Seriously...Bobby is an arrogant, rude, obnoxious, egomaniac. You want a talented BBQ guy...Jack McDavid...remember him on Chillin' and Grillin'...Bobby was continually criticizing and made fun of him...for cooking over charcoal instead of gas!
I can't watch her anymore(or any of them)...foodtv has made her into an exaggeration of herself with the continual y'all's. And I am embarrassed for her on paulas party...the only thing missing is a clown suit!
This recipe is an Emeril rip off...even the ingredient list is the same!

I like to watch her show just to see how she's going to top herself from day to day. Bacon wrapped mac and cheese in a deep fryer. I missed the fried butter balls episode. Too freakin funny!
Paula Deen???? I don't get it!!! Her incessant cackling, sticking her tongue into chocolate fountains, and please, stop with the y'alling.
The worst thing?... her recipes. Soooo bad.
She's Food Network's performing monkey and... they love her. Apparentley, so does the audience. Yeesh.
You can fool some of the people some of the time...but Paula Deen fools all of the people all of the time.
Paul Deen, please, just go away....and take Guy Fieri with you.
OK, OK..we certainly want to eat a bit healthier and be honest: do y'all eat this stuff every day? Once in a while all this fat and cholesterol is good for your soul..but that's about all it's good for. My grandmother, rest in peace ate full-fat everything; half & half, sour cream, cheeses, an occasional piece of red meat and lived to 95.
So a LOT of this is genetic and hereditary.
BTW..Jerzee; My mom is from South Cackilacky and they just got an IGA!
I have not made Ree's olive bread, why you ask? From Ree's Blog quote "The Cast of Characters: French bread, green olives, black olives, green onions, butter, real (not low-fat or fat-free) mayonnaise, and Monterey Jack Cheese." That is why! It is a Paula Deen recipe. Sitck a buttah, mayo, cheese....comprende. All recipe deal breakers for me.
Now I lived in rural NC, and I was not near anything that resembled a good grocery store other than the freaking piggly wiggly. I managed to get good ingredients. How did I manage that? Survey says, I got in the car and drove (sometimes for over an hour) to them. Some I ordered by phone or catalog and some kind people (bless you) shipped to me. I do not accept that she cannot get good ingredients. I will not accept that as an excuse. In the early 90's there was not an "internet" and I got them in Cow Patch North Cackilacky.
The piggly wiggly had three kinds of cheese grated kraft, yeller and owrenge.
Giada doesn't appeal to what I would cook because like her I am italian and I cook those things all the time. I am the everyday italian. Everyday I am "italian".
Jerzee: I hear you. I have a problem with Giada who is now "Boob Girl" in my household. Watch the early shows, then look at what's been filmed in the past 2 years. Food Network is trying to make her look sexy where ever she goes and wherever they film her. The center of the camera image is not on the dish she is preparing, but on her chest 100% of the time. And it's clear that they have a fisheye lens on her because her forehead has become enormous! OGM what would Julia say!!!
Check that: Clarissa and Jennifer rode up to every venue in a motorcylce with a sidecar. The white van showed up later with their provisions in it later. Sorry - senior moment!!!
RichardCrystal: I DO remember the Two Fat Ladies on BBC and I absolutely adored them showing up in their little delivery van and setting up parties.. The were constantly bickering about each other to the camera! They were so entertaining in their delivery. Their show was precious, not because of the recipies and entertaining tips, but because of the way their personalities played off each other, and because of the whispered quips the camera picked up on as they bantered. I miss them. This show was the closest thing to a real small-scale catering experience!
I'm new here, and don't know Pioneer Woman. I am intrigued. If she is cooking up this stuff for people who are not living a corporate, reticent life style and are physically active for 8+ hours a day, then she may be doing a good thing. You need carbs and fat to run on if you truly do the daily physical labor that our grandparents and great grandparents did. My grandfather would have collapsed on a South Beach diet while he walked to the coal mines! However, if the title of Paula's show was something like "Cooking for Your Cowboy" I wouldn't have the same problem. She's presenting this fare as a daily routine to the average American family!
@Tara Tot: I'm with you...:) So, you've made the Olive Bread I see...I've always wanted to, but my BF HATES olives. I figured I would eat the ENTIRE thing-it looks that good. Maybe I should have my best friend over for dinner and make it. We LOVE olives. When we used to frequent the bars, we'd ask the bartender for just olives.:)
I love both Paula and Ree! But what do I know? I'm just an Okie who loves to cook, read, and watch interesting recipes from interesting personalities. ; )
Seriously though, have any of you made Ree's olive bread? It's just about one of the tastiest things to touch my lips... Butter, cheese, and olives. Yum!
