Maybe he had too much on his plate with the "multiple shows" and just stressed out!

Or maybe he's just not particularly original or entertaining.

I didn't watch him too much, okay. Maybe they want to introduce someone new, could be exciting smileys/smile.gif

I guess they want a new face smileys/frown.gif

Or maybe not: Serious Eats sez differently

I've always thought he had an attitude....which I did not like

I really grew bored with all the pasta dishes, and the show did not hold my interest enough to want to watch him every week or day. I can't stand Iron Chef so never watch it.

I agree with you about his attitude-very pompous-I never liked him or his recipes and I love pasta.

Can't stand Iron Chef either.
As far as I'm concerned, the Food Network offers nothing at this point - they're more into tacky entertainment than good cooking/baking.

 

[scott-in-scottsdale]

From the very beginning, I thought he had less charisma than a slice of white bread >>>>

and Meryl, I agree with you about the
Food Network.

They sort of went the same route as MTV.
Even though it's still MusicTV, you almost
never get music anymore.

Ha - great description! And don't get me started on MTV - Ugh.
