Repeat Show - Come on down!
Today’s show was a repeat - and you can catch my original write up here! It originally aired on October 29th, 2007, right after Drew had taken over The Price is Right. And that Philly Cheesesteak Pizza STILL looks good! I seriously need to try that one!
So, let’s see what’s going on elsewhere around the blogaverse concerning Rachael Ray?
Anthony Bourdain has been nothing but consistant in calling out Rachael Ray for everything from her lack of culinary background, to reports that she’s nothing more then a bitch to fans and a hack at best in the kitchen. He’s never shied away giving his opinion on ANY cook/chef - because that’s what he does. However, he did mention that at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival, that he had a surprising run in with Rachael Ray herself.
He prefaces the statement with the fact that his event was a huge success, but he felt diminished and drained by it all. Perhaps he’s not angry anymore. He admits that it shakes you to the core when people you’ve been insulting for years turn out to be decent - not just in general, but to YOU in particular.
Say’s Bourdain:
In the last three, up-is-down and down-is-up days Rocco Di Spirito bailed me out, Emeril Lagasse generously fed me, Jamie Oliver talked child rearing with me for hours. Cat Cora was civil and … drum roll please … Rachael Ray was unfailingly polite. I fear I might even have hurt her feelings. They might as well have worked me over with tire irons. I feel an utter beast this morning.
Way to go, Rachael! you’ve unsettled the beast!
In other news, this week Rachael announced her new Name Brand stock in a box. They don’t even sell her EVOO in my neck of the woods (The trials and tribulations of living in the Frozen (…or, currently, melting…) North!) so I doubt I’ll be able to find this and try it anytime soon. You can, however, buy it online at Gourmet Food Express. Her Stock-in-a-box joins her other signature items, All Italian EVOO, Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, and Balsamic Drizzle. The price for the Stock in a Box - Beef or Chicken, is just $4.95, comparable with the brands I get up here in Alaska.
