Actually I read something similar on another forum. Someone had a friend who worked on the production of her show and they said she literally never eats, other than taking bites for the camera. I don't remember anything about spitting the food out, but it wouldn't surprise me.
Oh, I'm sure she swallows. She just goes to the restroom between takes and pukes it up.
I used to watch the food network everyday, but think many of the programs are over kill. I never was crazy over Giada, but she isn't over kill as much as Guy and originally Rachael. Right now, if I am in the mood to watch, I like programs liked: chopped and the future stars type or worst cooks;something entertaining. I do enjoy Pioneer Woman as well. There are a few others, but the channel needs some new faces and new ideas.
After reading this thread, maybe I am happy that I do not have a TV.
The hardest people to watch on the Food Network (when I am in a hotel) are the Barefoot Contessa and one of the original food show hosts - David Rosengarten. Their programs reek of total snobbery.
The MOST enjoyable show was Sara Moulton's Cooking Live. She produced recipes with a reasonable number of ingredients that were reasonably easy to prepare. She was one of the few chefs - Curtis Aikens being the other - who inspired you to get into the kitchen and cook.
De Laurentiis studied at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris,[1][3] with aspirations of becoming a pastry chef; she is a self-proclaimed chocoholic. After returning to the United States, she became a professional chef working in several Los Angeles restaurants, notably the Wolfgang Puck-owned Spago. She later worked as a food stylist and was contacted by the Food Network after styling a piece in Food & Wine Magazine in 2002.
Oops...well I guess I learned something today. I just assumed she was hired because of her connections and hooters, I guess.
I love Lidia B, I want her to adopt me. I would love to spend the holidays at her house!.
We ate at Guy's restaurant in Santa Rosa (the original one) and it was not a good experience. The restaurant was so noisy, you couldn't hear the people at your own table without shouting (and it wasn't even crowded??). It was also freezing cold in there, and since I like spicy dishes I ordered one and it was so hot (spicy) that it was inedible, even by a fire-eater like me.

Sarah was the editor of Gourmet or Bon Appetit (can't remember which) magazine at one time. I always loved her show. She makes everything seem simple and doesn't get all snobby on you.
Martin Yan was fun (although he drove me crazy with his "tiny bit of..." every other sentence). I met him and have an autographed copy of his cookbook. Nice guy, but his accent was much less in person than on his show....curious.
Giada seems to be more interesting and likable when interacting with other FN hosts. Especially when wine is involved......
Ina's attachment to Jeffrey this, Jeffrey that...Jeffrey Jeffrey Jeffrey, cracks me up.
As for that tribble on meth with too much bling, if I see him stick his dickbeaters into one more food item being prepared for others, I think I'm going to go ballistic. If you haven't noticed, just watch.
