JSngry Posted September 18, 2004 Report Posted September 18, 2004 No photos here, because she's not a "calssic" babe figure-wise, and the camera does not do her justice. But watch her move, and watch her eyes and mouth when she talks, and tell me that this ain't one fun/fiesty woman, Y'all can take the bimbos. Give me some spunk. Give me some Rachael Ray! Quote
wesbed Posted September 18, 2004 Report Posted September 18, 2004 Any woman who can look this good AND knows how to cook gets my vote. Rachael appears to have an earthly personality combined with a good sense of humor and style. Quote
chuckyd4 Posted September 18, 2004 Report Posted September 18, 2004 This lady (while good looking) is either a true off-the-fucking-wall wacko, or has a really hard time acting even somewhat natural in front of the camera. I find her show highly entertaining, because I keep waiting for the moment when she is finally going to fully crack. Reading through the lines, she strikes me as a high-level neat/control freak who tries to mask her impending doom with a sporadic stream of forced/extremely uncomfortable "humor." EX: On a show cooking goulash - "I just loooove 'passport meals.' What a great way to jazz up a humdrum work week. Who'd have thought you could take a trip to Russia in 30 minutes or less?" Quote
wesbed Posted September 18, 2004 Report Posted September 18, 2004 "...What a great way to jazz up a humdrum work week..." And... she likes jazz! Quote

My guess is that this one can be at least partly blamed on the TV Food Network's writers. These shows are usually more scripted than they look. Quote
Spontooneous Posted September 18, 2004 Report Posted September 18, 2004 I saw her first. She's mine. Quote
Alexander Posted September 18, 2004 Report Posted September 18, 2004 I've met her. Shortly before I departed ol' B&N, she walked into the music department while I was working one day. I recognized her because my wife had one of her cookbooks sitting out on the kitchen table and I'd looked at it just that morning while I was leaving for work (I was thinking that her smile was a little too wide, if you want to know the truth of it). So she walks up to the counter and I start ringing her out. She's paying by check, so I verify by her ID that she was, indeed, Rachel Ray. One of my employees (a Food Channel fan, no doubt) walked up to her and started raving about how much she LOVED Rachel's show. Ms. Ray was very cordial. She thanked my employee, took her purchase and left the store. I never said two words to her. I have to say, she's better looking in person than she is in photos. I've also seen her in the local Price Chopper while I've been grocery shopping (she lives nearby in Saratoga). Quote
ralphie_boy Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 Fine looking woman. And much easier on the eyes than some of the other TVFN chefs like that Fat-Ass Contessa. Quote
jazzbo Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 (edited) Me no havee cable so me just cook by hook and crook. She photographs pretty well though if you ask me! (Rachael is on the left) Edited February 23, 2006 by jazzbo Quote
Dan Gould Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 Me no havee cable so me just cook by hook and crook. She photographs pretty well though if you ask me! If this is the girl we're talking about, I'm impressed, but she's no Nigella. Quote

Upright Bill Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 She's my favorite! However, I can't watch her show because whenever she says "EVOO, Extra Virgin Olive Oil" my wife gets mad at her. Quote
catesta Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 However, I can't watch her show because whenever she says "EVOO, Extra Virgin Olive Oil" That gets on my nerves as well, but I still like watching her. Quote
7/4 Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 Never watched Food TV, but just checked out the 30 min meal. Damm is she cute! Quote

Man, dude I pictured Rosanne in here heaviest days they way you talked! seems like a "calssic" babe to me! Quote
Leeway Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 (edited) My wife is a major Food Channel watcher, so I have seen Rachel more often than I care to. She's part-babe, part-geek (rachel, that is ). The one thing that really bugs me about her is that side-of-the mouth, peculiar way she has of speaking. On the other hand, I have occasionally caught myself wondering if she "cooks" (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) in the bedroom like she does in the ktichen Maybe it's time fore the "Babes of Food Channel" thread? .

Tim McG Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 I hate to tell ya, boyz...but there ain't much up top [wink, wink] to get me riled up. Quote
chris olivarez Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 Yeah but can she cook? Quote
JSngry Posted September 21, 2004 Author Report Posted September 21, 2004 The one thing that really bugs me about her is that side-of-the mouth, peculiar way she has of speaking. Dude - watch her show with the sound off. From start to finish. It is mesmerizing. Quote
blue lake Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 Umm, chocolate and gingham -- recipe for viewership. Quote
Free For All Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 Â And much easier on the eyes than some of the other TVFN chefs like that Fat-Ass Contessa. Hey! She can cook her "fat ass" off! And I suppose you also read Penthouse for the recipes. Quote

jazzbo Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 Good speak, plenty on top for this red-blooded American boy! Quote
catesta Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 She also does the travel/food show "$40 a Day". It's worth checking out. Quote
