Anyone else watch the Food Network?

[phillybri]

I give you, Rachael Ray...:wow:



She just knocked Nigella Lawson out of the #1 spot on my "Hot Chicks From Cooking Shows" list...Granted, it's not a long list...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

1. I love the Food Network...

Rachel Ray, Bobby Flay, Emeril, etc...They are all good, and my two favorites are Unwrapped and that show with the weird dude who likes to do science experiments.
Oh, and by the way, your pic doesn't work.

8. Does the pic work now? It's coming up for me...

...the picture that is...:evilgrin:

[GOPisEvil]

2. Watch it...the Rachael Ray Hater's Society will be out soon.

For the record, I think she's as cute as all get-out. She is a bit perky for my tastes, but her recipes work, and they are pretty tasty.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

3. People hate Rachel? WHY!?

[GOPisEvil]

4. Too perky...too many cutesy sayings...

...the $40 a day show is unrealistic, she tips too low...blah, blah, blah...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

5. Yeah, but 30 minute meals is great...

And she's a little too silly and perky, but she's cute and makes normal food normal people want to eat.

7. I'm with you.

Those 30-minute meals are pretty tasty. I have her first cookbook and I've made many things out of it. They've all been quick, easy and tasty.

6. Rachael Ray is HOT!

:wow: I knew she was cute but never knew she was hot until I saw that picture. I've watched her show.

Emeril is decent too but his meals are so impractical that no one in their right mind, unless they were a chef for a living, would ever try to make some of that stuff. Even if you do have the time, it's a challenge to find all of those ingredients.

9. I'm a sucker for Nigella's accent

And the way she eats strawberries.....AND Nigella looks more like she likes to eat than Rachel does. But, in the grand scheme of things, I ain't gonna score with either of them..........

[phillybri]

10. I'm a sucker for her, um, well you know...

Oh, the humanity!!! :-)

[Burma Jones]

14. LMAO

[Catshrink]

11. Alton Brown rocks.....

Love Good Eats.

[fryguy]

best show on FoodTV

he actually explains things in a way that allows you to make them, or use the knowledge in everyday dishes.....

[Beware the Beast Man]

12. I Posted a Rachael Ray thread the other day...

and the haters came out in droves (with a few exceptions)..me, I think she's adorable. Her little giggle when she finds cheap eats, the way her little nose turns red when she gulps a giant alcoholic beverage....I'd love to rub her down in E.V.O.O. (yummy!)

[gyopsy]

13. lol...agreed

I'm also amazed at how she stays so thin in her profession.

[DrZhivago]

15. I think Giada De Laurentiis from Everyday Italian

has got her beat. Shes way hotter

[phillybri]

18. Wow...she's not too tough on the eyes...

[fryguy]

16. Giada De Laurentiis

gets my vote - http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_ei

[soothsayer]

17. but...but...she has a BOYfriend!

and I was so sure she needed me to be her GIRLfriend.

(sigh)

She seems nice. I like to watch her shows.

[fryguy]

19. worst show on Food Network -

anything with that schlock ass-of-a-chef Emeril Lagasse....he sucked when he was at Commander's Palace, and he sucks even more now....

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

20. She went to my highschool

I think she's doing a book signing here soon, I'll have to check that out. :)

[forgethell]

21. Rachel Ray good

Nigella good, but for sheer entertainment value, "Good Eats" with Alton Brown.

[phillybri]

22. Kick

Kick because that picture deserves more viewings...

:kick:

[jburton]

23. Is Jamie Oliver still around?

I watched that show several times.

The concept was kinda clever; cooking+skater kids+random live bands.

The MTV of cooking shows.

[Loco_moco]

24. Alton Brown's blog...

check it out..

great rants.. :-)

here's an example:

<snip>
Friday, January 30, 2004
Georgia state school Superintendent Kathy Cox has decided that the word “evolution” is “…a buzzword that causes a lot of negative reaction” and should be replaced in all Georgia school curriculum with the phrase “biological changes over time”.
I agree. I hate buzzwords, don’t you? That’s why I think we should go one further and replace the phrase “slack-jawed backwater ignoramus” with the phrase “Kathy Cox”.
Just a suggestion.

...also Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals are awesome.. my wife and I make it a point to try out at least one recipie per week... easy to make, quick and tasty... Rachel rocks!!
