I like this assessment of the most annoying chefs. I totally agree with the Giada comments re her pronunciation and her freakishly tiny dinosaur arms. And I can't stand the Neelys.

| Guy Fieri is a no-talent douche. Paula Deen seems like a nice lady, but her food is gross. I like Claire Robinson. |
| Giada's family is a pretty famous in Italy (famous movie producer grandfather and film star grandmother) and they have a lot of money. I think she was doing an intro piece for one of the news stations for the Olympics? a couple years ago from her family home in Italy. The room was decorated as if they were royalty. |
It's Ree. What do you mean by not authentic? Ses not claiming to be anything but someone who enjoys cooking for her family and friends? |
|
I don't like Sandra Lee. Is she still even on?
|

I used to love nigella unit one episode long ago, she said she collects all the wine glasses from her dinner parties and pours the remains of the wine (that's right the backwash) and freezes it to be used for sauces and other recipes.
Yuck! Wtf?! |
| Who is Ree? |
Yes, she is still on "Semi half-assed cooking" |
You win points for being succinct. +1 |
Giada is not named for a disease. That's giardia. Giada is Italian for "jade." I hate Sandra Lee so much I turned a corner and actually liked her because hating her brought me so much pleasure. She's amazing. I once saw her peddle something called "tropical rice" which was minute rice with dried pineapple, mango and bananas in it. YUM!! And her amazing Kwanzaa cake, festooned with Corn Nuts. I used to do Pinterest and my Pinterest board with alcoholic drinks was called "Aunt Sandy's Cocktail Time" after Sandra Lee's requisite cocktail per episode and how she loves to talk about Stephanie and Brycer and how much they love their Aunt Sandy. She's so bad, she's amazing. She's my fave. |
Don't forget Sandra Les's famous "tablescapes" where everything matches. Giada's recipes are very good but she seems like a real control freak around her friends. And her constant smile is irritating. |
Incorrect. She is named after giardia - Giada is Italian for giardia. Her mother contracted the disease when she was pregnant with her, hence the name. And hence also the large head/tyrannosaurus arms thing. |

I can tolerate Ina now but found her to be soooo annoying at first. But her recipes are definitely not for those on a budget.
Rachael Ray annoyws the shit out of me. The word stewp/stoup drives me apeshit. And she's way too amused by her own jokes. Giada is eh. Anne Burrell has no personality. I think Bobby Flay has massive douche potential. Sandra Lee annoyed me from the start. I've been a follower of Pioneer Woman for a while but I prefer her site to her show. It seems like there's so much emphasis on making them look like the perfect family. The Neely's annoy me because they're so damn cutesy on the show. Dial it down a notch. |
| Giada's daughter is named Jade. Makes sense now. |
Rachel Ray drives me nuts. In fact, most Food Network people are annoying. I do love Alton Brown though, but I'm a big dork
