[quote name='yellowjacket621']I think he lives in Marietta (I live in Alpharetta). I remember one episode showed his house and captioned it as Marietta. Though he goes to stores all around north Georgia, and I've seen a few episodes with him at the grocery stores I go to in Alpharetta. Maybe I'll see him sometime.[/quote]
That's possible. I heard he went through a messy divorce a couple years ago, so maybe he lives in a different house now.
As for the other hosts, I think Rachel Ray is entertaining but seems to have a bad case of ADHD. If I was ever with her in real life for 10 minutes I'd probably want to punch her in the face.
Once...JUST ONCE, I'd like her to put something in her mouth and say, "Jesus CHRIST. That tastes like dog shit!" I'd even accept "Hmmm...That's interesting." But no.
So we're watching "$40 A Day." In this episode Ms. Ray goes to Dallas. Now, from the beginning of the show she makes a big fuss about how it's very important to do research when you get to a city to make sure you hit the best local places. She even demonstrated that the first thing she does when she gets to her hotel room is go online to compile a quirky list of places to eat. Then she says, "When I'm in a town, I like to eat at one place that's a little bit out of the ordinary. In Dallas you think about BBQ and Tex Mex. So I decided to try something French!"
And then she eats at La Madeleine. I shit you not.
She even has the audacity, as she's finishing her meal there, to say "You know, the only way you can find the best places is by talking to the locals!"
Then again, there's this:

The Semi-Homemade lady seems really creepy, like she practices witchcraft.
She's not a witch. She's a Republican with an inferiority complex and a drinking problem.
Paula Deen annoys me. Giadda is something to look at and her food looks good, though I hate the way she over-pronounces almost every word she says. I do like Tyler Florence, Bobby Flay, and Mario Batali, though. But no one will top Alton.
Giadda is such a cock tease. Half of her show is dedicated to gauzy, softly-lit shots of her ample breasts about to tumble out of her distractingly low-cut blouse and onto the cutting board.
Bobby Flay reminds me of that asshole in high school who was constantly trying to pick a fight and wound up getting his ass kicked every time.
