LouderThanaBlog: It must be said... rachael ray is the "My Humps" of the culinary arts
LouderThanaBlog: goofy, derivative, highly annoying and an insult to the real pros
KoolerMoeDee: she would get torn to shreds on 'Iron Chef'
LouderThanaBlog: here's a question
LouderThanaBlog: is being rachael ray's fiancee worth the gravy train he's about to jump on?
LouderThanaBlog: imagine 7am on a saturday "woah! EVOO! that's so cool! giggle giggle!"
IMSwayzeCrazee: what's 'evoo'?
TheCoolerBlog: Extra Virgin Olive Oil
TheCoolerBlog: ray-style
IMSwayzeCrazee: kill me now
TheCoolerBlog: she's going to market it
TheCoolerBlog: it will be sold in every Target known to man
LouderThanaBlog: SHOP HERE  http://www.famousfoods.com/rarayexviolo.html
TheCoolerBlog: the estates in italy who have been making oil for generations are drowning their sorrows in grappa
TheCoolerBlog: Rachael Says “EVOO is extra virgin olive oil. I first coined "EVOO" on my cooking show because saying "extra virgin olive oil" over and over was wordy, and I'm an impatient girl-that's why I make 30-minute meals!”
DishUpontheStars: say what you want...we use her 30 minute meal recipes all the time at home...they are easy, they are quick, they use ingredients i can purchase without a problem and I can pronounce, they are delicious
DishUpontheStars: and she wouldn't be getting the big deals if people didn't love her

Too Hot In the Kitchen?: What's your take on Rachael Ray? Fun and entertaining? Ear-piercing and annoying? Fry your fish here.

Cooler Heads Prevail: Highlights From Your Comments:

RobDCorp: Ok, I have to say that LouderThanaBlog is absolutely annoying, pretentious, and typical of a wanna-be food critic.
RobDCorp: I enjoy Rachel Ray, her meals make sense, and yes, she may not be the most inspirational, awe-inspiring, five star chef in the world, but she is probably a hell of a lot better than most, and thirty minute meals that actually taste better than a can of tuna and a banana are aces in my book.  

TruthLivn: HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  BACK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  She makes cooking fun!!!!!!!  You don't like her joyful spunk then don't watch her, no big loss, she has plenty who are watching!!!!!!

ArtChiatt: Wise up girl!  After hearing EVOO for the tenth time it is no longer cute.

italianboy11473: Its like kitchen porn

  What makies Rachel so good is her childish ways & being able to get her message across simply to the masses.
  No high tech here.

  IMO She's very annoying. Sure, she can cook and has a show of Food Network and a few books, but I find it hard to listen to her.

  Love her cooking - great ideas, easy, fast, cheap, easy to find, etc. - but i don't like her she id to weird, anyone who laughs their own jokes has og ta mental problem, i son't like the way she talks to laughs at herself, or the jokes she tells, i really can't stand watching her take that bite at the end of the show......how artificial. But LOVE her cooking.have made some of the reciepies myself
