Name your favorite cooking show!!

Thread Starter 
I am a fan of anything with Jacques Pepin.... I also think America's Test Kitchen is great but it's belief that it perfects everything is a little off putting. Any show with Mark Bittman I also enjoy. Gordon Ramsay is great as well and Heston's Blumenthal's In Search of Perfection is great but some of the stuff he recommends if a bit over the top for the regular home cook. This leads me to something I like to mention. On a whole, I think British cooking shows are better then American's. I don't like like the Food Network but there are some shows on there that are OK. I think a lot of the stuff is all sizzle and no steak.

Please let me know what cooking shows you like and why....

+1, that was a great show.

I've always liked Alton Brown's Good Eats.

original Japanese Iron Chef not a cooking show per se, but I love Diners Drive Ins and Dives since I'm not a foodie and could care less about gourmet dining

I like the Dinner Impossible (i think that is the name) show. When the chef has several hours to create a meal for 1,000 people.

Is No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain a cooking show for the purposes of your question? If so, it is my favorite by far. If not, I don't care what you say, it is still my favorite cooking show.

I love Top Chef

Anthony Bourdain's show is enjoyable, his brasserie restaurants in NY less so

I also like the fat bald guy on travel channel who has a show about traveling and eating "weird stuff"

He stepped down as chef of that place quite a while ago.
Also, his book Kitchen Confidential is excellent.
