Maybe it IS a New York thing. I liked Mario Batali’s show where he would cook for a couple of friends, showing off his (very extensive) knowledge and skills. Then I read an interview where he was just hating on Bush. Now I don’t care for him at all.
BTW, I’ve met Paula Deen in person and she is exactly like she is on TV. Very friendly and personable.

He was with him (AB) in the New Jersey show, which was very funny.
