Chefography

Food Network provides me with a shameful amount of mindless entertainment. The level of discretion used when deciding whether or not to watch whatever program comes on is extremely minimal. In fact, when a crappy program comes on and dismay is expressed, no effort is made to get away from the program. Such is the power of delicious food on the television. Eating while watching is basically as perfect as life gets.

So with the network on its second "season" I guess of its "Chefography" shows, little is going to get me more excited this week. It's basically the old "Behind the Music" show except instead of a band's history, it is one of the numerous food network chefs/personalities that gets the one-hour bio treatment. It's so great - from learning about Bobby Flay's tough beginnings on the upper east-side of Manhattan, to marveling at how tremendously ugly all of Rachael Ray's friends are.

All this week at 10pm people. Tell your tivo you can't live without it.
