Which TV chefs DON'T you like?

We can't like them all. There's obviously always going to be a few of them we can't stand personally.. So which ones rub you up the wrong way?

Off the top of my head, the absolute worst for me is Heston Blumentool. I honestly can't stand him or his novelty gimmick food. "Oh I can eat the cutlery as well as the food?" Yay...? :/

Also don't like bumpkin lithper "Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall" either.

Can't stand Delia's pretentious crap either tbh. She takes simple delicious traditional (mostly easy) recipes and makes them unnecessarily complicated.

Not a big fan of Nigella too... She isn't sexy. She's middle-aged, a bit fugly, & overweight. Her food is in the same league as Delia (at best).

I used to really not like Heston feeling it was all a bit of a gimmick, but the more i see him on other programmes the more i like him, he always seems to come across really well.

He was challenged with improving in-flight meals. His solution? Nasal Douches.

Says it all really.

Complete plank.

That's every chef I've ever worked with.

and the ambiance that goes along with it.

TBH, as a chef I couldn't give a toss about 'ambience'.

Ambience is created by scenery, music, lighting and decor. Not food. Hence it's more a restaurant managers job to care about this kind of thing than a chefs.

Personally all I care about is the presentation of the dish, and taste.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the importance of ambience to diners, but creating that ambience certainly isn't a chefs job, typically.
