Food Network is Starting to Suck

Chef Robert Irvine was fired.

I like this guy.  His show was actually kind of awesome.  I tried to catch it every Wednesday.  Sad thing is, when you lie on a resume, you get fired.  I have to agree with the article and say that Food Network should have demanded a public apology from him, slapped him on the wrist, and continued his show.  It was a hit and the guy is an ACTUAL CHEF (unlike fucking Ray-Tard).  I mean, Food Network has totally jumped on the "Let’s put every douchebag who wants to be famous on our channel" bandwagon.  This country has been scraping the bottom of the barrel for entertainment for quite a while, so why not let that one slide?  Just adjust the man’s bio and pretend like it never happened.  But really, this makes Food Network look really stupid.  When the man came to them with a resume that outstanding, why did they not check it out?  Aren’t you supposed to do follow-ups on resumes?  Did some dumbass look at the thing and just decide to hire him on the spot?  You HAVE to check references and make a few phone calls.  It’s part of being thorough and, oh I don’t know….SMART.  So they fired a very talented chef who actually had a good show going on…and they are fucking keeping Ray-Tard and her three shows.  Motherfuck.

So here’s my solution:  one of the only other shows I religiously watch on that channel is Barefoot Contessa.  I’ve tried many of her recipes and trust me when I say this woman DESERVES her own show.  So here’s my way of being a internet ass wipe. 

Dear Ina,

I love you and your show.  Your food is delicious and I deeply adore your style.  So what’s the deal with that loser you’re with?  I’m referring to Food Network.  How can someone of your caliber and style be on the same network as Rachel Ray?  I’m begging you, please move to another network so I don’t feel so dirty when I watch your show.  Food Network has joined the ranks of Fox and Bravo.  You are better than that.  I’ll follow you wherever you go…except Fox or Bravo. 

Sincerely,

An Interent Ass Wipe

    I have to tell you, and you are probably going to kill me, but the best two shows of the week come on Fox. American Idol…I can’t help it…I love it. And Hell’s Kitchen. Chef Ramsey, first is funny to watch, and secondly he calls people donkeys. This is the first season I have watched it, but I am addicted to it :)
