Who is your favorite celebrity chef?

**Katybird** · 10-28-2006, 05:04 PM

My favorite is Paula Deen. I just love her down home southern style and any cook who adds real sugar and lots of butter to everything is my kind of gal. Who cares about those old coronary arteries anyway, LOL

Paula Deen is my fav. My DD15 loves to watch her, too. We ate at her restaurant in Savannah about 2 years ago. Delicious food!

I voted for Rachael Ray. She's down to earth, not fancy, just like me! I also like Sandra Lee (Semi Homemade).

Paula Dean here. (my dream is to eat at her resturant some day )

I love love LOVE Gordon Ramsey. He's so blunt and upfront. He is a lot of fun to watch. Wouldn't want to cook for him for anything, but

would train under him in an instant.

I love Rachael Ray, I've made several of her recipes and they turned out great.

**pqb57** · 10-28-2006, 08:13 PM

I like Racheal Ray because her cooking seems like the stay at home cooking that I do.

**Neeley** · 10-28-2006, 10:04 PM

Paula is my fave just because she looks, talks and carries herself like my aunt Helen who passed away 10 years ago. When I watch Paula I feel like I am watching Helen and it brings a smile to my face. I wish I could meet her. There have been times I have been missing Helen and I watch Paula and feel better again!!

I would have say Paula Deen. I've got one of her cookbooks and I just love it.

Out of that group my pick is Paula Deen, I love the way she loves food.
Least favorite is Rachael Ray, she yells too much and is everywhere I turn. Enough say I. I've never gotten over her so called Thanksgiving Dinner in an hour, some things shouldn't be rushed.

Not on your list are a couple fav's of mine...I enjoy watching Alton Brown (Good Eats) , Gaida De Laurentiis (Everyday Italian), Sandra Lee (Semi Homemade Cooking)

Another Paula fan here. I like her because she seems so down to earth, not stuffy or pretentious at all. Her recipes are also very easy and I actually know what all of the ingredients are.

**Katybird** · 10-29-2006, 11:10 AM

LOL, I think we are definately a Paula fan club here. She is such a hoot. I just love her.

**guest32** · 10-29-2006, 01:33 PM

Not a Paula fan....Not a Rachel fan....

I love Alton Brown

His Feasting on Asphalt series was awesome!!!

**kabin63** · 10-29-2006, 01:40 PM

Of the ones listed I like Paula Deen. I also like Tyler Florence.

I absolutely loved the Japanese Iron Chef, I miss not seeing Michiba, Chen, & Sakai almost everynight. The American show isn't too bad, but they spend too many episodes with either Flay or Botali. I wish they showed Morimoto or Cat Cora a bit more.
