In all candor, I think she is gross, as is the show itself. It should be called the Nasty Chef. Her humor, which I guess is supposed to be bawdy, is just obnoxious. Sidling up to customers and assaulting them with uninvited sexual banter seems inappropriate at best. Insulting the intelligence of her staff (the "door whores") while presenting herself as the resident idiot on the wine panel was painful to watch. And her VERY ill-fitting chef's coat and stringy too-long-for-a-kitchen hair should be addressed by her handlers. It was a 60 minute cliche; a cartoon of the fat, ribald, unapologetically gluttonous female chef whose alleged charm will overshadow her serious flaws. And the food looked gross too.
