Who Else Here Has an Unhealthy Obsession with Rachael Ray?
For those of you who aren't familiar with her, she's the host of "30 Minute Meals" and "$40 a Day" on Food Network. She's adorable....

1. I can't stand Rachael Ray
She's squeaky and giggly and overuses "yummy." She's a woman in her 30s, not in her pre-teens.

Alton Brown's my Food TV favorite, although I'd stop short of calling it an obsession.

8. "How cool is that?"
She sounds like a Valley Girl for the new millenium (hope I'm not offending anyone) :-)

I love to cook, but I cannot stand watching her, so I don't.

2. I have to admit it...I'm a Ray-aholic...
Is there a 12-step program?

I like Alton Brown too, to the point that I am dismayed that he is no longer on at 11:30pmET weekdays. I also plan my Wed. evenings around the weekly showing of Good Eats.

I need a life. Badly.

3. She needs to take her "EVOO"
Edited on Wed Apr-14-04 01:36 PM by tishaLA
and stay off my TV. I can't stand her perpetual pubescence. And if I ever tip somebody like she does in $40 a Day, shoot me.

5. Ahem...not all of us are haters.
I have to admit that LIVING with her might be a pain, but watching her is nice. I think she's cute. :-)

10. Even my 4-year-old boy watches when she's cooking.
He'll just sit there quietly (almost the ONLY time he will do that) and look at her. Just like his old man. :sniff:

11. I thought she was ok
until she started shilling for Burger King.

Alton Brown and Mario Batali are my two favorites by far.

14. I enjoy Alton
Brown, my daughter and i watch that one together, as for Ms. evoo, cannot stand her and her "Garbage"bowl and the fact that she drowns everything in balsamic vinegar. Everything is a snacker or little bite so you can just eat alllll night, yummy!!!!!
