9 Nasty Truths About Your Favorite Foods
Hazan Family Favorites: A Cookbook Review
Agnostic
of your preference for men or women, the hot chefs on the Food Network, well, they know they're hot. They're
entirely crush-worthy and would make ideal fantasy Valentine's dates - they're personable, they have great taste in
wine, and best of all, they can cook. If marital status weren't an issue, my top Valentine's Day picks would
be:
- Bobby Flay: I've had a crush on Bobby ever since I first wished I was his giggly sidekick on Hot Off the Grill. I saw him, in person, at Bolo five or six years ago and my face got all warm, I felt like I was in the presence of royalty. He's the ultimate in hunky Food Network chefs. On my dream date, he'd grill shrimp and portabello mushrooms with some sort of green garlic sauce and we'd wash it all down with a gigantic pitcher of sangria.
- Giada de Laurentiis: She's so obvious it almost feels wrong picking her. Giada just drips sex appeal from the camera angles to the cleavage. Boys, she is one hot cookin' mama. We'd eat lobster fra diavolo and warm chocolate cakes with berries and drink cocktails of Prosecco with raspberry puree.
- Alton Brown. While he's one definitely favored for his personality over his looks, Alton charms us all with his absent-minded professor routine. He's funny, he's goofy, he's so smart. I could have a date just with his kitchen, in fact. We'd eat chicken pot pie and have cobbler for dessert; but first we'd get loopy with his own martinis.
- Cat Cora. Little miss Iron Chef definitely has the powerful woman thing going for her. Cat isn't one to fool around with and you know she'd have the wittiest things to say during dinner. I'd love to hear her back stories on all the competition, and tell about that time she saw Emeril cuss at the help. The theme for the day will be olives from her native Greece, and we'll eat leg of lamb with olive salsa, olive bread, goat cheese and olive-filled grape leaves, and for dessert, olive oil tourta.

It sounds like most of the posters here who rip into Giada are jealous females. I think she's lovely. And since she was born in Rome, I don't have a problem with her properly pronouncing Italian words. At least now I know how to say risotto. And her "fake" Italian background????? Her grandpa is Dino DiLaurentis and her mom, Sylvia Magnano, one of Italy's premier film actresses, so there is nothing fake about that. Leave her alone. Go burn Rachael Ray at the stake - with some EVOO.

Giada de Laurentiis: Annoys the hell out of me, eat a fricken burger baby, christ...even Italy, I am SURE has a McDonalds...and just because there is some Italian background there in her family, why is it that she can pronounce EVERYTHING just fine, until it comes to Italian food...Heavily Pronounced, (Prewshetoh) very heavily pronounced... just sickins me.
Ina Garten (Barefoot Bertha): She can cook, and she can make some damn nice lookin food, but, I bet if she went to the clothing store, there are OTHER colors besides...BLACK? I am sure her hubby Jeffery would'nt mind, ofcourse maybe she is doing that for her dike girlfriend? and for god sakes, when ya go to the beach, umm, leave the ugly winter coat at home! She is not bad looking for someone who is into that kind of thing, yeah, I would hit on her in a drunken stooper.
Racheal Ray (Raytard):STOP repeating yourself, good christ we get it already, EVOO we all KNOW what you mean...GB Garbage Bowl, I am a dude, and I do that, you didn't invent it!!!!??? and while we are at it, what the hell is with the one piece bathing suit with jeans...UGLY (yukko) just to coin a phrase that we all have heard...over and over. and yes....we all have been to the "regular ole grocery store" I actually know where the hell to find fricken pickles, christ man, what kind of retard watches this shit and does not know where the hell to find the "good" pickles? I actually SOAK my mushrooms, just to piss this bitch off...I know somewhere she is saying, eww, that makes them tuff....(I dont care) this is comming from some one who entertains with S.O.S. (chicken ala king) for christ sakes. Nuff Said
Sandra Lee: This chick obviously was a nerd in High School....(Just a guess) your kitchen doesn't have to coordinate with your meal....sheesh. yeah, a cutie...but I am afraid that with me she would "take some help from the store" and do some crazy fricken short cut. Oh I almost forgot...one word for ya babe REHAB
Paula Dean: LOVE HER, but...she makes the show, get your damn grown sons the hell off the show, sure the x-mas special was good, but my god, they are not the talent here, let them get there own damn show! I have the MOST respect for this woman, she has been thru hell, and obviously (paula goes to hollywood) really really needs make-up! incase some of you are confused...ole=oil flouwer=flour scollps=scallops take a little taste=I am funna eat this bitch! If I was single, I would date her in a heart beat, but the backside of things is that she would probably bring those closet sons with her
while we are at it...Martha Stewart...I am thinking BONDAGE???? S&M (It's a good thing)
Cat Cora: WHO?
And how can we forget the CHIEF AND EDITOR OF GORMA'E MAGAZINE: Sara Moulton: Well, for an editor, I would expect her to be a little more organized, she is a nervous wreck, but yeah, on a dare, I would buy her chocolates.
Bobby Flay-one word...Deoderant, yukk
Dave Lieberman: What are ya....12?
Jamie Oliver: is he not the naked chef? GET SOME CLOTHES ON!!!
Alton Brown: I have learned alot..just a tad boring, I think he is on too late.
Malto Mario: ISH, what is with the red shoes? and the hand gesture for his name..and say GOOD BYE...your are not on a street in the BELOVED italy, it is not CHOW here, and why do you expect your guess to serve up your slop? do it yourself, you could use the excersize!
Michael Chiarello: Gee where to start, umm, nice house...(like the other Micheal)...dont bring your kids over...he is creepy, and WAY to organized...one word again...YUKK and when you have people over...(always) you dont need to go into detail about what your are serving or how you mad it, it is annoying for me and I am sure, just as annoying for your guest!
Names not known: those two NEW guys that have the catering business that wants to make it easier for you, to show you how to put on a party...I think there perfect "party" would be consisting of those two with a bottle of EVOO (if ya get my drift)
Emeril: Burnt Out!!! BAMM him the hell off of the network, you are the weakest link...GOODBYE!!!!
Sugar Rush: BORING

And re: Giada. People who smile and show all their teeth make me very nervous.

I would love to see her in person and chat with her. Rachel Ray is great too. I LOOOOVE Alton, but you all are right about Bobby Flay. Stop picking on Giada because you are jealous of her figure, personality, and talents.
