Yes.

An informative and somewhat entertaining and likeable host.


>>What do you hate?

Overrated *chefs* with catch phrases such as "Bam!", Ina Garten (don't even
get me started on her), and most of the newer shows on Foodtv, such as Date
Plate.


>>What would you do if you had a cooking show? TIA

I would fry Spam in the nude.

Or: "EVOO, Extra Virgin Olive Oil". What's the point of that? If you are
going to explain the acronym every time, why use the acronym?

Still, Rachael is scrumptious.

I'd love to do "Cooking for the Complete ****ing Moron." Aim it at
college students trying to cook for the first time. It would be a lot
ruder than "How to Boil Water".

I don't know if it would have to target college students. We have a local
radio cooking show on Saturdays. The people who call appear to be quite
mature. Every week they ask the same question and request the same recipe.
The latest recipe they all want is "the pineapple angel food cake." This
cake as two ingredients: one box of angel food cake mix and one 20 oz. can
of crushed pineapple in juice. There isn't a week that goes by that someone
doesn't call and say that they couldn't remember the ingredients and request
that the recipe be repeated. The second most frequent request goes
something like this: "I am having a dinner party TONIGHT and I bought
(insert item here), how do you cook that?
