You just want to throw your arms around him and give him a big hug. There's an episode where he's working with scorpion fish (I think) and he says he's not at a disadvantage cooking seafood even though he's from Sichuan and his nickname is "Beachboy Chen".

I don't really like Giada just because she wears three inch acrylic nails while she's mixing meatloaf by hand and I find that really, really disturbing. I'm not that thrilled with Mario either- I think he's a bit pedantic. Can't stand Rachael Ray or Emeril either. She reminds me of the cheerleader who was always trying to get me to smile more in high school and he's just an attention whore.

I like Masaharu Morimoto on the Iron Chef. I can take or leave Bobby Flay. I like the Barefoot Contessa and Paula Dean. I think that's about it though.
