Giada De Laurentiis vs Rachel Ray

[Capt Caveman]

Flipping thru the channels I caught Iron Chef America with Giada De Laurentiis vs Rachel Ray.

Each has a regular Iron Chef assisting, Bobby Flay with Giada and Mario Batali with Rachel.

The secret ingredient is Cranberry.

Just started, so far Giada is winning with Presentation - she's much better looking compared to Rachel Ray.

rachel ray usually dumbs down recipes for the sake of quickness and I have always doubted her true culinary skills. now even though they paired her with a great Italian chef, I was impressed.

 

[BlackTigers]

Rachel and Mario win, saw it last week.

 

[JEDIYoda]

I thought Rachel and Morimoto win?

 

[Iron Woode]

[FoBoT]

no no no

WE WIN

giggitty giggitty

I don't get peoples' fascination with Giada. The bite of food she takes once a week on her show is all the girl eats, my god... can you imagine hitting that?

"Oh yeah baby I..." *SNAP* "Omfg, are you ok?"

Rachel is quick to admit she is a home cook and not a trained chef. However, I find her recipes are geared more towards everyday people than those of most of the other talent on FN. The compliment that she gets by one of the judges that she is a chef regardless of training is indicative she has a natural talent for it.

This weekend, Iron Chef is supposed to have a contest between Cat Cora - Paula Deen and Tyler Florence - Robert Irvine for the best desserts.

Giada has a rack that can feed a village.

It was really Batali vs Flay. Giada and Rachel didn't do much more than stir.

She is too skinny for my taste and her head looks too large for her body. I prefer Rachel because she is shapely, yet not fat. Rachel has a better personality and is some one that you would want to have a beer with. Giada seems kind of stuck on herself to me.

The recipies are Giada's and Rachels as are the plating designs.
