Top 10 food shows to watch on TV

I've posted a lot lately about great food finds that I've eaten or created but I've yet to credit the major place I get my inspiration from. Day and night I am addicted to watching food television, specifically for the reality genre, the endless food creations and access to ingredients they seem to have. Lately it appears that every station is jumping on the bandwagon to feature food lover's entertainment. You can find a food featured show on almost every network but my favorites belong to Food Network, Cooking Channel and Travel Channel.

 I'd like to share with you what gets my belly growling as I torture myself watching these tantalizing shows. In no particular order here is my list:


  1. Man v. Food: Adam Richman and guests eat supersized portions of a restaurant's challenge meal. Not that I could ever eat that much but it sure does look good.
  2. Diners Drive-ins and Dives: I've made it a goal to visit one of these featured places every time I visit somewhere new; so far I've been to 3.
  3. Guys Big Bites: I watch this mostly for Guy's fantastic outdoor kitchen.
  4. Worst Cooks: This show proves to me that I am a good cook.
  5. Next Food Network Star: This show inspires me to cook more.
  6. Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations: Anthony travels the world. He's real and raw.
  7. Chopped: When we watch chopped, I play games with my family to see what we would make given that basket. We even did our own "chopped" contest at home and picked items out for each other to cook, much less adventurous of course.
  8. 30 Minute Meals: Rachael Ray makes quick and easy family friendly meals on this show.
  9. Guy's Grocery Games: This is another one of Guy Fieri's shows, this time a contest to see who can shop for the best meal creations.
  10. Unwrapped 2.0: This is a spin off of previously aired Unwrapped. They breakdown how your favorite food treats are made giving you the real inside scoop.


I know all of these shows will surely inspire you to start cooking and eating more than you ever have before!

      It was so entertaining when Adam did all the challenges but I think he had to slow down because it was hurting his body.

      Yeah, I think he got pretty sick. Which kind of makes sense when you watch some of the episodes. That's a lot of food!

    For sure! I know he trained his body to eat all that food but it still can't be good to eat all that!

    No Reservations all the way! It's my absolute favorite food show. Not only do you get about the many different types of food in different places, but you get a feel for the local culture too.
