|
|
When I was growing up there was the Galloping Goumet and Julia Child. Other guys were watching Combat and I was watching cooking shows. Then came Justin Wilson and Pierre Franey and that strange frugal gourmet guy Jeff Smith. Now there is the food network and also Create network. My wife records Lidia Bastanich every day so we can watch it at night. Rachel Ray has become her own corporation. Bobby Flay took Southwest to another dimension and and we all watched as the that chef lost his business in the reality show. The list is endless.
The weekend is starting and half the country is going to try a recipe they got from Jaques Pepin or Mariane Esposito. So tell me please, who is your favorite celebrity chef and why?

Well, he isn't exactly a celebrity, yet, but I liked Hung from Top Chef, and I'm glad he won! He was not there to make friends and he kicked butt!  BUT, my favorite celebrity chef is Rob Rainford from Licence to Grill! He can grill ANYTHING!

While he doesnt cook on TV, Anthony Bourdain for sure!! Love his perspectives and candor! His show No Reservations is raw and exciting and I own all of his books.

I think Ms.Rachael Ray should be boiled in her own oil. For some reason she makes me crazy

Talking about Rocco in the above post. But I agree with the Rachel Ray comment...She can work a nerve with her 30 minute self!

Rocco is the one I couldn't remember who had that reality show and lost the restaurant to his new partner. I hear he is coming back! Has anyone seen that Asian guy with the doo rag that goes from city to city. He has a fascinating show on the Create network.

I don't care for Rachel Ray either - Do you know how she got so famous? She was Oprah's chef for a while . . .

That makes sense. She kind of came out of nowhere, didn't she? I tell you, Oprah can make anyone famous, can't she?

Wasn't it Rosie who was Oprahs Chef? Rachel Ray is becoming annoying with her new show. I love Giatta DeLaurentis on Everyday Italian. She brought cleavage and cooking together. LOL, Dirty old frog!
