i always see chocolate long johns and i remember eating them growing up! they should be available at Tim Horton's throughout Canada...
Does anyone know what exactly is in a 'Dutchie' donut? they are delicious..and mysterious.
Sex and The City...
The movie was everything I hoped it would be =)
In terms of food..how can we forget the GIANT "I Love You" Chocolate Chip Cookie that Miranda destroyed in seconds?!?!
I didn't realize that she had such a sweet tooth from the series, but it seems obvious after this discussion..
If you want to eat in tune with the movie, I would say chocolate pudding, guacamole and sushi!
What food smells can make you hungry?
PHO
cinnamon rolls
chocolate chip cookies
onions caramelizing
Cook the Book: Nigella Express
I keep a stash of ramekins in the fridge that hold misc small items: lemon wedges, minced garlic, sliced mushrooms, chopped ginger and green onions.
No need to defrost and makes it a snap to cook small dishes (my favorite is garlic shrimp) late at night when the hunger hits!
Also makes it easy to garnish items so it makes the quick dishes you prepared look much fancier.
Eating Out In Vancouver, BC
I've been around the Vancouver restaurant scene and while the food never ceases to amaze me (sablefish at Blue Water Cafe!! Rainbow Trout at NU!!) it is difficult to find something that is exciting and different for an adventure-seeking individual like yourself.
I would recommend
1. Nan-Chuu in Richmond for its delicious beef tartare, topped with a raw quail's egg.
2. Sai-Z, a new restaurant but an upcoming star, on West Broadway for the most exquisite sea foie gras I've ever tasted. It also the first place that made sea urchin sashimi edible for me.They have a reasonable (30ish dollars) seasonal prix fixe suitable for college students on a low budget, and a higher-end omakase menu for that occasional splurge.
Let me know where you end up going!

Spot on, Bill. It's all about the cult of personality and to her credit, RR does not call herself a chef.

Television is about television, not cooking. The top earners on this list have leveraged the initial toehold of a cooking show into great wealth. People tune in to watch someone cook on TV because they're attracted to that personality,not particularly because they want a cooking lesson.
Ray was smart enough to understand that early on and began to build her brand apart from Food Network. Her fans would tune in to watch her scrub a sink.

I think a better title would have been food celebrities as opposed to "Celebrity Chefs..."
I read through the first page of responses on the article and it blows me away how many RR lemmings there are. I am so reminded of a woman who worked for me from Biloxi. She set her TIVO to record Oprah and Dr. Phil every day we were out of town and continually quoted the two. On another forum I used to spend a lot of time on, there was a woman who continually quoted "The View".
Thank gawd I quit drinking kool-aid when I stopped going to band camp.

In Rachel's defense, keeping in mind that I really do not like her, she herself has said on many occassions that she IS NOT a chef and does not consider herself to be one.
Do you have to be on TV to be a celeb chef? I wonder how much money Thomas Keller makes.

moral of the story.. dont believe everything you read. I work for a celebrity chef and his restaurants alone make him more than $1.5 mill a year. not to mention his book sales, endorsements, television shows and guest apparences.. and guys give RR a break!!!
Shes doing her thing, and doing it well. Go Rachel! /the sky's the limit and the ovens the transport to get you there : o

"When did Rachel Ray or Paula Deene become chefs? Cooks? Maybe. But not chefs."
Rachel Ray is not a chef, she's never even cooked in a restaurant, and what she does cook is disgusting (Hotdog Salad for example).
Paula Deene on the other hand, may not be a classically trained chef, but she started out owning and operating her own restaurant and her recipes, though not good for you, are some of the most delicious out there. Paula is a chef, much more so than Rachel.
Granted the only two on this list that I really respect as chefs are Ramsey and Bourdain, but that's because they are real chefs, they know what they want and don't put up with any crap in their kitchen.

@FFC ~ now, now, let's get our - oops YOUR - mind out of the gutter. Actually, Oprah and Retchel both get on my nerves, but everything she touches seems to turn to gold, so I'd grit my teeth , hold out my index finger and receive the precious gold. The way things are going, even a little nickel might help!
p.s. the laugh helped even more - thanks!
