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."

Remember what the great W. C. Fields said:




"There are only two things in the world that smell like fish...

and one of them is fish!"

Giada is very cute, but c'mon, who can trust a cook who weighs about 100 pounds??

Hmmmm... I will have to remember that one! LOL

I can bake anything, but I just hate cooking. My brother (professional chef) got all the cooking genes. Ironically, he hates to bake.

I'm going to stick to Seinfeld reruns at that time, because Betty Crocker and I are already quite well acquainted. ;-)

I can make cereal and pop-tarts. : ) I'm pretty much useless in the kitchen.

But I can cook in other places. Ask Najida. Heh, heh, heh. ; )

You rock, my friend.

She is no Nigella Lawson, but still a hottie.

I'm exactly the other way around. I love to cook, but baking is too much like science. The exact amounts matter, whereas with cooking I can just flail around until it tastes good.

Cooks may not age well, but our men don't leave us - they know they'll never eat that well again. ;-D

Rachael went and got herself married, instead of saving herself for me.

vehemently disagree...cooking together, along with an ope bottle of wine..is one of the sexiest things a man and woman can do together in a verticle position..it's like foreplay..

Gadia does the Everyday Italian cooking show.

I believe you're thinking of Sandra Lee who does Semi-Homemade

I bet she doesn't fry bacon dressed like that.

I have to say, though -- Rachel looks better with her natural coloring than some of the weird orange make-up and lightened hair that I've seen her with on some more recent shows.

I'm not sure how much I will be on it tonight either. I think your cold traveled up to my neck of the woods. I'm doing my best to fight it off, but I'm really exhausted. I picked up some Zicam last night, so hopefully that is working it's magic.

Have a fun time with your little one!
