Yes, she has detractors, but the chain thinks Rachael Ray's appeal will boost expansion plans Dunkin' Donuts has a new pitchwoman: TV personality Rachael Ray .
As the Canton chain looks to expand nationally and get beyond its doughnut heritage, Ray's philosophy of better-for-you food seems to make her ideal for the role.

I took a free trial of her magazine. I didn't order it because in the first copy I received, she did an interview with "Queen of the Hill," "Political Powerhouse" DONNA BRAZIL! (Algore's 2000 Campaign Manager?)
Yeesh! I realize 'Rats have to eat too, but I lost my lunch over that one.
The hero of the lowest common denominator in food creation.
She is ugly, I hate her food, and she needs to shop for better bras.
I'd rather watch classic chefs, they at least teach you something.
"I'd rather watch classic chefs, they at least teach you something."
Alton Brown is my very favorite. I never fail to learn something from his shows.
Ouch!
and she needs to shop for better bras.
She shouldn't wear those tight spandex tops that's for sure. Her boobs are so small so it's not a flattering look for her. A Victoria's Secret bra would do wonders for her.
"America's Test Kitchen" and Jacques Pepin are also good.
*snort*
Pudgy, yet b*obless ... worst of both worlds.
I enjoy Giada DeLaurentiis' show Everyday Italian because I like learning how to make new Italian dishes; she's easier to watch too.
I like Tyler Florence's show Food 911 the best of all; he's so cute and he cooks. Huge bonus points for guys like that. He can come over to my house anyday and help me cook :)
-I have caught some of her older shows and liked them....bought a few of her books and they were good. I don't much care for her magazine which I got on a friend's recommendation.
I absolutely LOVE a man who can cook, I will check out him out for sure!
Giada's book, "Everyday Italian", is the best! Her recipes work great and my family actually likes them.
As for Rachael Ray, I can't watch her any more - too put on. Also, I just don't understand the tie-in with Dunkin Donuts. It doesn't make sense to link the two together. But, if she grows the brand enough to get a DD in Richmond VA, then I'm all for it (we only have 1 store and it's too far away for me).
Guess I'm the only one who has not seen RR on tv. But I agree that a young woman is a strange tie in with Dunkin Donuts. She doesn't look like a donut eater and certainly not a dunker. I liked the older man they used to have. If anything she strikes me as anti-donut.
I read it too; I love all her recipes in it. I'm not much of a baker, but she had some good dessert recipes that I made and they turned out really tastey.
Rachael who?
Seriesly, I did have to search for her.
Ouch you folks are mean.. I am somewhat annoyed by 'giggles' to, but I met her about a year ago at an event (along with a few other celeb chefs & writers) and she was one of the sweetest people I've met.. IMHO, her 'giggle' issue is very sincere..
A person standing next to me in line spilled some of their coke on themselves and she jumped up and grabbed a towel to help dry her off.. she didn't have to, but it was so fast that it seemed like the instinct of a genuinely good person.
I would rather have coffee with her than that asshole Mario Batali any day - (he wouldn't serve anyone from the RNC at his restaurant Babbo.. he had them turned away at the door..)
