and a person who can't cook. It's like a this girl trying to tell me that panda express is authentic. Sadly, I would say Rachael is an entertaining person, but after being in this industry you would expect her to learn how to cook properly. There should be some passion in cooking, but I personally don't see it. Last time I watch rachael ray she used extra virgin olive oil for cooking, and the problem is that it has a low cooking point. You don't use an oil that has been pressed only once. FYI extra virgin olive oil is usually used for salads, soups, and everything that doesn't revolve cooking due to the cooking point. Normal olive oil is used for such things, and telling people to use extra virgin olive oil in her recipes is a waste of money.

Nope, I think Sara Moulton and Ming Tsai were the OGs of the Food Network. They also had the real Iron Chef in the beginning with the Japanese people, not the crap it eventually morphed into.

[@Friendship1nmillion]

@@spcfl1461 You're right. Him and Jet Telia -> Host of "Chasing the yum" were the 1st to star on the Food network. That show "Chasing the yum" i enjoyed watching {from my lounge-room in Australia} although sadly that show isn't being shown in Australia anymore. You *LUCKY* Americans get to continue to watch that show. 👨‍🏫💯% 🏆📺🔛🥘

[@spiritualempress6691]

God bourdain was such an accurate philosopher. If he had insulted me I’m sure it would sound supremely eloquent and beautiful 😂

[@carrietoo]

Wow. Never knew they disliked her. A friend commented once that her food always looked a mess.

[@everydayrants663]

If Rachael ray and giada got into a fight Rachel ray would Whoopher ass hands down.i think Rachael ray's hotter anyways Rachael ray didn't come from a rich family she worked her way up to where she was to become successful is she a chef know but she used what she knew to her advantage and made herself successful and a household name Jarred is not necessarily a household name also Rachael ray didn't sleep her way to the top

[@wo2847]

I am going to respectfully disagree with you I think Rachel is a short shoulder pad wearing potato Giada is aging way better and Rachel only got her own show because of Oprah

[@amandajmorse4359]

Giada has a serious case of RBF.

[@Ihatethewaythatyou]

That giada chick has the giant head code on. Her body to head ratio is not good, lookin like she belongs in the animated james and the giant peach.

[@wo2847]

Amanda based on your pic you seem the expert on that and DOn’t @ me I will agree with that if you agree with me that Rachel is slowly morphing into java the hut

[@amandajmorse4359]

@@wo2847 😂😂😂 Now that's just mean.

[@America650]

These professional chef don’t relate to regular people! They can take their froufrou food and shove it up their tiny little mind!

[@rahnumaislam1097]

All these chef’s that don’t like her have all done her shows several times speaks volume. At the end of the day she has the power!!

[@GoddessNeith]

Ms Ray has ALWAYS said she could not bake. she never ever tried to hide that. I do remember hearing that when she was starting out with her travel show on eating out on 25.00 a day she was a very lousy tipper.

[@smallpicture]

Cooking shows these days are all about personalities. Food is hardly important at all! Lol!

[@karenwillard1878]

True, all Rachel Ray knows how to make is pasta... that's not a chef, very amateur.

[@mitchgawlik1175]

What channel is your cooking show on, Karen?

[@dianejohnson5216]

They say she is a snob and she not nice to her fans

[@IM125]

That was the appeal with her, her clumsy natural demeanor and capacity to make people think like they too, could cook. All the other chefs might be salty because they spend so much time elaborating on meals, etc and ray made an empire by faking it. I watched her shows as a kid mostly to learn fast cooking recipes and let’s face it Americans love a handout, that’s the reason so many fast food places are popular. Ray could teach you how to fry chicken without flavor but it would be done in under 30 minutes...

[@marktesoro9578]

I’ve always appreciated the simplicity in Rachael’s type of cooking. It was comfortable to follow her quick 30 minute meals.

[@eulyc.959]

She just needs to stay away from mexican food

[@lorriechacon2731]

she should have left all the cooking parts OUT! especially the POSOLE RECIPE ! fashion trends and guests are ok. I even tried a few of her recipes, they all came out gross.

[@grisromero9755]

She dared to cal "pozole" to some crappy dish she made. Her can mixing is revolting

[@werogibson]

Try seeing a pozole made by Rachel Ray would make any Mexican person cringe. Ugh

[@signoracarter7024]

I'm screaming because I just watched Mexican moms reaction to her Pozeole recipe.

[@wendymiller7687]

All this showed me is how many mean girls and gatekeepers there are in the culinary world.

[@NewfieAsianKid]

Its been a long time since I watch Rachael Ray. She was my childhood crush. Seems like she gain weight after checking out her recent episodes. She is one of those chefs that inspired me into culinary.

[@fridakhaos8304]

Rachel ray needs to be CANCELLED. Anyone who knows how to cook should not be using any of her recipes. There are so many great chefs but they have this woman who disrespects cultures on TV.

[@chrisoberg6888]

Chefs are very egotistical. I like Rachael and most of the chefs on here. Can we just let Rachael be who she is? She’s fun. It’s entertainment for Christ’s sake.

[@Coasterdude02149]

Not all of them. Aarón Sanchez is one of the nicest people you'd ever meet. A true chef and incredible food.

[@damandbass]

Rachel cooks like 95% of the people in the world. That's what makes her great to me. She cooks things I can afford. The celebrity haters act so bougie. Things rarely go perfect in the kitchen. I don't have $20,000 worth of spices and fresh herbs in the cupboard. Nor can I afford the expensive tools they have. I'd been done slapped the shit out of Martha, Emeril, Giada, Bourdain and Sara If they showed up in the kitchen acting uppity like they do.

[@bgsquiggy]

Not ONE kind of cook. Jealousy is ugly for others that hate her success. Get over yourselves!!!

[@khangkarim8877]

Once we graduated from Culinary school. We got a diploma of cooking , baking ..or making all Sweets ...etc. But Others never got any licenses of cooking did very awesome cooking too. All depend who will eat your meals that you made...Backgrounds( ... what your parents fed you ...where we came from..countries or class .. of societies..!, Etc.. And the taste plays BIG ROLE, some traditional or culture families eat Sweeter or others more salty or more acidity. Some never eat most seafood ( like Royals in England) and Some never eat Meat ( Vegetarians). Also allergic people refused certain delicious meals....or ....And even How many people could buy what they wanted to EAT or had to buy what are suiting to their income... Some said: We eat to live . Others said We live to eat. 🤔🤫🤭🤗 Many factors more need to be considered.... Different strokes for different Folks. The BEST food for You is the WORST for me. I enjoyed all of your shows in different ways . Some I like some I dislike too. The WORST for you is the BEST for me. BON Appétit !!! And 🙏 thank you to you All for sharing your Unique Experiences with US for caring and loving through this Network.💜🎉🙏🎈🎉👍

[@MrDarthvis]

Between Rachel ray, her personality is what makes her enjoyable and a good person. In the end they’re all chefs whom Mashed is comparing her with. Martha got caught with her untruthful sales claims, Emeril is a fading celebrity (as with any celebrity), Giana is just petty and jelly-look at her clip when she was a guest star on Ellen with the BEAUTIFUL Nicole Kidman, and rip Bourdain lol but you’re mean lol.

[@227Love]

I think people hate Rachel’s energy because she has that dominating high vibe and that poses a threat to them in some way? She’s a little too loud for my liking, but the hate towards her isn’t valid, she’s very genuine and some fakes just hate that I guess, and you can’t please everyone

[@soldanovht]

She is Annoying and Silly. I got news, those chefs were being kind, and so was I.

[@main2333]

My daughter gave me a Rachel Ray 30 min cook book. Did not like the recipes tried. Took longer. Tried the other cookbooks. Really liked them!

[@sonyafox3271]

Yes, people can’t usually prep and cook a meal in 30mins time, it definitely takes longer than 30mins for most meals, unless your making something where not much prepping has to be done. Such as chopping and peeling vegetables.

[@curtistinemiller1560]

The "Shade"of it all.......

[@WillieStubbs]

It's called FOOD Network... not chef network. Most of the stuff chefs cook doesn't appeal to me. Given the choice between a gourmet meal and something my mama whooped up... mom wins every time and so does Ray.

[@tunajune2382]

She knows more than I do, and has much to teach. Besides, she's funny, sometimes unintentionally.

[@fatima80231]

Funny how they all have a problem with her yet they go on her show. How many of them even have a show anymore anyway. I think it’s jealousy

[@douglasghiz1287]

If those celebrity chefs don't like Rachel Ray, Why Rachel Ray shouldn't like them either. They shouldn't like themselves. Nobody should judge the way they prepare meals to families. They should not say anything wrong to anyone.

[@evelynhernandezcamacho3677]

Iam from Puerto rico and i like rachel ray. Cause she like normal people when cooking. She her self. Simple and down to earth. She like every person thay cook. That my coment iam fan.

[@victororozco7727]

Agree as a Mexican she is my favorite but can’t call certain dishes names, I have a crush on her but that doesn’t change the fact she would, let’s say thanksgiving turkey but use tofu instead. She still bae

[@victororozco7727]

Btw I’m only talking about the same pozole video “reference “

[@joselbazcom4221]

I don't care for tv chef's recipes; much less for Rachael Ray's. Her Mexican Pozole recipe is the most disgusting.

[@anjiecoronado4931]

Someone teach Rachel how to make Pozole.

[@billschlafly4107]

I'm not a fan of hers at all but she taps into humanity in some way that resonates. She exposed chefs for the frauds that they are. Eating can be a great experience but lets face it, "building" a sandwich is down right pretentious.
