was using as long as she has, I want to have the Chefs back, I can monkey around with ground meat and know how to get a meal on in less than an hour (No way I can cook in 30 minutes, I don;t have elves to clean up after me) This network is beginning to send me back to public TV cooking shows
I won't watch her. I find her as interesting as grass growing. She is comfortable in front of the camera but I am not sure that she is really going to have an asian cooking show. I keep remembering the various renditions of Angel cake and pudding.
Thats how I feel about Jefferey, its just the same thing over and over. I liked him at first but now its like one big yawn to watch him.
I agree that we need an Asian cooking show, I just am not sure that she is planning that. I think I remember that she is not necessarily trained in Asian cooking, something from teh first episode. This old gal's memory is not what it used to be but I remember something there.
I thought Debbie's whole thing was to combine southern cooking with an asian flare. I could be remembering wrong too, or mixing her up with a couple other contestants, I honestly can't remember what everyone's POV is
ETA I just looked her up on the website and this is from her bio:
Debbie, 39 (West Hollywood, Calif.), a former Hollywood caterer, now shares her branding and menu-planning expertise as a restaurant consultant. Her Korean heritage and Southern upbringing make a dynamic combination as she uniquely blends Asian and American cuisines. Debbie attributes her cooking chops to her mother, grandmother and notable chefs that she's worked with.
Food specialty: Korean with a Soulful Edge
never mind that when I was growing up, soy sauce made it Chinese.
