nigella wins, but if you cut giada's head off she's a close contender.

― el borracho (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 26 August 2006 02:07 (nineteen years ago)

nigella conquers all.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 26 August 2006 02:18 (nineteen years ago)

i think nigella probs wins. but giada definitely does have the most hypnotic pair of breasts in cooking show history.

thanks dean. makin dudes smile.

i kinda dig nigella, but even i , a horny devil to the core, think all the slo-mo shots of her eating spagetti or whatever is a bit much. and a tad strange! every show having a close-up of yourself making love to a piece of food? what a legacy!

― scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 26 August 2006 14:47 (nineteen years ago)

i'd gladly take nigella romanting her food over the barefoot contessa doing so!!!

I also now freelance for RR Show, so I'm not clicking on that link. I will also add that RR is better looking in person and that on 30MM she's lit pretty badly.

actually I find Nigella more attractive.

I watch Giada w/the sound off once a week on the exercise machine at the gym, it's pretty funny though the mayonnaise bit was nauseating.

i'm so into sandra lee. she uses words like "tablescape", has the fakest boobs on foodtv and she's the sara lee heiress. totally amazing. i love that foodtv is pitting giada vs. nigella quite literally.

anything to eradicate the memory of rachel ray. [garbage bowl is a good tip fwiw.]

what's the diff between "good tip" and "a standard common-sense thing that everybody should be doing anyway"? she's nuts if she thinks she invented that.

...and i have yet to see satisfactory images of boobage that would make me turn away from Nigella/Giada?

― Jimmy Mod: THE HANDLESS ORGANIST (The Famous Jimmy Mod), Sunday, 27 August 2006 16:37 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, i think she's the alyssa milano of foodtv, but the photo at the bottom of the wiki entry is the outfit i was referring to [i think.]

and oh man tablescape = this. she tries to make it seem totally normal and not the least bit neurotic/impossible/expensive in keeping with the pluperfect bourgeois homemaker mentality.

tehresa, my wife pointed out to me that her kitchen-aid mixer matches every interior. today's was orange. [yeah, i watch too much food tv (thanks wifey), even though i'm not an epicurean/gourmand/foodie (i chose voluptuary) and i can't cook more than pasta and a good artichoke dip. i'm amazed by the production values poured into every show. it's like nfl films for food (or porn, depending on your background in production)]

― blackmail (blackmail.is.my.life), Sunday, 27 August 2006 18:38 (nineteen years ago)

there was a thng on npr a few weekends ago where a former porn cinematographer talked about food tv...hillarious

― bb (bbrz), Sunday, 27 August 2006 18:49 (nineteen years ago)

oh yeah, porn types love it. the production values are more or less identical, and the camera techniques are too.

and the sounds!!

its actually very funny to hear clips of giada's show on the radio..all this squishing, etc...

the lighting on her show is just crazy, too..all those soft brights

― bb (bbrz), Sunday, 27 August 2006 19:04 (nineteen years ago)

her SHOW is excellent; I've made the 'pole up her ass diction' comment before tho...

― Jimmy Mod: THE HANDLESS ORGANIST (The Famous Jimmy Mod), Sunday, 27 August 2006 19:08 (nineteen years ago)

yes the sounds. i think the network drew inspiration [so to speak] from the cooing voiceovers on the orig iron chef. everything's so decadent! and high end!

how long before a nigella vs. giada cookoff?

ian, face facts.

also, after watching about 15 minutes of he chefs bio thing i had come to find her unbearable...though my brother has her cookbook, and it has decent offering.

now. the fact that her features a freakishly out of proportion to the size of her head could allow for something...exciting, but no. you want her to be hot, but shes simply just reasonable...

― bb (bbrz), Monday, 28 August 2006 11:01 (nineteen years ago)

She has such shit posture, I can't tell if it's the product or the result of her seemingly ginormous cranium.

― m coleman (lovebug starski), Monday, 28 August 2006 12:22 (nineteen years ago)

Her posture, ow ow ow. I suspect Giada is actually a tiny shorty, but she has that slump that v tall girls sometimes use to disguise their towering -- the slump is sort of fashionable because WHO'S TALL? MODELS, THAT'S WHO! AND THEY'RE REALLY REALLY SKINNY, TOO! so their little ribcages almost bend backwards and by sad, sad association the slump is now everywhere.

Giada is NOT that big, people. Her grandmother, maybe (OKAY THAT PICTURE), but G herself is a scrawny thing despite the fact that her breasts seem oddly round. Now, Nigella might have an excuse for slouching and yet she doesn't!

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 28 August 2006 13:53 (nineteen years ago)

at the end of the day...shes really not so special, as a physical specimen. as a spectacle...well, thats another story. i maintain that shes just an average woman who is made more attractive by the projection of a want for an object of lust.

― bb (bbrz), Monday, 28 August 2006 14:04 (nineteen years ago)

Rachel Ray is about 30,000Kx cuter than either of these shrill mutant bitches and she actually makes food I would eat. Nigella marinates pork in coca-cola and Giada thinks toasting tortillas with shredded parmesan in the oven is worth talking about for half her show.

Evidence that I am finally growing up = regardless of ribbed sweater and ludicrous cartoon boobs above, I am unable to ignore her ridiculous cow face.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Monday, 28 August 2006 14:11 (nineteen years ago)

This thread is completely heartbreaking. At least Nigella actually seems to know how to cook. And FWIW I'm pretty sure every girl in the universe knows how to do the same trick Giada uses every episode of her show to make her boobs look bigger, ie the whole slouch-slightly-put-arms-kind-of-oddly-together stunt. So yeah, I'm with Laurel & bb I guess and am kind of amazed this would even remotely be an argument, how clearly worse Giada is. The only downside Nigella truly has compared to Giada is how creepy-ass all the eating segments on her show are.

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (allyzay), Monday, 28 August 2006 14:12 (nineteen years ago)

Re: garbage bowl vs "just go to the bin"...but lots of food waste doesn't go in the trash, it goes in the disposal in the sink. Also we Americans only cook five things at a time, minimum. No time for going to the bin.

Paula Dean is the only one of these women who would put out.

STOP WITH THE RACHEL RAYE PIX IM ABOUT TO TRY AND HAVE LUNCH!!!

lets face it, every food network person is goddamned irritating...

but, a short paula dean annecdote (or blind item, actually)...a certain member of a certain brooklyn band once told me how he is obsessed with watching paula dean with the sound off. he was utterly captivated by her and the way she pours things out of cans and so forth...the few minutes i watcehd with him is all the paula dean ive seen. i find the premise of her show repulsive..

― bb (bbrz), Monday, 28 August 2006 14:51 (nineteen years ago)

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (allyzay), Monday, 28 August 2006 14:53 (nineteen years ago)

my wife loves paula dean. i don't get it since we'd probably never eat anything with that much butter, but i'm fascinated by her ability to sneak French techniques into Southern cooking [anathema!].

and um can we please discuss more about how sandra lee is still the craziest of all? did anyone see her insane usc show?

finally: rachel ray's body has changed so much since she started on food tv that i'm beginning to believe that's why Oprah chose her.

Nigella marinates pork in coca-cola

that's not so weird. people in the south brine their hams with coca-cola and/or dr. pepper all the time -- something about the high acidity and the caramel flavoring.

― el borracho (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 28 August 2006 15:17 (nineteen years ago)

theres a recipe in the current bon appetit has an article for carnitas for tacos that uses coca-cola...from some fancy resteraunt...

― bb (bbrz), Monday, 28 August 2006 15:35 (nineteen years ago)

Dude, soda makes excellent marinade. I marinated rabbit in root beer once, totally flavorsville.

― captain reverend gandalf jesus (nickalicious), Monday, 28 August 2006 15:36 (nineteen years ago)

whoops, my paula dean thing above was actuallyt sandra lee...she the one that uses packaged foods right?

rabit in rootbeer sounds kinda awesome....duck in gingerbeer anyone?

― bb (bbrz), Monday, 28 August 2006 15:39 (nineteen years ago)

I don't understand Tom's sudden distaste for the cola marinade since I've seen him do not dissimilar things with my own eyes, I think that was grasping for straws because who the hell remembers anything Nigella makes with all the fuzzy lenses and smooth jazz, but I'm still LOL @ telling ppls from Alabama what is done in the south!!!

Sandra Lee is completely insane, I mean I can only assume she actually IS a Stepford Wife.

precisely. she takes martha stewart's iciness/"perfection" to a whole new level. i can't imagine what hell would break lose if fans were invited on the show.

What is the point, exactly, of Sandra Lee's show? I can kind of come up with some kind of point for all of the rest of them. But Sandra Lee is weird, like she takes lil debbies and puts new icing on them and then puts doilies on a table while speaking in this weird monotone. And that's a show? I don't get it.

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (allyzay), Monday, 28 August 2006 20:25 (nineteen years ago)

And that's a show? I don't get it.

neither do i! it's a magical cooking show to cure the feminine mystique! mainly via liquor! [her drinks, though i've never tried one, are most likely responsible for countless pregnancies!]

i welcome the return of the eisenhower era! bring on the ozzie and harriet!

Nigella's cookery show on Englander Channel 4 was absolutely fucking useless. The whole thing was shot on shaky-cam style a la nypd blue/homicide life on the street, and every time she waved her arms about, which she did a lot, the camera viewpoint would track them, heeling off to the left or the right in a seasickness-inducing manner! Yr supposed to watch the prog and get inspired to either make the food, or more likely buy some of her range of sig. cookware, not to a/feel motion-sick &/or b/get annoyed by her passive-aggresive boasting about her wonderful lifestyle, feh.

No! It was more "You're just jealous of her, LOSER." only much more verbose, and there were a few of them all at once, so I figure the thread must have turned up on some pro-nigella board.

Here is the thread:

Nigella Lawson - classic or dud, dahlings?

For random googlers, it doesn't anywhere near match DMB in quantity, but it nearly makes it in idiot-quality.

responding to someone upthread: bobby flay is a total douche. i saw one of his six (?) shows where he was basically just getting tanked "tasting" vodkas at some swank vodka bar. nothing against vodka, but wtf?

his "throwdown" show is to food what gentrification is to working class neighborhoods, imo. i guess that makes him the robert moses of foodtv.

― blackmail (blackmail.is.my.life), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 14:13 (nineteen years ago)

I posted it on Ian's myspace xpost

― Machibuse '80 (ex machina), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 14:14 (nineteen years ago)

nobody ever believes me, but bobby flay wasn't always a massive prick on food t.v. he turned into one like rocco. he was watchable on the early chillin' and grillin' show. even sorta humble! course he was paired with the biggest asshole whoever lived, jack mcdavid from philly on that show, so anyone would look good in comparison. and nobody knew who he was, and he didn't have his schtick down pat. jack used to take great pride in making all his female employees cry at his restaurants. his fake cracker dimwit routine was the worst. but, yeah, bobby quickly became an unwatchable monster.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 14:44 (nineteen years ago)

his old show (that was on on lifetime when i used to get home from jr high) was bearable...is that the one you mean scott? i can only sort of remember it, but i watched it when it was on

is to food what gentrification is to working class neighborhoods

--ha! and wheres his place? like south 2nd and Kent or something?

― bb (bbrz), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 14:50 (nineteen years ago)

it was the one where jack would cook with charcoal and bobby would cook with a gas grill cuz he was a city slicker and jack would make fun of bobby's gas grill for half an hour. bobby would kind of lay back and be cool while jack acted like an idiot. after that though, the focus was all on bobby, so i guess he felt like HE had to be the idiot. and, you know, he kinda is an idiot. a rich one though with a successful empire and all that. i think his next show was the kinda playboy mansion/swinger cooking show where he would have babes watch him cook stuff or whatever. i stopped watching the food network around then.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 14:58 (nineteen years ago)

hmm, that sounds kinda right...was it set outside?

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 15:06 (nineteen years ago)

My bro-in-law met Bobby Flay once at this bar, he was all "hi Mr. Flay, I am a fan" etc calm and collected. My bro-in-law's brother got back from the bathroom, saw who bro-in-law was talking to, snuck around the room, and apparently tackle/hugged Flay from behind.

oh man i would love to see giada at geno's, ordering a steak. she's been turning up the "authenticity" recently, maybe to defuse the cuban missile crisis we've imagined here.

fwiw, ina garten has all the same production values, but weighs as much as nigella and giada put together [well, not quite.] why i have to watch that show when there's doubtless another great makeover show on another channel is beyond me. [oh please could someone make comcast stop providing such inane content!] oh, you say this is "comcast country"? thanks for nothing gov. rendell!
