Food TV's Rachael Ray: Hottie In The Kitchen
Post Chronicle ^ | 2/16/06 | Mike Baron

Posted on 02/28/2006 12:30:21 PM PST by pissant

The food network has become the station where the hosts and chefs look, well, good enough to eat.

At the Food Network, E.V.O.O. means extra-virgin olive oil. But theres also a bit of T&A on hand and that definitely does not stand for tomatoes and apples.

The Food network has a subscriber base of 88 million, a group that has blossomed in its 13 years from 6.5 million members in 1993.

Much of the success can be attributed to Emeril Lagasse, who strapped the fledgling food tv network to his back and carried it through the nineties.

But a new savior has arrived and frankly one that quite a bit easier on the eyes. If I may steal a phrase from the food diva, she's Yum-O!.

With four – count 'em hour - shows on the Food Network, including "30-Minute Meals," in which she puts together meals in under 30 minutes silly, and "$40 a Day," in which she dines while traveling on a budget - two best selling cookbooks out this year, a new magazine - Rachael Ray knows how to heat up things up in and out of the kitchen!

Ray is a 37-year-old wholesome hottie who has taken the Baton from Lagasse to become the face - and body - of the Food Network.

Ray is author of 11 books and namesake of a new magazine. She has also posed in skimpy shorts for a little FHM "action".

She's also the first foodie expert to do a talk show, which is set to air next fall. The show will focus on "taking a bigger bite out of life."

Prior to joining this fun group I was part of another FR group but they kicked me out.

I hate Rachel Ray. She's the slut of the food world. How about that nice Southern lady on Food Network? She may be older but she's not a slutty bubblehead like RR.

Kind of like remembering an old, stale fart?

You talking about me?

Rachael Ray is cute as can be, and I want her life. She looks great and gets paid to travel, eat and talk to celebrities. Talk about your dream jobs!

But my favorite chef on Food Network is definitely A.B.

Any guy who can work science, humor and power tools into his cooking show is a winner to me ... and his recipes are consistently fabulous. (Plus, he's from Atlanta... a big plus, right, Peacebaby?)

Rachel Ray is like a fraternity little sister, the kind that hangs around too much and begs for attention.

Who is A.B.? I need to get out more, geez!

But, wait a second. I don't need to be in the kitchen any more than is absolutely necessary. It's dangerous for my figure.

Unwrapped is the best show on the food channel, IMO.

Best chef on TV (although he doesn't cook on TV): Anthony Bourdain. Great writer too.

I don't think I'll ever live that one down.

I better take Love Story off my "movies to review" list.

I can't watch her. That annoying giggle and the hand motions are ridiculous.

I love PAULA!!

No, we don't watch cooking shows. We watch the babes who happen to be on a cooking show.
