I don’t understand why Aaron McCargo, Jr., who won the season 4 Food Network Star competition, didn’t become a big star. His show, Big Daddy’s House, is still on, though relegated to some early morning slot.
I record him on my DVR and love to watch him. He’s as personable and high-energy as Guy Fieri, and on top of that, he’s sexy, which Guy is not. Guy (and I do like the guy and watch him) is a cartoon caricature of himself. Aaron McCargo is a real, earthy, loving, personable, competent chef who knows his way around a kitchen. His recipes are realistic and easy to make. He’s also a husband and father and often has his kids or brother in the kitchen with him. My favorite is when he has his friends over for some kind of game day party–talk about a house full of man candy.
I know most of the FNStar winners have faded way… at least he’s still on at all. I think he’s yummy.
