but I don't blame Fieri. I blame whomever is making the programming decisions at Food Network. They figured out that they would get more viewers with that sort of program.

I don't watch the Food Network too much. What nothers me as much, actually more, than the Food Network programming are reporters who don't tact check their writing. Fieri won the second season of the FN Star ccompetition, not the first.Fieri did a cooking show, Guy's Big Bite. Of the TV chefs listed, only Sara Moulton ever had her own show on FN.
