My girlfriend has introduced me to some cooking shows and I actually don't hate them. I really enjoy a show on Food Network called "Chopped". Four chefs are presented with a mystery basket of ingredients, all of which include an oddball ingredient they must use. Three rounds (Appetizer, Entree, Dessert) which include their own baskets. After every round one chef with the worst meal is "Chopped".
Also just finished watching Season 5 of Entourage. I can't wait for the new season to begin. Jeremy Piven's character steals the show.
