Rachael's Rays

Bobby Flay is a cocky bastard.

I have a love/hate relationship with Rachel Ray. I have made a few of her recipes and they turned out well. Yes, they were easy, but that's what I was looking for - easy and good. Rachel Ray's pork tenderloin for 8 from 30 minutes or less is spectacular. People are usually very impressed when I make it.

Rachel really pissed me off on $40 a day when she went to Durham/Chapel Hill, NC. She didn't go to any of the best spots. BUT what pissed me off the most was that her afternoon snack was a bag of Cracker Jacks at a Durham Bulls game. A BAG OF CRACKER JACKS!!!! I was appalled. I love Durham Bulls games, but when I go to them, I have a Katie's Pretzel - a local staple. You can get Cracker Jacks anywhere. I was so pissed at her for that.

Oh, and on $40 a day, she never really takes a real bite of what she's eating.

I love Paula Dean - I make a lot of her stuff because I like to add a southern flair to things. I love Alton Brown because he is so funny and his recipes tend to be pretty good, even if I don't have a kitchen aid mixer decked out with flames.
