Trust me Mezz you don't want to do it. It's everything a cooking show shouldn't be. Plus those two are the worst hosts ever. And the recipes are not even tempting.

Their goal is to make dinner in 30 minutes. Did I mention they don't have much imagination.

Yawn

I know what you mean about Ken and Barbie, I don't watch their show, unless of course, I don't have a choice or am bored to tears and really have nothing else to do. Has anybody watched his other show, ken and company, how does he get away with a dog in the kitchen ?

Ken and Company - AKA ken without Barbie. Did they have a nasty break up? I kinda like the dog in the kitchen - best part of the show. - Rushed right out to buy his book - Hah!

Your Ken and Barbie analogy reminded me of Bobby Flay and Jacqui Malouf. You know those airhed co-hostesses are going to set back all the hard work of women cooks and chefs who've struggled to get the same amount of disrespect that male chefs have struggled to get in our society.

Bitter? table for one...? I think I hear my number being called.

Monpetitchoux, I agree with you. She's a cheerleader minus the pom-pons. Ken and Barbie: I've been introduced to the plastic version, but not the TV version!

The TV version would provide you a good laugh! Fun but far from the virtues of a really good cooking show...

So, anyone else watched Sizzlin Summer Chef
with Michael Lomonaco?

Here's a Barbie joke:

A guy walks into the Toys-R-Us toy shop and says to the assistant: "Could you please show me your Barbie dolls? My daughter's birthday is today and I have to get something she will love!"

She says, "Certainly, sir. Here, we have:

*Fashion Barbie @ $15.95
*Vacation Barbie @ $15.95
*Housewife Barbie @ $15.95 and
*Divorcee Barbie @ $215.95!"

The guy asks in astonishment,"Why is "Divorcee Barbie so much? She looks the same to me."

The assistant answers, "Well, sir, Divorcee Barbie comes complete with Ken's car, Ken's house, Ken's golf clubs, his season tickets to the Tribe and the Browns, his Gold MasterCard, his yacht and his summer home."
