So, Rachel Ray and I live this eerie parallel life. No! Seriously! She and I are
practically twins! Two peas in a pod! She likes to cook, I like to cook. She loves to eat, I love to eat! We both use stupid acronyms. Her EVOO is my PBR. I love saying "Yum-O!"
Most importantly, Rachel Ray has said repeatedly that she is not a chef. She considers herself a cook. I'm the same way. To me, a chef is a businessperson who runs a kitchen or a restaurant, someone who has the skill and training to direct others who do the cooking. A chef selects ingredients, writes the menus, and chooses the dishes. I don't have much choice in my dinnerware, but I do like to plan my menu and choose my own ingredients. A chef is always creating new dishes, new tastes, new experiences. More often than not, I find myself slavishly following a recipe or re-hashing some old dish.
I'm just a cook. My home is over a hot stove or a cutting board, or washing up in the kitchen sink. I might tweak recipe here and there or let some creativity leak in to one dish or another, but just like Rachel Ray I prefer to be called what I do. I cook. Let the chefs out there write cookbooks, go on tours, and host talk shows... right, Rachel?

I don't know whether to be aroused or just plain disgusted by this post! Good work! :)
Dude. Seriously? Put some clothes on you, and take some clothes off her!
I say take more clothes off him AND her. Add me to the mix and put him in the middle. FUN!
Wow, just wow...
Saying Rachel Ray isn't a real chef is an understatement. Have to say I think Rachel Ray is the biggest sell out since Emeril. At least he can really cook. She's got 0 skill in the kitchen. Did you see the episode of the Iron Chef where she was the chef and Mario Batali was her "sous chef"? What a joke! He couldn't even get her to cut the veggie right. She, Paula Dean, and the rest are an embarrassment to the culinary world. Look y'all LARD! Of course she's great for ratings. Hey Fox News is ranked most viewed "news show" yet is probably considered the farthest thing from real news of any network. In any case. Dude, those pictures were too much. Hope your next job interview doesn't do a facebook search of you!
Oh. My. God.
OK. I have to say, this is one of the funniest postings I've seen. "Very Chris Farley" (per Sharyn)!
