Don't forget that Emeril is a VERY accomplished long-time professional chef who started in New Orlean's finest restaurants and is such a cut above the other Food Network (FN) chefs that he will most likely be better suited now for Fine Living Network (FLN). The FN has become more for the home cooks it seems and the "regular Joes and Joanns" have had more appeal to audiences lately than Emeril's high level recipes. Em and Rachael are both fine by me and it appears time for Emeril to now be in a different forum for his level of expertise. Congrats!

This is Tasty Travels with a different name. And Tasty Travels is pretty much a new version of $40 a Day (Which is no longer possible even with her 2% tip).

I'd rather watch Giada or Alton B.

I loathe this demon spawn.
Food Network dumps Emeril Live and gives this troll another show? Are they trying to look like they don't really care about food and cooking? I wish they would stick with people who actually know how to cook.

Once again, let's queue the Rachael Ray and Food TV haters.

Rick, your point about cooking is rather ignorant considering this is how Emeril Live goes...

And now for a "little" garlic...

*Crowd goes wide for 5 minutes*

While she's not quite as tasty she used to be, I'd watch a show where all she does is paint her toes. Now that I think about it, it wouldn't have to be Rachael, but pretty much any hottie.

I think Ray is awesome, she knows how to get to her audience with food that's simple easy and delicious.. So may i add if your not a fast chopper, it takes more like 1 hour to cook your meals, haha.. But i love her and her recipes just the same!!!!!!!!!!! You don't have to be a chef to know how to hang in the kitchen... GO RAYYYYYYYY

I'm glad Emeril is off the air, maybe now they can find more room for someone we want to watch!!!!!!!!! He rarely cooked food i could cook at home, so i never watched him to begin with so BAMMMMMMMM.. I do wish him luck, he was a good cook

Rachael is every working man's dream girl. Hits the house and has a great meal on the table in 30 minutes. For even more fun you could help her cook it if you knew the difference in a knife and a spatula.

She's an organized professional cook, not a hoity-toity chef. For all you who don't like her, I think it's more jealousy than anything else. Good Luck to her, I hope she makes an insane amount of money and continues her career beyond Food Network.

Rachael Ray is THE CREEPIEST and the most annoying television personality there ever was. Her husband married her to get half of her fortune, and he's been caught numerous time paying hookers to urinate on him. Rachael Ray knows her husbands perversion, as she must have done it to him as well... sick people. They crushed that story quick, as the networks, etc. have too much money invested in her to let ANY negative publicity come out about her and her sicko husband. I can't stand to even look at her. I won't buy anything with her face on it, either. She creeps me out.

She can get in bed with me anytime !!!!!!

I actually stopped watching Rachael Ray a long time ago...Was it the streaked,lion's mane "do", "Mommy" (who probably lives off Rachael's success), husband John (whom she also supports, I'd guess), the word "sammie",the fact that she skipped school a lot while in high school, the fabled pit bulls, or her confession that she couldn't have a child because she is too busy? Anyway, she depresses me...No more Rachael!

Rachael Ray is overexposed. I'm tired of her --- I hate having life size cardboard cutouts of Ms. Ray leer at me in grocery stores. She is second only to Paula Deen, who should renew the "it's-shake-and-bake-and-I-helped" commercials with her drawl, y'all.

Thank-you Foodnetwork.....I couldn't stand another
" paperika " or " Do you see that ? " ....Emeril....you seem to forget that we are educated adults, not 5 years old.....I love the way Alton has a unique way of using peculiar things inventively, he is enlightening and fun to watch.....plus, unlike Emeril, he seems to understand that we can actually understand explanations the first time....we don't need to have them repeated ad nauseam,as Emeril thinks. He's a good person, but so annoying.

Why all the Rachel haters??? She has made it doing something she loves -- cooking. Can she help it about her husband??? Are you jealous? Someone must like her because she makes millions.

As for Emeril -- he never cooked anything I'd want to cook at home. His food just never looked real or appealing.

Rachael Ray is amazing! She makes food people not only want to actually eat, but food NORMAL people can actually cook and obtain. She makes things you don't have to go to "special stores" to prepare for and make. Her creativity is incredible and she is successful because of it.

True, she may have a lot of exposure on Food Network, but all of the other exposure comes from the fact that she DESERVES it. She has a wonderful, cheery, bubbly personality and THAT is one of the main reasons idiots decide to hate her.

Personally, I say: GO RACHAEL!!!
(even the author agrees with me)

At least she does have talent to go with her "OVEREXPOSURE" unlike most people in the music biz right now. If you don't like her, don't watch.

I am quickly approaching Rachael "TV overload"...Dunkin Donuts and nearly every other endorsement imaginable. Do the viewers a favor...ease off a bit.

I Like her & she is bubbly.But she continues to rub her nose,play with her hair,push it back off her face,it is gross to me, she is handling food.
The way she talks over her guests is so very
rude, i have seen some of her guests give a
look of dismay. Yesterday was one of her worst days. She talked ove ( Tim Daly ) he
was offended, look at the show see his face
of shock, on 01/05/08
