Def no fan of Deen. I got a free meal at her joint in a casino a fee years ago. Awful....with the exception of the greens, which were delightful. The okra may have been a felony though.
 
I stole Paula's grilled oysters. They have done me well. Probably the only episode I ever watched.

Below: With my best friend and former lover and my buddy Jacques.

That was 55 lbs. ago.

Dang Salty, I had no idea you used to be so large. Congrats on looking and feeling better.
Love me some Jacques.
 
Paula Deen definitely sucks in my book, and to boot she sounds like my ex-wife's family. Never a good thing.

I've seen her a couple of times at the Chicago Housewares show, and she is just as annoying in person, and the crowd watching her...well let's just say that it's a different type of food crowd and they use up lots of cream of mushroom soup.

I remember her on NPR. When asked if she could bread a couch. Sure, she said. It's easy, just dip it in egg first.

I think this sums it up.

Michael Freakin' Symon!!!!
I'm not going to go on at length.............
......but I just saw Another Lay's potato chip commercial featuring Eva Longoria and Chef Michael Symon.
This one is pimping:
Chicken and Waffle
Sriracha
Cheesy Garlic Bread
Flavored potato chips
Disgusting-The Chips
Sell Out-Michael Symon
Hottie-Eva Longoria

LAME
 
there's a fad going around in my country with local celebrities taking up culinary courses and then making restaurants suddenly calling themselves chefs. not only that! they get their own cooking shows and judging cooking competitions on TV. it's just retarded! so they're techinically "celeberity chefs" in their own minds. W.T.F. seriously, most annoying thing ever.

it's great that they're innovating and rebranding themselves to make more money but banking their celebrity to call themselves celebrity chefs just coz they went through culinary school already makes them chefs? i mean i finished culinary school myself but i couldn't even dare call myself a chef. i'm a cook, always have been and will always be. but what they're doing is just BLAHHHHHHHH.

it's admirable that these celebrities actually value further education (even if half of them never bothered finishing highschool, much less college and know nothing about having a real job).... but jeez....

Between the holidays and now restaurant week(s), just haven't had time to shave...or get a hair cut.

Honestly, I don't know. Just the way it is right now.

I'd like five minutes in a room alone with the bastard who implemented restaurant week...

Be good practice for that ancient Beatty I picked up...
 
We have RW here in Philly and my grown kids were excited to go with their friends. I was the buzz-kill but at least now they know.
 
Restaurant Week=Rookie Week
It's a lot like New Years. All the people that never go out to eat..........
..........Dummied-down menus. All the great tippers come out too.:hungry::cheffry::knifed::thebbq::cook::bbq::bbqsmoker::cookingegg::cooking::cookingdinner::theline::shots::feedkids:
 
you guys are crazy!! celebrity cooks and all the insane stuff on TV has changed the game. the odd fellow that thought a can of chef boy R dee was a good substitute for a pasta dinner now is slowly trickling into becoming a foodie.

people are cooking, buying better ingredients, better TOOLS (like your knives), and exploring different foods.

i have a friend that would only eat rice and soy sauce in a chinese restaurant. he is is now a decent cook because of (egads!) Giada. call me crazy, i think this is a good thing. i grew up in a foodie family. i had a hand in the game at an early age.

I scanned your list and thought "hotie-eva longoria" was a chip flavour!
 
Keep in mind that I only read the first page of this thread at the time of this posting.

Say what you will about Rachael Ray, and I'm pretty sure that I can cook much better than she can, but if she ever, and I do mean EVER, wants to give me a private cooking lesson at my place, or better yet her place, I can guarantee you that I will clear out my schedule for that day without fail. And I would brag about the aftermath to every cooking and tabloid magazine that is willing to believe my story. Of coarse, the only reason I watch her show is to catch moments when she closes a refrigerator door with her hips. I mostly watch it on mute.

Rachel Ray doesn't hold a candle to Giada DeLuarentis either at cooking or in the looks department.

I just threw up in my mouth. She's gross and besides she likes guys about 50 years older than you.
 
#3 on the puke in mouth. Ray is gross, every time I hear her laugh, I wanna punch myself in the beans. It would probably be less painful

Until Giada has her own spread *cough* in an FHM or similar magazine, I will have to disagree with you. Except for when Rachael goes through her fat stages. Even though those FHM pics were photoshoped, they are not too far off from the truth.

That is simply a reflection on your detest for her cooking skills. They are blinding you to the physical truth. SET YOUR EYES FREE FROM THE DARKNESS MY LOST LAMB!!!

:puke: Not sexy.
 
Ehh, we can think about Steely's historical hotties, why not Ray Ray in her prime.

Kate Moss is still 21 in my eyes.
