Bitchin' Kitchen

[Warpy]

I've just stumbled onto this program on the Cooking Channel the past two Saturday nights, and it's hands down the best cooking show on TV. The cook is listed as Nadia G. and she's a total hoot, a real pleasure to watch. Tonight is "recession recipes," and her stuff is really spot on, roasted root vegetables and all. Along with the comedy and the recipes, she's giving good nutritional and other theory.

Gotta love the green nail polish and green spike heels, too.

I would suggest everybody give this wonderful broad a chance.

Saturday night, 11PM EDT.

1. That sounds like fun!

I missed it tonight, but I'll probably be able to catch it during the week. Bitchin' Kitchen. Wish I'd thought of that! Thanks, Warpy. :hi:

2. She's got a lot of stuff on You Tube

Apparently, it's an older series, started on Food Network before they got such a bad case of chefitis.

"I'll never drink that again" is especially worthwhile.

3. She has tremendous energy.

I searched the "never drink again..." line but the video didn't come up so I watched her chicken soup segment. I agree with you re: chefitis on Food Network, it's not nearly as much fun as it used to be. This one, though, very entertaining! Thanks for the tip.

12. I think she couldn't be more

phony or fucking annoying. :eyes:

6. I've been watching Nadia G since it first came on.

I love it and can't wait to try the Pasta Puttanesca this week!

[Warpy]

7. She's WONDERFUL and her stuff is all accessible

None of that 50 ingredient crapola that tortures good food beyond all recognition.

I'm a fan. Really.

8. I must be the outlier.

I watched part of one episode earlier this month and had to turn it off. I found her shtick distracting and annoying. I just don't have enough punk in me, I guess. I would like to see one episode of that other show Two Rude Food Dudes, which is described as: A punk rock culinary show as a Never Never Land, where adolescence, beer, jalapenos and DIY rule. I don't think that's airing now, though.

9. I figure I am just too old to appreciate most of her act

But I couldn't watch more than a few minutes.

[Warpy]

10. I'm older'n dirt

and while it was a little off putting in the first couple of minutes, I started to realize where she's really at and appreciate her.

I think you have to be a hard core urbanite to get it.

[csziggy]

11. Urbanite is definitely not a description for me!

That would explain it. I live on a farm and visit municipalities as seldom as possible. Cities, even less.

15. Shiksa's passover special!

:rofl: Love her shtick- very funny.

[hippywife]

13. Looks like they're trying desperately

to reach any and all demographics that they can. The "try to hard" is showing.

I couldn't even watch two minutes of her horrible schtick.

:hi:

[pengillian101]

16. Me neither.

"I couldn't even watch two minutes of her horrible schtick." I made it through 5 minutes, I think.

Gangsta rap chick - No Thanks!

17. Sounds great

Might be one of the few reasons I would want TV..Cooking shows!

18. I watched the end of a Food Jammers episode about cheese

And will try to catch their show again.

But I'm most grateful to the FC for The Two Fat Ladies reruns.
