When "East Meets West" was first on the Food Network, I couldn't watch it. Not because of the technique or his personality, but because he sounded exactly like my internist at the time, and it gave me the creeps.
I've watched a little of his stuff over the years, but I found that somehow I never found myself saying "I HAVE to try to make that at home someday."
