3. I like his show very much
Particularly the Physics, Chemistry and History he interjects in the show.

However, now that I'm trying to lose weight, the Food Network is verboten.......

5. Alton rules!
His show is great, and Alton is practically the only reason I watch "Iron Chef America."

15. Hi BigWill!
I think he's interesting, in a hyper kind of way,
but he does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for me in the
LOVE department. No turn on whatsoever.
But my sister-in-law finds him hot....

Different strokes!

Are you redecorating for the visit from
Mrs. Grumpy and I when you boot Lieberman's
bony butt out of Washington?

16. Not in my book! I think he's VERY sexy and I don't usually
like blonds! I do, however, like smart guys who can cook. YUM!

7. I had to choose "other"
because your choices are not mutually exclusive.

I watch his show every chance I get, but I don't get many chances as I am currently without cable.

17. He really won me over when he explained why he was hosting Iron Chef --
He said something to the effect that if the cooking methods involved wood shavings and a blowtorch, he might stand a chance against the competing professionals. Gotta love a good sense of self-deprecating humor.

18. I love Alton...
He's hilarious and I love his science experiments...And I don't like Giada. I don't trust a female chef with no meat on her bones. If she won't eat her own food, then I don't trust her. Rachel Ray makes weird shit. I like Sarah and Paula. And Emeril. Sure, Alton isn't fluffy, but he's at least a real person.

21. Best of the current crop
I enjoy his process that is more about why than how. I like his background. He was involved in TV producing and decided he wanted to do a cooking show that was entertaining. So he spent a few years at cooking schools learning how to cook and then went to work creating an intelligent show.

Can't say he is sexy but I do like his "W".
