Ms. Gillette,
Is profanity really necessary?

Rachael Ray needs to retire early and let some new chefs get a chance on Food Network or should I say the Emeril &Rachael Food Network! Spread the Wealth ! You've both have made way Too Much Money. And Food Network Clean Up Your Act! You've turned your network into a Three Ring Circus. What will you show next? Food Fights on the street!

Rachel looks as tasty as some of her food. I would even lick the dishes.
ps Amelie, I would do you too!!

I am an "average American" and I used to like 30 Minutes Meals, RR was enjoyable and I learned a little with her, but ever since she found her "sweetie" she is just horrible, her "cooking" is bad and even her voice and maneirism are more and more annoying.

First off let me say that Amelie I think you are beautiful, but at times you can be so dark and the glass is half emty at times. I am a male and I like to cook, but hate the clean-up afterwards. When I cook I don't measure things by using measuring cups or spoons I know by sight how much. I have been able to do this for many years and I can whip up a meal from thing I find in thr fridge. So I do know something about cooking. I do agree that Rachael does use a lot of packaged products, but thats the point. Her shows are about quick meals that working folks can put to gether in a hurry. That in fact is the title of one of her shows, "Meals in 30 minutes", I think she does a good job at it too. I think her chatter is cute and maybe she was lonely at one time, although don't see why she is cute and if had been single and younger I would have snapped her up in a second. She is the perfect woman cute, fun and can cook, what more could a guy want? I'm sorry that some guys have responded with negative comments about you and your comments, I know you were only doing a job of writting an artical. I could not do your job, for one thing I have never been good a spelling, my strong suits are math and science. I normally think you do a good job, but do at times disagree with you. So keep up the good work, but try not to be so hard on other people as their differences are what make life interesting.

Raquel Ray is simply a "hottie" and I suspect Amelie Gillette is jealous. Maybe if Ms. Gillette adopted some of Raquel's enthusiasm, she'd become more attractive to the opposite sex, there by enjoying some of Raquel's success both in her business and personal life.

the key to enjoying rachael ray is moderation, in her words, "just a dab'll do ya!" and she certainly is a real cook, not like that semi-homemade woman. she makes cake out of a box.

Rachael Ray is a piece of ass. Quit your bitching. You're obviously jealous of her fame, wealth, and beauty.

This is by far and away one of the sharpest, funniest things I've read on Nerve in a while. That part about not hating Rachael Ray as much as you could is fucking genius. I feel the same way.

Amelie Gilette is originally from Incest Idaho and now lives in the world famous "Brooklyn" or at least she's trying to make everyone think that it is. "There's so much more to Brooklyn than Welcolm Back Kotter Ma! I found my calling. I belong here!" She tries to conceal the fact that her father was an Ecuadorian Llama and that she grew up in a cave......She's a real city slicker now - the only problem is that even though she thinks she's really kool - she can't see through the bullshit - and probably never will. please don't stop thinking unoriginally gal. You Go Girl!!!!

Give Rachel a break - yes she does push her sweetie a little too much but bright moments don't last forever - pretty soon(you never know) She may not be mentioning his name at all, especially after you wrote your article. I'm pretty sick of non-nativenewyorkers who are so ready to criticize people with both guns blasting the second they detect an inkling of unhipness. Rachael seems ok to me....she seems kind of sweet. Another thing you have to realize is that she is making a show for middle americans not "hip" newyorkers. She's not Anthony Bordain for Christ sake! what was she supposed to do with her boyfriend - go to see Echo and the Bunnymen and then have rabbit at le jardin?(good band and good restaurant by the way). If my gal had the power to get me through that overbearing line of tourists to get a frozen hot chocolat, i would consider that romantic - because that hot chocolat is one of the best goddamn things in the world! I doubt she's "harboring some serious hidden anger". you only said that to make yourself look better.......... p.s. - i am not Rachael Rays' husband - lol!i do think she's cute though.

Lay the fuck off, bitch. Just because Rachel Ray is funny, infectious, knows how to cook, and has fun while doing it does not mean that you have to be bitter about it. Maybe if your "sweetie" learned where your g-spot is, you could be as fun as Rachel.

Personally never been a huge fan of Biba but her contributions to the local restaurant scene and to the culinary world at large are worthy and deserving praise rather than ridicule. Your flaming description contradicts Biba's successes and courage that is celebrated in the face of adversity. Yes, she beat breast cancer - something you Ms. Gillette may confront in your future and not do as well. More obvious is your scathing remarks about Biba and Rachael point to your own inadequacies and bitter heart filled with anger, jealousy, and envy. But I digress with a bio excerpt about Biba for those readers not familiar with her:
Over the last 35 years, Biba has published seven best-selling cookbooks, hosted 100 episodes of her internationally syndicated cooking show "Biba's Italian Kitchen," and opened the top-rated BIBA Restaurant, in Sacramento. In 1998, Biba was chosen as one of the six national recipients of the prestigious Robert Mondavi Culinary Award of Excellence. In 1999, the Governor of California and the California Travel Industry selected her as Northern California Chef of the Year.
'nough said... biatch!

Great article. That woman has always bothered me, so much so that my wife thinks I have an unhealthy obsession with her, but I just always found her absolutely unwatchable in a manner that is exceptional for a food show host. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who thinks the kindest thing to do might be to put her down.

nice review - who knew Rachael Ray was such an annoying on-screen personality? I think there are two Rachael Rays, or at least two ways to experience her. I cook (used to professionally) and never watch cooking shows, but I read cooking magazines, and I love Rachael Ray's new magazine - it's one of the least pretentious cooking mags. ever. Her cookbooks are good too. My Mom, who also cooks and also doesn't watch cooking shows stole that magazine from me when I went home for Thanksgiving. It must her manner, because I think she's smart about food.

Your style of writing was very fun to read. I differ from you though in the sense that I am obsessed with cooking to the point where I'm going to culinary school. I thought my friend and I were the only ones to realize how lonely she was until I read this article. That kind of sucks then, because we thought we were being a bit exagerated. Not to continue the gossip, but there was one particular episode where she was talking about how happy she was for her best friend who was getting married and her face told a different story. A bitter one. If you have any other sites you write for or even have one of your own, I would really be interested in reading more of your epiphanies.
