Veggies and Vegans UNITE!! Let's take over the Food Network!!!
Okay, so I'm working on this project....However, I've just found a hiccup:
SHOW IDEAS
1. I have an idea for a new Food Network Show. Where Should I send it?
Food Network appreciates your interest in suggesting ideas, but we accept series and specials proposals only from television production companies with national or major market production credentials. If you are a production company, please send us your credentials and a history of your production experience only. After reviewing them, Food Network will determine whether or not to send you a release form with a request for further information.
Do not send any pitch ideas or proposals at this time, as they will be returned unread.
Please send your company's credentials to:
Food Network
75 Ninth Avenue
NY NY 10011
attention: Submissions
It looks like the best way to do it is to just mass email all the chefs/cooks we want to do a show for us!!!
http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/tv/0,1974,FOOD_10011,00.html
So who do we want to do the show?
Should there be a form email, like other "causes" have?
It is a great idea Hanashi!
i wonder if the PPK has enough "cred" to suggest doing a vegan show? how many cookbooks should one have under their vegan belt to get attention?
ooh I want Isa and Terry on the Food Network!!! I am not sure if it is their scene though. Rachel Ray is not Punk. At all . . . In fact Rachel Ray is so not punk she is the Anti-Punk.
but what annoyed me more is that on the page explaining all the different veggie diets, they use female pronouns for the whole thing. oh, right, because real men eat meat. barf.
Weird. Because I always thought that if a woman wants to get a man, she should order beef. Argh.
i looked at the foodnetwork veggie link. only 3 of the veggie recipes are vegan (big shock) and one even was like, chicken OR veggie stock. please.
and they're like...side dishes. Thanks for the tips, food network - how would I have gotten by? Pickled Red Onions and Cheese Souffles. Now I can add some variety to my lettuce and air diet.
I don't get why it's not there already. Veg*ns are the people doing all the cooking, it's not like there's a drive thru for me to waste my money at. I want a damn show to watch!
Tkitty, that may have been the best link ever
"Ordering meat, on the other hand, is a declarative statement, something along the lines of “I am woman, hear me chew.”
“Everyone wants to be the girl who drinks the beer and eats the steak and looks like Kate Hudson,” Ms. Crosley, 28, said."
There were so many funny things in that article I didn't know what to quote. . . so is eating meat a feminist statement, because if it is then why are you using it as a "strategy" to ensnare a husband?
Uggh, way to set women and vegetarians, and the whole concept of being yourself on a date back 50 years.
I have never had a problem meeting men, I am a damn good at billiards, and I make good soup, with no chicken stock, so Ha. :P

What? I couldn't hear you, I think you need to chew louder. :D

Ha! I loved how a person's dedication to vegetarianism is measured by his or her wardrobe. *still quietly chews on salad, not giving a shit about what the NYT or guys think of her eating habits*
Just add some nuts to your salad, then it will be louder. Ok, bad pun, sorry.
Brilliant!
yes, it is funny on so many levels . . .
Sorry Hanashi, we are so far off topic . . .

Oops. Every thread I post on turns pervy, I swear.
Maybe it is because all of the ladies here are repressed sexually, since we don't eat meat, and thus cannot find a man, at least a real man, who has wedding receptions in steakhouses. That has got to be the reason!
Yes! That must be it!
And who would want to have a wedding reception in a steakhouse? Even in my pregan days, a steakhouse was not the first setting to come to mind to celebrate... anything, really. Strange.
I don't know they are kind of romantic, all of that room temperature butter and serrated knives.

You know I love it when you talk dirty to me. Tell me about the rodeo.
Well, I do like it when my man can last for 8 seconds.
BP, unfortunately, it seems ANY suggestions to the Network itself, have to be made through a "reputable source".... So it seems the best way is to just barrage the shows that we want with requests. My favs are Alton Brown and Giadia De Laurentis (spl?).......I have a job interview tomorrow at a VERY non vegan restaurant (Round Table Pizza) who knows, I may be able to get the kitchen staff to not scoff at making a cheeseless Guinivere's Garden.... But will be on "vacation" (a.k.a. visiting family/helping family move...yay) for the following 13 days, so I may or may not be checking up on this thread!!! But DO try to stay on topic!!!!
