Wow. Between her and Rachael Ray, Food Network is a LOT of fun to watch these days.

yellowchef · 11-27-2004, 11:27 PM

I like Rachel Ray, Jack isnt as cute and she acts so stupid

Rachel is a bitch in real life.

omega2K4 · 11-30-2004, 12:28 AM

I still like that girl from "Everyday Italian" better, her name is Giada De Laurentiis, she's so hot.

Really? She seems so bubbly on tv but I suppose that could be a front. She does have a nice little butt on her though.

This image doesn't do Giada D L any justice....she's a very pretty woman inded.

absorbentishe · 12-01-2004, 07:27 AM

I like to look at Rachael Ray, just can't stand her voice, it's like nails on a chalk board to me. Jack is totally my type, except how dumb she acts, but that's okay too. Giada is hot, but there's something about her I dont' like, can't quite put my finger on it though.

She's from somewhere around me (Upstate NY), and she did some commercials this summer for a local grocery store chain. Oh My GOD they were so annoying. "If you like fresh, BELIEVE ME, Price Chopper is THE BEST in FRESH" Just the way she said itmade me want to kill myself every time it came on the TV/Radio.

pixelbend · 12-01-2004, 01:24 PM

Giada's head is too big for her body. Bothers me a little. Also, I picture her having a brother named Guido for some reason.

canuckguy · 12-01-2004, 06:05 PM

rachel ray makes me gag. i love negella lawson (negella bites sp?), and ana olson, with her show sugar. damn......christine cushing has some nice breasts as well......

phobs · 12-01-2004, 11:18 PM

Food network has some nice looking women but the most useful show for me is Good Eats. Its about the only show I've watched then actually cooked something decent.

yellowchef · 12-02-2004, 01:50 AM

I LOVE Alton Brown!!!

Ah, I wish he were my food science teacher (sooooooooo boring... ) Im going to hate taking that class..

anyways Rachel is a BIG BITCH, for real. I interned at the Biltmore Estate and I know the chefs at the Inn On Biltmore Estate and they all said the same thing.. shes SOOO bubbly and cheery and full of shit on TV, but in real life shes just bitchy and pissy.

Giadas smile.. all the time smile on tv is awkward to me.. also shes too perky like Rachel

hot though

pixelbend · 12-02-2004, 05:17 AM

AB is the bomb. His books are awesome too.

shred_head · 12-02-2004, 04:03 PM

Giada is so damn hot, and what a rack! But yeah her smile does seem a little weird.

I wouldn't have guessed that Rachel Ray was actually a bitch, but I can believe it. I mean clearly, she's just too bubbly for that to be real. I always had her pegged has a real freak in the sack though...

And yes, Good Eats is the best show on FoodNetwork. Science and food together, it's great!

Church · 12-02-2004, 06:41 PM

Not sure if this is a food network canada exclusive, but I've always had a soft spot for Christine Cushing! She has a show called Christine Cushing Live which is shot in Toronto. Anyone else know of her?

yellowchef · 12-03-2004, 12:09 AM

nope.

damn canadians. Blame Canada!! (I kid)

anyways I like food and science, but my food science class(Ive sat in on a few) is soooooooooo boring and Im not looking foward to taking it

FngKestrel · 12-03-2004, 12:13 AM

Alton Brown rules. I gotta know why things are, and Good Eats totally delivers. Can I actually cook? No. But, I know the theory behind the cooking.

zenmaster10665 · 12-03-2004, 03:57 AM

does anyone else think it is strange the a woman's name is Jack?

or is it just me?

pixelbend · 12-03-2004, 06:30 AM

AB appeals to so many people on a lot of levels. My wife and I love the show. She is a scientist and I am an artist (and a nerd). She is an amazing baker (baking is science) and I cook pretty well (cooking is an art).

What I want to know is where to get some of those awesome bowling shirts he wears.

edmos1 · 12-13-2004, 05:28 PM

how come no one has mentioned Paula Dean?

ahh I got it cuz she just got married.

teflonian · 12-13-2004, 05:47 PM

I second (third or fourth?) the good thoughts on Alton Brown and Good Eats. That show has to be the most perfect blend of entertainment, science, and food knowledge to ever hit the air waves. I can't see a show topping it ever.

Oh and I just read your signature zenmaster10665, very amusing.

The bowling shirts and the crazy flame throwing mixer rule!!!

Has to be my favorite show on foodnetwork...

Nice catch!

Bratwurst · 12-26-2004, 08:11 AM

I met AB at a booksigning at a nearby Borders books. I told him he should come out with his own line of cocktail/hawaiian shirts.

Very cool guy, his show is the best on food network, but I also like Tyler's Ultimate as well. A Cooks Tour was interesting to watch, but neither I nor my wife liked the host much.
