Rachael Ray Ugh
Posted by jen July 23rd, 2007 in Jeneral.So today I actually watched an ep of Rachael Ray. Normally I watch Ellen which runs opposite of it here. What a mess.
First she wasgiving out "her" advice on how to keep children from acting out in a car or airplane while traveling. She has no kids. What they couldn't book some magazine expert, those guys will show up for anything.
Next she was demonstrating her 733t (joke) knife skills. Deplorable knife skills. I didn't have a cooking show and mine are WAY better. WAY. I certainly can out dice her any day.
Next she did her lame cooking segment - she made a bacon cheeseburger for her dog. HER DOG. So she made it of buttered toast, a bulgar wheat patty, bacon and cheese. She said the bulgar wheat was because it was healthier than meat. Then she slathers it in bacon and cheese.
Bacon which is full of fat and salt and cheese with fat, dairy and salt, and more dairy and salt in the butter. Dairy and salt are not great for dogs. Not to mention wheat allergies are kinda common in dogs. besides that she's just fed her dog like 1000 calories most of it things they shouldn't eat. Why not just feed him a chocolate onion grape and raisin salad (all toxic to dogs btw, do NOT let them have any. Even a couple raisins have killed dogs, they don't know why).
Anyway so she cut this thing up that she spent so much time stacking just so and crams it into a dog dish and takes it over to her dog who someone is holding stage left on a leash. She offers the bowl out saying how much he "just LOVES" this dish. The dog sniffs and backs away from it. She sit is down and the dog shows NO interest. AT ALL.
Just an incredible show of repeated stupidity. I have no idea why she has a show.
And yes, I expect her fans to attack this post. Bring it on.

Testify! She just tries to hard at “being herself” which seems to indicate that she has no idea who she is other than a suburban short order cook. At first I liked her cooking show- like 9 years ago or something. But even that is too much for me now. Nigella Lawson cooks almost the same way- on the fly, to satisfy cravings, etc. and has so much more calm and class. And she would never be so presumptuous to impose herself on anyone past her brief cooking series and books. And she is also more honest- her recipes are labeled as things like hangover remedies and pout fests.
Wow. That was a stupid show. What the hell was she thinking? I have seen one or two of her shows. She seemed pretty cool to me. Now, this episode sounds like she is having a break down or is snorting wheat flour. What a shame.

Rachel Ray escaped from the Disney Land Diner and is now permanently trapped in happy hell and is torturing us with the results. I can only think that i must have pissed off a cook somewhere any time I’m forced to watch this woman. It’s cooking karma come to bite me on the ass, I tell ya.
Sid’s right. Nigella Lawson all the way. I just want to watch that woman eat, she’s so cool. Way cooler.
What the h*ll happened to her, anyway? When did she become totally obnoxious? I only every saw her on that show where she has like $40 to eat on in one day in a given city. She looked normal, talked normal, seemed normal.
Then one day last winter, I’m snowed in and working from home and I have the TV on in the other room. I hear this horrible female voice…kind of like I’ve heard Oprah do on commercials when she is excited. Kind of like Sargent Carter on the old Gomer Pyle shows:”I can’t Hear YOOOOOOOOOOOU!” This weird intonnation that is like “Wah wah Waaaah WAAAAAAA!!”
Oh. My. Spatula. WTF? Why is she shouting at everyone and just talking and talking and talking?
Trying way too hard. Drives me nuts. Wouldn’t watch her if you paid me. Well, if you paid me, I might. I’m a ho like that.
Sheesh.
i used to like RR, waaaaaaaay back in the day when she was fresh faced and new to the Food Network. now, i can’t stand her. she grates on my nerves so bad. i haven’t watched an episode of her talk show because her voice sends my teeth on edge. i actually wached so much food network that i now hate everyone on it, with the acception of Iron Chef, Good Eats (because i love me some alton brown!), and sandra lee. everyone else annoys the crapola out of me.
I like that Anthony Boudin guy. He is cool. I also like that older italian woman chef who did a cooking show on PBS. Can’t remember her name, but she was the best! I don’t watch too much of food network.
anthony bourdain is on the travel channel now. he’s awesome. i don’t know the woman you’re taking about, unless it’s ina garten? she’s ok, i guess, but not really my thing.
I saw the A&E Biography on Rachel Ray. Her story is pretty interesting, but I also refrain from waatching her because her voice and mannerisms annoy me. Ya either lover her or hate her.
BTW, one of your pin cushions made the front page hand-picked section of Etsy. Congrats!
i dont like her.
she has an annoying grin. :grin:
I’d do her.
are you talking about lidia’s kitchen? i love her show. she was on emeril once..
No, not Lydia’s kitchen. I will have to ask my sister about the name of that show. She was a shorter, chubby italian cook. She was wonderful.
Yeah I had a day off work last week and I saw part of her show when Dr. Phil’s wife was on (I googled to see what she does but it seems that she just “has beauty secrets” and is married to Dr. Phil–so exciting). Robin was showing Rachel what hand cream she uses and Rachel couldn’t open it for like 5 minutes. She actually never managed to open it and just squeeze hand cream out the back of the tube.
Then she said “Oh my gravy.”
Rachel Ray and that Welch’s Grape Juice girl both scare me in that, “I am going to eat your brains” sort of way.
Overseen on my dad’s obnoxious big-screen tv: Rachel Ray has dirty fingernails.
I believe the Italian chef in question, from PBS, might be Biba Caggiano whose show was “From Biba’s Italian Kitchen.”
RR is the most annoying “celebrity” of all times! Please somebody take her off air already!
She’s great if you like all your food to look and taste like dog sh*t covered in vomit …
How does this vacuous person have a “following?” She has a whiny, raspy voice, empty head, can only cook as well as the average person, self-centered but totally into “hero worship” and has absolutely no sense of style. At least she’s doing the right thing for herself by grabbing the money before people wise up and smell the slop.
