Sadly so many of the recipes are duplicated in his second series which I watched first as it was on first

Yup I'd spotted that too. Yesterday's episodes were dull, fish and vegetables nothing ground breaking there.

[keith157]

I quite agree, nothing groundbreaking. Bearing in mind this is the first of his "celebrity TV presenting" shows it's not too bad IMHO. I have flown my flag for SR but have also added the caveat that it does get progressively Janet & John. Hopefully he will come out with some of his more exciting stuff in later progs. Hey at his worst it's better than anything BBQ Sunday has produced apart from Unwrapped.

i think raichlen is boring he has no personality or pazzas, boby flay has a reasonable bbq show although the title eludes me at the moment, but licence to grill is great

Agree that Raichlen is a bit boring when presenting. However as a newbie I'm picking up the odd bit of help.

I tend to watch on x12 or x30 when it's veggies

Throwdown aired a few episodes a while ago which were okay, a bit like Iron Chef but in his own backyard (literally ). Sadly they aren't currently being shown on UK TV, as wnd when they are I'll watch them. What you have to bear in mind is the SR show IS aimed at getting people's minds out of the butger & dog menu planning. Yes it's simplistic, the puns are outrageous i.e. "use a church key style opener to 'foster' steam production...." whilst opening a huge tinnie of "amber nectar" to stuff inside a turkey. As well as the repeated procedural hints and warnings not only taking up time but becomming very boring....still he hasn't been sued for not telling not to start a chimney of charcoal on your decking...

Finally caught up on these yesterday, i know he is cheesey but i quite like him, especially they way pronounces "filet"

The Beef and Yorkshire pud was good, made me droll.

I will certainly be using some of his methods, good for us beginners.

if i hear that man say 'and freshly ground black pepper' one more time, i'm on the next flight out and will add freshly ground black pepper to his aesophagus.
still better watching than the apprentice or whatnot

He winds me up by continually insiting on calling the meat by it's full name. We get the fact its a seasond pork loin joint just say put the meat or put it on th spit. Watch primal grill for the country style pork ribs episode if he says it once he says it at least 15 times.....

I had the Sky+ box record these and gradually catching up over the last few nights.

Being fairly new to BBQ I can't say I have learnt anything outstanding but it has been very encourgaing and wants me to get out and BBQ which has got to be a good thing. Of the serveral hours I've watched they could definitely be condensed down a bit to a couple of hours.

But overall glad I took time to watch.
