When I would work the grill or sauté one I would only use my respond. My response time would be impeccably for the right moments.

They are not smiling inside.

No longer are Americans waiting on the Super Bowl or the World Series to stir their competitive juices; Kitchen Stadium offers sports drama that they can really sink their teeth into...literally. Or maybe they like "Beakman's World" revisited in Alton Brown's "Good Eats." Those with a taste for the truly exotic may prefer Tony Bourdain's "A Cook's Tour." And those who prefer good ole southern flavors will not want to miss "Paula's Home Cooking" or "Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee." The ubiquitous reality shows of this century must share the screen with shows like "30 Minute Meals" and "Emeril Live."…
