George (and all CH's) --
Yes, I caught the show as well, but wasn't quite as impressed (although some
of the recipes did look kind of nice). Two major things really sort of
burned me --
(1) Gordon Idiot referred to every fresh chile as a jalapeno and every
smoked chile as a chipotle. You would think that (based on previous Food TV
shows that have gotten a little closer with the nomenclature) they could at
least get the names of the chiles correct.
(2) The choice of chefs was pretty poor, I thought -- I didn't find any of
these chefs to be extremely knowledgeable with respect to chiles. This is
inexcusable when there are a number of charismatic chefs who are, in fact,
CH experts -- I mention a few here: Rick Bayless, Chris Schlesinger, Mary
Sue Milliken, Susan Fenniger, Mark Miller, Stephen Pyles, and Dean Fearing
(even Sara Moulton would have been better than some of these folks, for
crying out loud).
I would like to hear from others about this....
George -- my prayers are with you and your wife.
Matt

Did anyone catch the "Follow that Food" episode last night on FoodTV?
Gordon Idiot, oops,
