However, Ray is much more than just a celebrity chef and television personality. She has come a long way to achieve her fame and success, so here is the truth about Rachael Ray.

Neglecting a close relatives funeral is wrong. Tipping in the food industry which is your home is inexcusable.

[@MrJoshcc600]

That tipping crap is all internet hearsay. No proof and was supposedly before she was famous. On top that wasn't 10% a good tip in the 90s? Things changed but don't get me wrong I'm not a fan I'm her for the fat jokes but let's be realistic

[@marycamerota3455]

Both my cats took a whiff of that crap and walked away. Buying from her is like buying from China.

[@toneman335]

This hyper "blub ball" is known to stiff wait staff on a regular basis....so shameful.

[@sallyhanley9094]

Why are so many making nasty comments about her weight? It’s not important. People gain weight usually as they age. She isn’t 20’years old these days. If you don’t like the show-fine. But if the reason you don’t like it is because she has put on weight-very shallow!

[@sidihenne6543]

She promotes health books with some of her guests on the show, then later it’s on to Pasta 🍝with lots of cheese on top. She also interferes with her guests when they cook, her hands are in there as well. I always wonder if her long hair is in the way... lol 😂

[@delanakolstad8983]

Hi Rachel when you have your show you dont let your guest talk you interrupt them to much

[@padmasalam5267]

Rachel is biased. She embraces her Italian culture, but ignores her other side, which is Portuguese. Oh well!

[@Davidjon1946]

GreatCall I never noticed that until now that you mentioned it good day from Buffalo New York

[@GodsFavoriteBassPlyr]

She's running her hands through her hair.. which should be up anyway.. and then continues to cook. Extremely unprofessional. Extremely unsanitary.

[@lazybelphegore6748]

Gods2ndFavoriteBassPlyr I agree but I often see “tv cooks” doing things I wouldn’t want to do if cooking for myself and others. You’re not eating the food they are making. I watch tv chefs simply to get the recipes and expertise I lack.

[@amymamabear5227]

Gods2ndFavoriteBassPlyr it’s just a television. Show, she isn’t serving it to anyone e

[@GodsFavoriteBassPlyr]

@@amymamabear5227 - If that's what you need to tell yourself, lol. The first thing you learn in a culinary education setting is not about recipes.. It's about sanitation. Those kinds of habits you don't just turn on or off depending on when the cameras are rolling. This is something she's clealry not conscious of.

[@amymamabear5227]

Gods2ndFavoriteBassPlyr well I understand that as well, and would hope that when she does prepare meals for people she knows better than to do it at that time

[@amymamabear5227]

Gods2ndFavoriteBassPlyr trust me people can certainly act differently when they choose to, and they can do it often and with good duration! Like an addict for example,

[@Agaravalia72]

I just think that she needs to shut up and let her guests talk. Geez just because it's her show she thinks she should do all the talking.

[@peggycreek449]

[@bcsurvivor4713]

It's not hard for me to believe she's not a chef. 1:37

[@2r3notgoodas1]

She never lets you forget she's Italian Decent, she says it thousands times (for white people validation) incase you see her show and mistake her for Latina background or another race.

[@peggycreek4961]

Most Hispanics ( women ) especially is very attractive. You can tell that BITCH is no Hispanic

[@lauralutz4538]

She’s 1/2, Scottish by her Father. What did he do to piss them off?

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

We used to watch her show, but she does too many things that contaminate food (she's always pushing back her hair and then handling the food) so that was it for us! ANYONE who can read can cook. It is creativity with food that makes a delicious recipe that succeeds, that makes you known.

[@workplacewarriordoctorpepp203]

yet you are on here ..... why ? do you like pissing yourself off ? turn the channel !

[@peggycreek4961]

Exactly. I've always said that. If you can read a recipe. You can cook. It's not rocket science

[@FlaMan991]

Her cooking and dog food are interchangeable

[@jimoliver7903]

You can tell from show she is a lush. Always red faced,emotional, and on cloud nine

[@cynthiamullaney]

Plus, she once bragged on her show that while in England with her husband, he asked to see the bartender's recipe book and then walked out with it...that's right, he stole it and she tells the story like it is funny. No integrity .

[@MrL309416]

She always talks over her guests and finishes their sentences. I can not watch an entire show. I have to switch the channel. Please stop talking so much!

[@spoopyboi8226]

O GOD ANOTHER MASHED

[@preshisify]

Rachel Ray is great, and I agree, mugged twice? time to move, FAR, she even covered an entire show or episode on it, but it certainly didn't stop her one bit, she can show me how to cook and welcome in my home or at my kitchen table any day = ) thank you

I love Rachel Ray 💕💕💕 ... Mashed 👌👌👌 Thank-you so much for sharing this lovely video 😍😍😍

[@genevekisson8639]

Yeah she talks too much. If someone trying to explain something to us she’s always butting in and therefore you can’t hear what the person is trying to say. I’m like shut up already

[@elliemm557]

lol 02:17, Even though she is one of my "home girls", NY that is, I can't say she is one of my favorite celebs. I could tell just by her first few shows I had watched, she was no real chef and many times asked myself "why am I watching this?" Always was bubbly, but that could get exhausting after a while. I doubt she could ever do a mannequin challenge for 1 minute.

[@jerzzzeyful]

Saddest part is she was cute when she started.. after some time and money.. you say what the hell happen to her.. wow.. guess they no longer care once the bank roll rolls in..Saddddd

The first rule of cooking is don’t touch your hair face that drives me nuts not sure if the food she cooks but either way that’s a bad thing to do. I see a lot of things when cooking that would never me eat the food. If your hair bothers you put it up.

Me too...and I liked her $40 a day travel show. She started out a lot differently than what she has turned into. I prefer her one woman show in a kitchen setting, no loud audience clapping every 2 seconds and Rach just keepin' it simple.
