The Food Network should change it's name to the Chopped Network.

Once upon a time TFN was interesting, featured actual cooking and you could learn something from watching it. Since the morons found that other morons will watch a contrived cooking contest, TFN has gone to hell.
RIP TFN.

It blows.
Just watched Steve Raichlen do a cherry smoked duck on PBS 3 Create.
Now I'm watching them clean and cook flightless ducks on Life Below Zero on National Geographic.
Can't watch anything but Diners Drive Inns and Dives on Food Network and that is not because I'm a fan of Guy Fierri.

Can we all just agree that Chopped Kids Edition is the worst thing ever?

I miss Alton Brown on Good Eats.
(Even though the show did almost make him suicidal.)

If he's not gay he missed a good opportunity.

I remember a decade or so ago being able to sit down on the couch and know that if I flipped to the history, food, or science channels, I could find something mildly entertaining and at least somewhat informative to watch.
Now I know I'll come into the middle of a reality TV show marathon.

I understand it in prime time, but I wish they would have a few time slots where they teach real cooking. Watching people cook single pot dishes in 30 minutes is not real cooking, it's what everyone does at home all the time. I want to learn how to cook stuff that looks beautiful that you can only get in 5 star restaurants. I want to learn techniques. I have a recording on my DVR of Peppin deboning a chicken that was on lpb a few years ago, that was a real cooking class. You never see stuff like that on the food network.

Jacque Pepin is on every night on Create. Watched him make omelette' a couple hours ago.
And this is the best deboning ever. No need for ever. I use it all the time.

Yep. It was the first channel I saw in HD many years ago. I don't even click on it anymore. Shame.

No idea. I have Cox cable. It is PBS 3 channel 123 in Baton Rouge. Has some good cooking shows. A few clunkers but they rotate every few months.

I would settle for an Iron Chef contest every now and then versus all this crap competitions they have now. At least Alton would break down what they were doing and why.
I'll take it a step farther. I wish when I look up recipes on the Food Network from the likes of Bobby Flay that I did not have to go to Indo China and the Amazon Jungle to find all the ingredients.
That network needs some serious competition.

Yall should check to see if your package has the Cooking Channel. Owned by same company as Food Network and has most of what you guys are looking for, including Good Eats.

I imagine that it's almost more frustrating for them to have to do Chopped style shows rather than them actually having a proper cooking show themselves.

It's the evolution of every cable channel. It starts as a specialty like Food, History, National Geographic, MTV, etc. Fans of the topic are pleased and watch.
Slowly but surely the channel morphs into nothing but fake-drama "reality" shows and contrived competitions.
Fans of the topic tend to hate the change, but those shows are cheap to make, and apparently there are enough mouth breathing idiots who enjoy them that it makes financial sense.
The idiocracy is here folks.
