My wife has met a number of the chefs at work functions. I get invited occasionally. I met Jamie Oliver - nice guy. She recently met Ricardo. I noticed though, that I only found out Nigella was in town for a meet and greet, from the news. The wife was invited, but did not go...When I asked why we didn't go to that one...all I got was an icy stare...lol...guess I been drooling on the TV screen too much...

How 'bout Gordon Ramsay? he's the one I'd really like to meet.
Really? I think that show is completely fabricated, like most 'reality' TV. The guy I would love to meet is Keith Floyd. Not on TV anymore, but his shows where he cooked in exotic locales of different countries was hilarious. An ostrich attacking his set-up during a sequence in the Outback comes to mind. I asked Jamie about him and he just laughed - he said he was always drunk - he was always pounding the wine back during the show.
Omri said:"Show"? it's not just a one show. Hell's Kitchen is retarded, but Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares is a great show.
Still has too much 'drama' for my liking. If I want drama, I'll watch CSI. I watch cooking shows for tips, and to see how the best do it....or to watch Nigella stir vigorously...
Rachel is irritating, and a chromasome or so off from being "HOT".
Giada is definitely hotter, but she too is a little irritating.
By my count, that de-thrones Rachel for the moment.

Based on physical features Rachel would be good for one thing...
but it would never happen because she never shuts up...

Omri said:Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares is dramatic? do you even get Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares in the US?
I personally like the show, but mostly it's Gordon Ramsay.
Maybe I am confusing shows... We get both, so I'll have a look... and FYI - Canuck is nickname for Canadian...if I was American, my name would be Tepid Yank...
My bad, for a moment I forgot who I'm talking to.Hot Canuck said:
Anyway "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares" is a British show. "Kitchen Nightmares" is the cheap, newer, American version of that show with lots of weird restaurants.
In Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, Gordon helps real lame restaurants with stupid owners and chefs.
not the "I know what I'm doing" American types.
Remember too that pictures are one thing, and reality is another. You can assume that someone looks just about their best on TV, and that in a hand selected photo, they do look their best. (or close to it)
Everyday reality can be a whole lot uglier.

OMG! You voted for Ina Garten! [BASH]First off her name sounds like "In A Garden" so that's strike #1. Then on top of that she's HUUUUUGGEE! I've watched her a few times and you can tell she's obsessed with eating, not with cooking. Ya she likes to cook, but she's addicted to food and LOVES to eat and boiy does it show. I hear little piggy noises when ever I see her.[/BASH]
Sorry, that came out a little harsh.......I really can't stand her.
I hear you on Cat, but not Ina Potowie, lol. I will not hold being pudgy against her, but I just don't like her show or personality. She seems fat and a little snobby.
I am glad, and a little surprised, to see that "Barbie" Sandra Lee wasn't anywhere near the top.

And there was me thinking you liked Clarissa Dickinson off 'The Two Fat ladies'
