When I watch a show about great food, I want to see someone as enthusiastic about great food as I am. Anthony Bourdain, Andrew Zimmern, Adam Richmond. Josh Denny is NOT a foodie. He has very little interest in the food placed in front of him no matter how hard he pretends. Come on, who travels to find huge amazing treats to only take one dainty bite and give it away. While doing a show with Damaris Phillips (not sure if it was his show or not), I watched him eat a piece of fried chicken in a manner that can only be described as 16 year-old girl. Peeling off one delicate piece to put in his mouth while Damaris sank her teeth into her piece with gusto.
Bottom line: I think the host of a show should be enthusiastic about what he's presenting. This man is not a foodie. He is merely a reporter, going thru the motions for a paycheck. I'd rather they gave Andrew Zimmern another show than watch this closeted anorexic force food on himself.
