Soup IS Good Food
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A friend came down with his version of the season’s first cold last week, so I made a big pot of chicken soup (with turkey stock) and rushed it over to his house as a remedy.
Now, of course, I’m coming down with the same symptoms. I can make a pot of soup for myself, but what if — like my friend — you just don’t cook? Where do you go for a great bowl of heart-warming, soul-replenishing soup? Souper Jenny? Loaf n Kettle? Korean tofu soup? Where do you head to get rid of your head cold?

Bam! Food Network cancels “Emeril Live”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
When the Food Network moved “Emeril Live” from 8 p.m. to 7 p.m. earlier this year, that was a tipoff that the Louisiana chef was being kicked down a notch.
Now it’s official. The network has canceled “Emeril Live,” and production stops on Dec. 11. (New episodes will air in 2008 and you’ll still be able to catch reruns.) Emeril Lagasse will continue producing “Essence of Emeril” for the Food Network. (Read Emeril’s message to fans here.)
The change seems like a good time to talk about what it means to be a Food Network star. Emeril was its first, complete with a string of cookbooks, licensing deals and single-name status. Now there are many others: Rachel Ray, Paula Deen, Giada De Laurentiis, Alton Brown.
Do you watch Food Network to be entertained, or to learn more about cooking? Who’s overexposed? Who teaches you the most?
