| Alton is probably my favorite on FN. Having cooked for a long time, Alton is about the only host that actually teaches me new "tricks" and I crave new ideas and techniques.
I like that his face is NOT plastered all over consumer goods, the ones that he does promote (knives) are well thought out, and you know that he uses this product if his name is on it, some of the Rachel Ray (lower end cookware) is just plain cheap painted aluminum nonstick stuff, and Paula's cookware has gotten dismal reviews from users.
I am not arrogant enough to think that I know what is good for Food Network, there are hosts that I don't care for, but I am not the type of person to hate anyone that I have never met because their "real life" personality can be much different than their "on air" personality. There is a reason why they promote some hosts heavily because they bring in ratings, and that is how they attract advertisers and that is how we have Food Network.
