Why are most of the chefs on Food Network?!
Answers: attractive women in skimpy clothes? I don't have anything against attractive women in skimpy clothes, but I can't believe that these are the only good chefs in the world that want to have shows. The one woman I cannot even watch because she always has her boobs hanging out - who wants to see that? It's not just men that watch cooking shows. At least Rachael Ray typically dresses pretty conservatively. But I guess since she's gaining weight, that may be a problem for them. I heard that Emeril's show is being cancelled - I've seen him maybe once on FN - it's all women anymore. I did see one heavyset middle-aged woman chef a couple of times, but it seems to be mainly skinny women with tight outfits. It didn't used to be this way at all, but it seems lately, image is becoming a huge thing in cooking. They need a hot black dude on there cooking stuff up - I'd be watching a lot more if that happened!
Sex sells, even if it is in the kitchen!
they should have hot guys with skimpy clothes
What about Bobby Flay, Mario Vatalli (sp?), Alton Brown??? I see them on Food Network all the time!!
One word: Ratings.
Im a black guy, I can cook, lol.
its so sad.but in our world sex sells.it grosses me out too.lol
hmm so Jamie Oliver isn't on anymore? to Tony Bodega? Bobby Flay is an Iron Chef right? Well Alton Brown's not much of a looker so I guess it's best for him to keep his close on.
Sex still sells, add food to that and you've got an audience of college men watching food network and that's rating points!!!
I agree. and i've noticed that too. but for a lot of advertising and tv shows they use 'hot' woman in tight clothes to attract people. but i don't think they realize that it's not just men that see these. It's stupid. But i guess they don't want some ugly person on TV because they think no one will watch it.. not saying I agree with that.
there's the show on the food network called like - Fire up the grill or something, i has like 3 different chefs on it and they're all male and there's a black guy on it.. also there's jamie oliver and quite afew other males on the food network
haha my fav Male chefs are emeril & bobby flay
& female martha stewert and rachel ray : )
I think you're getting a little worked up about this.. the only two "attractive women in skimpy clothing" on the food network are Sandra Lee and Giada... and Giada isn't all that bad. I consider some of the things that Sandra Lee wear are a little on the skimpy side.. but lets face it, sex sells.
Otherwise, there are about an even number of male and female hosted shows... well, more men, actually.
Food network is about cooking. It's about as wholesome as it gets. I have never heard anything close to a swear word used, and lets think about this logically... why WOULD they wear really skimpy outfits.. they're COOKING for godssakes.. they can get burned!
Chill out, hun.

I watch the Food Network all the time and have never once seen a woman with her boobs hanging out and dressed in skimpy clothes. What are you talking about???
I can only think of 2 pretty woman who are younger and they definitely aren't what I consider skimpy. If you actually payed attention to their shows then you would see that they both have distinct styles of cooking and they both light up the screen making them enjoyable to watch. And they do cook things different from the other chefs that look delicious and home cooks are capable of duplicating so they're shows do have a purpose. But if you actually payed attention to the Food Network at all you would also see Paula Deen, Ina Garten, Robin Miller, Bobby Flay, Bobby and Jamie Deen, Alton Brown, Mario Batali, Emeril Lagasse, Michael Chiarello, and Robert Irvine. I could go on.
what about robert irvine...i believe robert is his first name.. he's good and that ollver guy and bobby flay, that gay couple too r on but rarely do i c them
there are a ton of guys on FN. Bobby Flay, Mario Batali, Alton Brown to name a few...and they are coming out with new shows with guys too. But then again, I also don't watch the channel religiously. I only watch what appeals to me.
Well, you've heard: You don't eat with your mouth only!!!!
I haven't seen that at all. What about Paula Deen and the Barefoot Contessa?
i watch FN all the time. there ain't no hotties on there. who are you talking about?
sorry, watch the programs for the food/recipes, not for what the people are wearing. If I need fashion advise I will watch TLC what not to wear. I could honestly care less what the people are wearing. Not to mention there are quite a few men on food network anyways: Alton Brown (geeky nerdy guy), Bobby Flay, Michael Chiarello, the hearty boys (flaming gay guys), Guy Fieri, Mario Batali, Dave Lieberman, Jamie Oliver, Tyler Florence. The boys actually out number the girls I think.
To me what the people where is a moot point. If they cook a good meal, why does it matter? Sandra Lee, Giada and rachael ray have never changed their look from day one. They are the only "overtly" sexy people on the network. So not really sure who all you are talking about here. And I believe Rachel Ray has lost weight if you look at her now on the Talk Show compared to say two or three years ago. before and after wedding she looks way better now.
