Comments on You're Next, Rachael Ray

Martha couldn't afford Rachael Ray. And she's overpriced. Emeril, perhaps surprisingly, is a good guy and a dedicated, skillful chef who is undervalued in the market because he cheapened himself with all that "kick it up a notch" and "bam!" bullshit.

Think Martha's going to be inviting him over for a personal demonstration of his "bam!" technique? "OK, Marther, you want the pork fat now?"

Why, exactly, would Oprah sell Rachael to Martha?

NOOOO!

We need our sexy chefs!

Bam!

@1,

Are you sure? I once saw him prepare duck nachos. That was enough to turn me off from him for good.

I just made an Emeril recipe for the first time on Saturday.

It was also the last time I'll make an Emeril recipe. Who knew you could fuck up chicken enchiladas that badly?

I always hated Rachael Ray, always abrasively shortening extra virgin olive oil to EEOO and then immediately explaining the acronym taking twice as much time with the whole exercise.

And today i saw that she has a brand of olive oil named EEOO. If i had seen her at that moment i would have punched her

@7, it's EVOO, not EEOO.

Either way, you're not alone: http://community.livejournal.com/rachael_ray_sux

There's your BAM!

@1, She actually had him on this morning. She announced the acquisition, though she called it a "strategic partnership" and then they made some duck dish with cherry sauce. I don't know how much they discussed the whole business end of things because I wasn't really paying attention - her show makes for soothing background noise when I'm getting ready for work.
