Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I was pretty excited this week at the
prospect of watching Food Network's new show, Ham on the Street. In the last
year, I've become more and more disenchanted by the the Food Network's programming, new branding, and new celebrity
"chef" hosts, particularly with the news that personal favorites of mine would not be returning (and I swear
it has nothing to do with the fact that we share the same name).
But Ham on the Street promised to be sarcastic, a little irreverent, and I was hoping that it might be funny they way Tony Bourdain is funny to me.
It wasn't funny. Not even close. I swear I wanted to change the channel at 10:34 PM, but i made myself watch the whole thing.
George Duran used to be a comic, but he's not very funny. In fact, Duran's a wee bit dull. Is it just me? Anyone? Or maybe I was the only one watching the show last night anyway. The topic of choice, breakfast, had so much potential, and even each individual "segment" could have been done well, but it wasn't. And it wasnt even very educational. Okay, scratch that. At least I learned how to make a version of pain au chocolat. It just felt like an almost-funny comedian doing a combination of the worst parts of "Unwrapped" and "The Secret Life of..."
And at least Jim O' Connor of "The Secret Life of..." is cute.

I'll try and catch it again to see if maybe part of the problem was first show jitters, but I don't anticipate the show being able to hold my attention much further.
