Michelle Obama's cameo in cooking show (Iron Chef America)
NDTV ^ | 110409 | New York Times News Service

Posted on 11/05/2009 9:34:50 AM PST by Artemis Webb

Alton Brown, the host of "Iron Chef America," fell into the turnip patch just before the show began taping several scenes outside the White House in late October. (The best stuff always happens off camera.)

On the episode, which will open the show's new season on January 3 on the Food Network, two pairs of chefs will compete: Cristeta Comerford, the White House executive chef, and Bobby Flay go up against the combined forces of Mario Batali and Emeril Lagasse.

In a collision of politics, cooking and popular culture, Michelle Obama will reveal the secret ingredient that the chefs must use in their televised cook-off: anything that grows in the White House garden (no further spoilers here, though). She will also talk about her crusade to reduce childhood obesity through better school lunches, community gardens, farmers' markets and exercise, which around the White House has the working title Healthy Kids Initiative.

How revolting!

I'll just ignore her "cameo" at the beginning then start watching Mario Batali win (again).

Ugh, I’m with you. Ghastly dress; maybe it’s just too much orange.

Mario and Emeril should be fun to watch.

Where does this woman do her clothes shopping? Does she even know her own size? Is she color blind? It looks like big bird going gay.

I think the dress is too short. She should wear longer dresses that don’t have so much gathering at the waist. That sweater looks too small.

Mario needs to lose the orange shoes and socks, lose a few pounds and put on some long pants for Cripes sake...

Mario Batali always dresses like that. He has his own line of Crocs:

Do you think he color coordinated with Bummer’s wife on purpose?

The crocs wouldn’t be so bad if he wore PANTS. He always wears those stupid looking shorts.

I don't think Aunt Esther is color coordinated with anything. She's off in her own ugly world.

The Obamas have to ruin everything. You can't turn on television or look at a magazine without seeing one of their faces. It's sickening!

“Did Iron Chef do this when Bush was President?”

Probably not. I only saw one White House Christmas Special in all the eight years GW and Laura Bush were in the White House. I don’t recall seeing Laura Bush cookie recepies at all. They were invisible except for those with forked tongues and poison pens.
