Copia, Food Network's West Coast HQ?
Kwanzaa cake, anyone?
Eater has word that the Food Network -- home to the world's only living genius, Sandra Lee -- might be looking for a West Coast office of operations. The gastronomic TV network, it seems, is "scoping out the Copia campus with the thought of turning the shuttered food and wine center into a West Coast studio." Which is great news. Local star chefs, like Joanne Weir, deserve a little Food Network spotlight attention, and this might just do the trick.

I never understood the appeal of a cable channel devoted solely to food, aimed at the housewife (or unemployed or aspiring chef -- sometimes the same person) demographic.
It's not like the viewer can eat or smell the stuff that's displayed on the screen, unless scientists have devised a Scratch & Sniff LCD display I haven't seen on the Geek-o-rama web blogs yet.
I can explain it. There is an audience that wants to learn more about food.
Oh, and Giada De Laurentiis is pretty.
I would not have learned to make a proper souffle without Food Network. You can't get technique from a cookbook, you have to see it in action. And I'm hardly a housewife/unemployed/aspiring chef.
Come and bring your jobs!
Yeah I dont know where they found that lady and her crazy nasty cake but i actually enjoy the foodnetwork from time to time as for ideas what to took. Their website is better, but they have a few quality shows and chefs, the best being Alton Brown's Good Eat which is like Physics, Chem, a little bit of Bio and cooking all mixed in.
Fine Living Network (a sibling channel to Food Network) is changing in 2010 to The Cooking Channel. Presumably, the "stand-and-stir" cooking shows will get moved there and Food Network will focus more on "lifestyle" food shows with Fake Knight Robert Irvine and Guy "Fieri" Ferry. One can only hope that a studio in Napa would bring some new and interesting shows to either of those networks.
If nobody else is going to say it, I will. Sandra Lee's breasts have visual magnets attached to them. And Giada's head is too big for her body. She looks like a human bobble head.
kwanzaa cakefarts anyone?
