Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous

The one name that is not on this list is Julia Child's, that peerless pioneer of television cooking who inspired entire generations of Americans to become homegrown gourmets. Her joyful sensuality was part of her allure: she set the mold for every woman on this list. We chose not to include her because sometimes genius stands apart. Julia Child's is sexy, just re-watch the way the woman eats a pastry, breaks down a chicken, or kneads a mound of dough.
And now, the heiresses to her throne ... these goddesses are so hot, they practically sizzle.

10. Paula Deen

She didn't win the recent Top Chef, but she won many hearts. This chef means business in the kitchen, just ask her mentor, world-renown chef Eric Ripert. The more she sweats, hair pulled back, the sexier she gets.

Calm, collected, and poised, the host of Bravo's Top Chef is possibly the hottest woman on television, period. Her regality is balanced by a hidden sense of humor, and both are complimented by her monster appetite.

i worked in the food service for 30 some odd years, if these are the best looking women in food service we are in trouble, you need your eyes examined. I've seen better looking busboys, what a joke.

She should be top 3 at a minimum.

2-02-2010 @2:17PM jec said... The article is about the ten hottest women in the food industry. It does not mention the ten best women chefs. With that said if anyone has every really watched Paula cook I don't see how her licking her fingers all the time makes her hot. Oh wait, maybe the list makers were men and they imagined her licking something other than her fingers.

2-02-2010 @4:32PM David Florida said... The only memorable TV moment Paula Deen gave us was when someone hit her in the face with a ham! SEXY????? I guess if you find Miss Piggy sexy, you would also have to find Paula the same. Honestly, take a look, she is Miss Piggy's twin sister. Same round fat face, over applied makeup, fake eye lashes, huge toothy mouth full of dential implants, same loud overbearing voice and laugh, exact same wigs, and same figure. Miss Piggy better watch out.......Paula obviously eats alot of bacon.

Never heard of any until I watched the cooking channel and Paula I watched a biography, so that's how I knew her.

2-02-2010 @3:41PM mazzo said... Sometimes we all make mistakes. Are you sure you're describing Rachael Ray? If you are, please look in the dictionary for the meaning of the word "vapid". She is, in my opinion, the last candidate for that description. Personally, I enjoy her cooking segments whenever I see them. Vapid? No,no,no!
2-02-2010 @2:26PM S. Nehus said... Personally, can't stand Paula Deen. It's the one show on Food Network I refuse to watch. There's just something about the way she talks that grates on the nerves and it's not her southern drawl. Reminds me of mom talking to us when we were kids as if we didn't know anything.
