Josh Ozersky And Nina Lalli Join The Fray
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, on Bourdain's Food Network Rant
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 Reviews the Food Network Lineup
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...Super Bowl Party the Rachael Ray Magazine Way
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....Rachael Ray Drinking Game
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.' "...Rachael Ray: I Can Cook A Little, and So Can You
It's so easy to bash Rachael Ray, so maybe that's why I found David Carr's column in yesterday's Times so interesting. My two favorite lines from the story: "But Ms. Ray's folksy approach belies the sophistication of her message. She is part of the cut-to-the-chase genre of media, like Lucky, Domino and Real Simple magazines, and their success is built on this fact of modern life: if people are more secure economically, it is only because they are working longer and harder than ever before." And: "Ms. Ray's recipes may call for store-bought turkey loaf she is really trafficking in the ultimate modern luxury: time." Carr's piece was really the first one I've seen that tries to place the Rachael...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
