Executive Chef
I think since I made one of the first comments about Rachel Ray, perhaps I should say why I dislike her. As long as she had one show and it didn't come on every other time slot, I was okay with her, but when she got so many more time slots and got sillier, I just couldn't take her. It seems they want to use her in every possible situation and that gets very boring to me. I want information when I watch foodtv, not comedy or silliness or interviews. I like Giada - she is very informative and even shows the party she has prepared the food for and I like Ina Garten's program some of the time. She tends to get a little silly also, going really overboard at times. But, perhaps my life is too simple to understand some of what these people do. I enjoy good food, good friendships (that don't expect me to come up with all new dishes each time they are invited) and not having to make a trip to every store in town to turn out a good meal.
