I followed PW avidly for awhile, but lost interest when she started posting as much about her book tours, etc. as the ranch, plus she became awfully repetitive.


Kinda like CK?

I snuck off for lunch today at Rosati's Pizza about 2:00 CST and there she was on the tube behind the bar having a "throw down" with Bobby Flay. There was no volume but they seemed to be having fun.

I agree with those that have a hard time watching The PW show. Something about her presentation. I did like her blog, but her TV persona just doesn't convey the same energy that her writings did.

I am in the camp of those who don't watch the FN anymore except forChopped occasionally and The Next Iron Chef. Generally I find that the FN has very little to do with cooking. Some of the programs on the Cooking Channel I think are instructive but they are starting to slide down the entertainment slope.
With regard to celebrity chefs that I don't enjoy watching ( including the PW), I just don't watch, but someone does like them which is why they are still on the air and are considered celebrity chefs. I have an off button, a channel changer and a life that doesn't include worship of celebrity.

snip.... Plus the narration on so many blogs these days is so silly it makes me want to hurl. And hers is definitely one of the worst when it comes to that. Just give me the recipes! I can take a little bit of storytelling (like on Tracey's Culinary Adventures, Brown Eyed Baker), but so much of it elsewhere is seriously over-the-top.
...snip;)

I too really like Brown Eyed Baker....will have to look at Tracey's CA. Just what I need, another blog to follow. ;-)

And Phoenix, I get what you say, to me everytime Ree speaks I think "that's not how you sounded in my head." lol

Frank,

I don't have cable either.

Mind you, I do have Amazon and Hulu.

When PW first started her blog I followed it. But after I learned more about her family, the more I felt her story rang hollow. This was confirmed when I saw what they were doing to the "old family place." It felt like she was just another rich bored housewife pretending to be like us "regular folk." I could be wrong about that, but that's the sense I got after following her blog for a while. Plus I was never wowed by her recipes.
