Outré cuisine: Is "weird old guys cooking" the new culinary trend for 2007? In addition to Christopher Walken's surreal roast chicken video, David Lynch cooks quinoa in the DVD extras of Inland Empire. [Madison Capital Times] Rachael Ray is looking to buy a house in the Hamptons. I'm assuming that this is the kitchen in the guest house.

Beginning to feel like Rachael Ray will endorse anything and everything? Banterist's Brian Sack does and so he's made a downloadable one-page contract that you can use to get Ray to endorse whatever it is you're selling, no questions asked. Each deal includes goodies like photos for your store displays and a life-size cut-out, but perhaps most importantly, "all endorsements include a book featuring your product being used in the preparation of a dish with an adorable nickname like Never Be Lonely Stew or Put The Kids To Sleep Salsa. Rachael will also include your product in her prayers." [via adfreak] Previously: EVOO, And Then Some, Tasting Rachael Ray, Rachael Ray Drinking Game, Rachael Ray - love, hate, ignore,...

Anthony Bourdain has a new rant up over at Ruhlman, on the disaster that was the Food Network Awards: It is a measure of how seriously crack-brained, rapacious and evil the Deep Thinkers at Food Network must be that I find myself--yet again--in deep sympathy with their stable of stars. Last night, during the breathtakingly awful, interminable cruelty that was The Food Network Awards, I even found myself feeling bad for Rachael Ray. YES, friends. Rachael Ray. If nothing else, Rachael's BIG now. Network talk show-- doing- well- in- ratings- Big. Own magazine Big. Friend-of-Oprah Big. So, how must it have felt for her to stand up there in front of what appeared to be a halfway empty room...

Even those of you who've never seen a Rachael Ray show in your lives probably know what EVOO is, but I'm guessing not all of you are internet nerdy enough to get what EVOOMGSTFU means. (This is not a bad thing necessarily, as it means you likely get outside more than I do.) Well, not only does Matt Finarelli of Deglazed explain the acronym, but he also shares someone else's hilarious best guess of what it could possibly stand for, which actually might be better than what it really is....

Tasting Rachael Ray by Naomi Lebowitz is a video composed of Ray's money shots after tasting something on her Food Network show $40 A Day. Lebowitz used clips from more than 30 episodes of the show to make the video, which is a fun watch whether you love or hate Rachael Ray. [via Gawker]...

Yesterday we linked to Michael Ruhlman's response to Anthony Bourdain's Food Network rant, today we point you both to the return of serve from New York Magazine's Josh Ozersky in defense of Rachael Ray: "We don’t think this mandarin hauteur has any intellectual basis. Aside from the fact that it is unbecoming for a privileged and educated man to sneer at his own countrypeople, even by the standards of practical gastronomy his complaint doesn’t hold water. Rachael Ray and Sandra Lee are culinary lightweights, as they would be the first to admit, but they’re a product of — and engine for — people’s love for food. (...) For an amateur, taking tips from Rachael Ray is no less legitimate than...

Michael Ruhlman discusses the online fuss generated by Anthony Bourdain's thoughts on the Food Network's hosts: "And the passion itself—over shows you don’t even have to watch. You’ve got to listen to George Bush; you don’t have to listen to Rachael. My god people care about this stuff. But will the food network listen? Not likely. They work according to their own methods, whatever those are. They’ve made their decisions based on something, and that something has resulted in the peculiar offerings addressed in Tony’s post. Clearly they know that the way to America’s vast girth is through mediocrity." (Who's your most/least favorite food personality on Food Channel? is still a hot topic in Serious Eats: Talk, go add your...

Anthony Bourdain shares his thoughts on the Newer, Younger, More Male-Oriented, More Dumb-Ass Food Network over at Ruhlman's, a few choice bits excerpted here: On Mario Batali: "Oh, Mario! Oh great one! They shut down Molto Mario--only the smartest and best of the stand-up cooking shows." On Rachael Ray: "We KNOW she can’t cook. She shrewdly tells us so. So...what is she selling us? Really? She’s selling us satisfaction, the smug reassurance that mediocrity is quite enough." On Sandra Lee: "Pure evil." (His "IRON CHEF AMERICA match-ups I’d REALLY like to see" are pretty amazing, I'd watch them even on Pay Per View!) We've had a related question over in Talk for a few weeks, if you haven't chimed in...

Okay, so Rachael Ray didn't create these recipes or even pick them out herself (they're by David Lawrence), but according to super fan blog Everything Rachael Ray, these are the Super Bowl XLI party recipes from Every Day With Rachael Ray magazine (YYMMV = your yum-o mileage may vary): Mini Franks with Smoky Ketchup and Maple Mustard, Black-Bottom Cupcakes, Pulled Chicken Sandwiches and Sweet and Salty Kettle Corn....

I know it's not even noon yet, but I want to start playing right away: "1 sip 'EVOO,' 1 sip 'Guys,' 1 sip 'Sammie,' 1 sip 'Healthful.' "...
