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."

LOL, and I don't think it's for the cooking, or is it? :)

A freeperette round up? I believe that P/Ant would want it in one place, and the 'ettes would want it at a supervised site.

These shows provide a valuable service, it teaches women to cook for their Husbands while they're Barefoot and Pregnant.

Yes, he asked us to help raise money to send to the soldiers recovering in Germany, so we ladies pitched in some dollars tobuy the men and women over their dinner.

When it was all over and he had our money, he called it like "herding cats."

I hate Rachel Ray. She's the slut of the food world.

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

We got over a hundred posts before the Rachael-haters make an appearance.
