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..)
