"dream dates" news and stories

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.
