Here's the post I started back in November about what we'd like to see on FN.

They are using the pet food suggestion with RR.

Let's see if we get the other shows we suggested!:1:

I mentioned in another thread about Emeril that I would like to see him do a show where his audience is small and seated in a restaurant setting where they could see back into an open kitchen. Have menus for the people to pick what they want , just like you would if you went out to dinner, then show how the dish is prepared. Emeril could have several chefs preparing as he moves from one meal to another and explains what they do and how you can do it at home.

I would like to see first a show about plating food since we eat as much with our eyes as we do with the smell and taste. Second a show that show cased real chefs cooking in real restaurants say in regional areas, like New Orleans, Houston, New York, cities that would show case the areas like somewhere in New Hampshire, Upper Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Washington, and ect ect ect but actually show how to cook not just throwing it on a plate and say it should look like this. Thirdly, I like Alton, we need to keep the science of cooking alive. Then we need a comparison on kitchen appliances which is the best and why stuff like that. We need a basic cooking on how to boil water yes there are still people who need that. We could use maybe some shows about the culture and history of areas where did their food dishes come from and why. Just some of the stuff I would love to see,

How about a copy cat recipe show? Let people write in to request a recipe for a dish they would like to be able to duplicate at home. I wonder if they would have that "branding" issue with that though? I would want them to say what exactly it was they were duplicating and not just say "today we are making a Santa fe salad like you would get at your local restaurant" I would want it to be "today we are going to duplicate Applebee's Santa Fe Salad".

That would be fun.

I was thinking of the same idea yesterday!!

Although, it would be people writing in asking them to make their recipe, or an old family favorite.

They could call it , "What's For Dinner?"

We don't need 50 kinds of balsamic vinegar I suggest to management to no avail. In the end I made something else as neither of my other two grocery chains had any rice wine vinegar either. It was easy to find in the much smaller store back home. Things like that drive me batty.

I've been looking for champagne vinegar for the last couple of years and can't find it anywhere, not even in the exclusive boo-teeks, LOL. Not that I think substituting white wine vinegar would make much of a diff. I refuse to order it online cause, with my luck, I'd receive a package with the bottle broken and I'm too old and too tired to have to deal with that. Anyway, it's kinda become a game with me now.

Even though a lot of people are into gourmet cooking today, I enjoy the shows that have plain ol' home cookin'. And by that I don't mean anything seen on Miss Sandy's shows. I'm talking about dishes that are made with fresh ingredients but don't have a foot-long list of ingredients, hard-to-find items or technical cooking processes. I don't mind making a time-consuming dish every now and then but I have too many other things to do. I get annoyed that some of the hosts seem to turn up their noses at this type of cooking. They're coming across as food snobs.

The thing I would like to see less of are the food challenge shows. Enuf is enuf.

They should, but why would they? They are getting all this great information for free by reading our posts.

The best compliment is when we see our ideas on FN...guess we should be happy about it, right?
