I voted for Iron Chef America. It is hightly entertaining, and some of the foods created are great!

My wife and I have come to the conclusion however, that the "mystery" ingredient is only a mystery to the viewers. Many times the chefs have foods available that would simply not be available if not needed. Nonetheless, there is definatly some goofball menu items.

I would also like to protest 2 entries in the poll. The "Dinner Impossible" chef was FIRED from food network due to his lying about his past chef credits. Among other lies, he said that he had designed the cake for Princess Diana's wedding cake!

Here is a link of his demise: http://www.showbizspy.com/2008/02/29...-food-network/

He should be removed from the poll, and in it's place "Bobby Flay's Throwdown". No matter who wins the match, Bobby takes care to showcase the talents of the "average" cook, and never acts as though he is the star. Very low key, and actually seems to enjoy the act of cooking, rather than beating the underdog.

I am also protesting Emeril as an entry. He has also been removed for the Food Network schedule except for re-runs. He has not picked up another network. I see him as rather self-important loudmouth who does little to interest people to actually try and cook some of his entries. I've never been a fan of his, and his dwindling market share in the cooking arena backs it up.

I don't care who you replace him with, but that 2-bit has been needs to be pulled!
