Television Feasts

I am a home cook who backyard gardens and has a serious closet addiction to the Food Network. I envision visiting the world in my own kitchen.

From Julia to Giada, I am a bi-product of the quirky world of anything food television. At age 10 I wanted to lunch with Julia; at 12 I thought sitting at Graham Kerr's table would be bliss; in college I was a diligent voyeur student of Jeff Smith's; and as a newlywed I envisioned myself being Martha. Then the sky opened up and violin music played in the background when I discovered an entire family of food shows on the blossoming food network. Twenty years later I am still a home chef with a backyard garden, yet in my head I am a trained chef who has eaten her way around the world, tasted all things exotic, competed in many challenges, judged the best of the best, and have a circle of friends which includes Emeril, Bobby, Rachael and more. I like to learn and challenge myself simply for the pleasure of all things food. I am a student of the University of Food Network and my textbooks, exams and extra-curricular activities all stem from channel 39.

Pittsburgh Steak Salad

Ok all yuns Yinzers, I spent another day outdoors and needed to pull a quick dinner together.  What better than a salad piled high with french fries? Yup, french fries.  I go on record as I stand behind the FACT that a steak salad including the fries originated in Pittsburgh.  Didjaeatyet,? If not sit your dupa down, pour yerself a pop or a yingiling, and chomp a bit on this silade.  So step aside all the knock offs, and take heed, there is nothing like the combination of a Picksburg silade.  And don ferget to red up, then enjoy a farkleberry pie and turn on dem stillers n'at!  And all yuns from ouda town, if ya aint askared to try sumpin new, add fries, meat and cheese to your salad!  All of the necessary food groups covered, check!
