« Hungry for information | Main | Bottoms up » Friday, December 1, 2006Anti-Rachael Rayers
The story in last Sunday's New York Times magazine about the group who dislikes Rachael Ray, which is fueled by the website LiveJournal, is getting around. The anti-RR members are using the name Raytard, says Rob Walker's story in his "Consumed" column. So what is there to say about a woman whose favorite word is Yum-o? She's not the thinking girl's cook, like my heroine, Lidia Bastianich.
She's not a talented, do-good chef, like Jamie Oliver.
And her humor around food and in the kitchen isn't as outrageously delightful as Amy Sedaris.
But consider this: Rachael Ray may not have a solid culinary background, may not know much about other cultures and their cuisines, and may not have much depth. But she just may be swinging a lot of people away from fast food and into the kitchen. You can't bash that. Posted by Sheryl Julian at 06:15 PM
