What annoys you? This is what annoys me:
1. When the cook talks directly over the food (Emeril does this a lot)
2. When the cook licks their hands/fingers and uses that same hand to serve or touch the food (Paula Deen does this).
3. When they're making something like porridge or mashed potatoes and they're all, "Doesn't that look good?" Mushy food is NEVER going to look good. It may taste and smell good, but let's be real, cake batter hardly looks appealing.
4. When they just HAVE to say, "Here comes the fun part" when adding liquor to anything. If you're over 21, the "kewlness" of liquor is old. Stop being stupid.
5. When they're making say, roast chicken, and all they put on it is some olive oil and salt. Umm...maybe it's the West Indian in me, but what happened to the REAL seasoning??
6. When they're making food for kids and they're like, "This recipe is a great way to sneak vegetables into your kids", as if kids are complete morons. You can put a smiley face on Brussels sprouts if you want to; it's still a vegetable. And no, adding spinach to a fruit smoothie will not hide that fact that it's still spinach in there.
7. When they're making steak and the meat is so rare that it's practicall still mooing. I'm all for people liking their meat cooked differently, but I find it odd that nearly EVERY TV cook just happens to like their meat rare.
