Giada De Laurentiis: "I'm Not Doing Porn"

Posted by Emily Farris

 

What exactly does the Food Network's Giada De Laurentiis bring to the table? Whatever it is, it's not sex, according to the foodie. 

While she can't describe exactly what it is (except that it's not sex, remember), it's something that other TV chefs just can't do. 

“Porn? I’m not doing porn! What the hell are people talking about? [It’s not] PBS-style cooking. I mean, I love Lidia [Bastianich], but [she’s] kind of boring.  And Mario Batali [I] love to death…but he’s not romantic or sensual. Those are the things I bring to the table.”

Batali is more our type than De Laurentiis, but after watching this clip, we're definitely not thinking about pizza:
