You know why
Rachael Ray is smiling all the time? She's the richest food star in the world. According to the latest
Forbes list of top-earning celebrity chefs, Rachael Ray leads the pack. In fact, of the top 10 names, all but two are TV stars.
Therefore, you better believe that all that exposure on Food Network, Bravo, Travel Channel, Fine Living, BBC America, and Fox -- not to mention syndication and appearances on talk shows and demonstrations on the
Today Show -- makes a big difference.

The Food Network is one of my favorite channels, I admit it. I can tune in just about anytime and enjoy
Ace of Cakes or
Good Eats or
Boy Meets Grill or Paula Deen, whatever. Generally speaking, they seem to have a good, consistent and enjoyable programming package.
Okay, that's what's good about FN. Now for the sour to go with the sweet. Last night I was catching up with
The Next Food Network Star, watching the second showing of the reality competition show because I wasn't able to watch the original broadcast. No big deal, right? Wrong!

Move over, Rachael Ray! Another Food Network bird is straying for the nest to try her wings in syndication. Southern diva
Paula Deen is readying a daytime cooking show for syndication in 2009. She also following Rachael's lead by not giving up her secure and lucrative connection to Food Network. Her
Paula's Home Cooking and
Paula's Party programs will remain Food Network staples.
The challenge for Paula will be coming up with a show that's not simply an echo of her other two shows. Unlike Rachael, who does a full-fledged talk show with a cooking segment, Paula's new effort is being called a "cooking" show. That could be limiting.

TV Squad reader, Steve, likes to cook with celebrity chefs. He says watching a recipe on television is "easier to understand than just reading in a cookbook." And, if you ask me, he probably likes the friendly company of Emeril, Rachael Ray and Paula Deen. But, recording cooking shows on VHS is a pain. To find his favorite pizza recipe, Steve would have to search through the tape. He asks TV Squad: Are there any DVDs/CDROMs of celebrity cooking shows?
Yes and no, Steve. There are, but I found surprisingly few.

Inspired by
this article, I decided to make a list of my top five
favorite Food Network shows. None of that silly
Top Chef or
Celebrity Cooking Showdown nonsense. Just
straight-up Food Network.
1)
30 Minute Meals with Rachael Ray: Okay okay, Rachael Ray is incredibly
annoying. Her voice is always raspy, she always finds a reason to giggle, she constantly says "Yum-O!", and
she firmly believes that "EVOO" takes less time to say than "extra-virgin olive oil". But, I've got
to admit... those
Cordon Bleu
burgers were pretty damn good. Really, I have tried out several of her recipes without
any problems,
taste-wise or time-wise (always under 30 minutes!). Granted, I don't sample all of her recipes, but the ones that I've
made so far have been fantastic. Once I got over her excessive enthusiasm and too-bubbly personality and gave the
actual food a try, I was able to enjoy the show a lot more. Maybe you anti-Rachael people should give her recipes a go
instead of just complaining about her oddly-shaped body (eh, I'm not gonna lie... It didn't make a great
FHM spread, even after the extreme
airbrushing).

If you're not watching the Super Bowl
today, you don't have to go out and, like, do something outdoors. You can still veg out in front of the television with
a beer and some chips. Here are the five stand-out options for your television viewing pleasure:
5.
TBS: Yes, Dear marathon. It seems like an odd choice of show to be watching all day long, but TBS
thinks somebody will be interested. Sixteen episodes of
Yes, Dear begin at 7 pm ET.

It's not as well-known as some of the other shows on the Food Network, but lately
I've been finding myself drawn to
Paula's Home Cooking with Paula Deen. Rachel Ray and Emeril each have their
shtick, but Paula's show reminds me of the old cooking shows on PBS when the host wasn't so much a
"celebrity" as they were a"chef with a camera pointing at them." In other words, their inexperience
in front of the camera would sometimes show, which simply meant they spent more time perfecting their craft than trying
to put on a big show. Paula Deen is not a natural in front of the camera, but she can't hide her genuine Southern
charm. Actually, she suffered from agoraphobia for twenty years of her life, so the fact that she's in front of the
camera at all is impressive. Perhaps it's more of a show for old folks who used to get excited about watching
The
Victory Garden, but I don't think TV always has to grab me by the lapels and shake me around. I enjoy those quiet
moments sometimes, too.
