Once I noticed it, I found that every time I'd surf past the Food Network and he was on, I'd listen for a minute and then want to scream!!!!<br /><br />He is MEGA-annoying...more than most of Food Network annoying chefs..Guy, Giada, Bobby, etc. And his show is more over-produced than most others...the cuts to closeups make my dizzy. <br /><br />Enough said?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27652180.post-49931415024443330012009-02-13T11:24:00.000-08:002009-02-13T11:24:00.000-08:00I own Eat This Book and found your post very funny...I own Eat This Book and found your post very funny.

The final number was...drumroll please...43. Yes, that is right. In a 30 mintute segment...well more like 20 when you subtract commercial time...he used the word "beautiful" 43 times!! But it doesn't end there. About 7 minutes into the show I began to notice the incessant use of the words "gorgeous" and "boom" as well. So I began to tally those up too! In the final portion of the show, the combination of those three words were spoken to the point that I had to take a Percocet for the headache I had developed. Now don't get me wrong: he seems to be a nice guy, and I've used his recipes on multiple occasions...but dear God! Food Network is also to blame.

"Okay" has been replaced with a heavily-emphasized "right", as in "RIGHT on top of the lettuce", "RIGHT in the pan", etc. Goofy. But, the reason I came in search of aaaaarrrgghh dispersal, and ended up here at your blog, was that he said he was "hooking up the egg yolks with the blender".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27652180.post-37403391498129872182008-06-16T14:35:00.000-07:002008-06-16T14:35:00.000-07:00It's a cookbook.

I've never written a cookbook, but I assume the priorities are something along the lines of (1) include useful and quality content (e.g., recipes, instruction, etc.) and (2) be entertaining. I think Tyler succeeds on these points. Plus his "personality" is very much the same in writing and on TV, which is important for people like him who want to "brand" themselves.<BR/><BR/>And I'm actually usually pretty hard-to-please when it comes to writing .. at least in contexts where it's reasonable to have such expectations.

I could care less of what he was creating because his FAT, yes FAT body as on TV and I knew he has truly, finally lost control. Dear God Man - get some help!
