Great Iron Chef battle!!! Ray/Batali vs Flay/de Laurentis

[CatWoman]

Has RACHAEL RAY met her match? The Food Network maven appears for the first time on "Iron Chef America," teaming up with Chef MARIO BATALI to take on competing Chefs BOBBY FLAY and GIADA DE LAURENTIIS in the Kitchen Stadium -- and ET is there for all the action!

"It was so intense!" Rachael tells ET. "That hour felt 30 times faster than my 30-minute meals. It went by so fast!"

When season three of "Iron Chef America" debuts February 26 on the Food Network, the host of such shows as "30-Minute Meals" and "Tasty Travels" steps into unknown territory -- and she was not looking forward to it.

"I was really nervous; I'm not a chef," says Rachael. "I don't belong on 'Iron Chef.' To be asked was honor enough, but I really didn't want to do it. Then I thought about it and I said, 'You're so frightened of that show, why don't you give it a shot. Food's food; so, you can't do fancy; you can do tasty!'"

4. Something we FINALLY agree on

[mwdem]

13. Something about that red hair & freckles.

Plus he knows his cooking, and I love his New York attitude.

[CatWoman]

5. Rachel Ray can't stand by herself, obviously.

When they put her up against one of the Iron Chefs ALONE, then I will watch, and believe she belongs in that category. Until then I will continue to see her as an annoying cream puff.

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. I wanna see Rachel go up against Iron Chef Sakai in a crustacean battle

[bertha katzenengel]

8. LOL

Ray will be :nuke:

[eyesroll]

20. Live eels!

:bounce:

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. Whale sperm!

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. Maybe Rachel will tell Batali that she was once in a place just like Italy

except that it was sunny, and she was surrounded by boats.

Good luck, Rachel, trying to cook with a goddamn can or box of prepared SHIT to use as a foundation, you hot little yuckmeister.



"Hey, Mario, can you hand me the EVOO? That's Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I'm making a sammy out of the fwoy grass here with this load of wonderbread I brought."

[mwdem]

9. I think he would have to beat her to death with a ladle, at that point!

[CatWoman]

10. you guys are SO bad!!!

:D

[mwdem]

12. You know you'd love to see it.

Okay, not to death, but a nice spanking!

[CatWoman]

16. boy, would I!!!

:D

[jpgray]

14. The special ingredient should be "turkey"

Since Giada's dad is an expert in the subject of making them.

:D

17. I hate Flay, hate hate hate that pompous schticky testosterone and ego

bloated one-trick pony short-order cooker of crude, unsubtle food thats too complicated and showy and too mango salsa wasabi chipotle trendy-ized crap.

[mwdem]

18. ...and he's kind of pasty, too.

[Rabrrrrrr]

19. He really is a fuckwit, isn't he?

I've watched him on Iron Chef America a couple times, and he never seemed to make interesting food, or to do it elegantly, neither in the plating nor even in his body movements making it.

He comes across as just a dumbass who got high up in the food world because he was more of a vocal asshole than anyone else; not by any merit of his food knowledge or cooking skills.

[patcox2]

22. Its the testosterone and ego that get me

Pumps his fist in the air and screams and yells, jumps around like he just won the superbowl. And the food, blecchh, he ruins good ingredients, stepping all over them in order to be trendy.

I hate tall food too.

25. Headline: Batali murders Ray and Flay with Giada's massive skull.

Every American with a brain celebrates.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

24. Let's hope someone flays Rachel Ray.

I'd watch that in a heartbeat.

26. anthony bourdain
