Here's a holiday diet tip from expert Food Network chef Giada de Laurentiis: spit everything you eat into a pretty little bucket. According to Page Six, Giada maintains her "size 2" frame because when she films her show, "she never eats. Never."
Last week, a good ol' boy chef named Lenny McNab won the current season of Food Network's reality show The Next Food Network Star, which makes it a bit awkward that the history of a hilariously vulgar message board poster that appears to be McNab includes the proclamation that he'd "fuck" one of the network's…
Food Network has just announced it will not renew Paula Deen's contract when it expires at the end of the month. Some Paula Deen fans cannot believe this, for who among us hasn't fantasized about dressing our employees up like Antebellum slaves at one time or another? Many of them have taken to the channel's Facebook…
The Dowager Butterworth, Paula Deen, has allegedly taken an interesting tactic in defending herself against that explosive lawsuit filed by a former employee, accusing her of racism, sexual harassment, and assault: the National Enquirer reports she's just given a deposition in which she admits that "Yes, of course"…
On Sunday, the Food Network aired Sandra's Halloween Wonderland, an hour-long special from Semi-Homemade Cooking host Sandra Lee. To say that the program—which featured half a dozen costume changes and nearly twice as many cocktail recipes—was a train wreck would be an understatement. But don't just take my word for…
The Food Network's resident lightning strike victim Guy Fieri, host of the popular carb porn show Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, is, shockingly, a complete jerk. According to one alt weekly anyway.
Three days after the internet shamed Ina Garten for rejecting a pediatric cancer patient's Make-A-Wish request to cook a meal with her, the Barefoot Contessa has agreed to fit a 6-year-old leukemia patient into her busy schedule. After twice rejecting Enzo Pereda's request, Ina is now pleading ignorance:
Rejoice! The Barefoot Contessa recap is back! On today's brand new episode of Ina Garten's rich (in many ways), televised culinary compendium, East Hampton's HBIC sank her teeth into—and got some intense pleasure from—a cornucopia of good eats.
Boy oh boy was yesterday's all new episode of Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa a doozy. There was meatloaf, deviled eggs, icebox cake and more—all with the volume turned up, obviously. Come in, watch some videos, stay a while!
Because last weekend's Alec Baldwin-starring installment of Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa was such a hit around these parts—and because why the hell not—I decided to recap yesterday's all-new episode! Picture this: Ina and Jeffrey in a steak throwdown.
Barefoot Contessa star Ina Garten is a Gawker.TV favorite—remember?—and my personal hero. On yesterday's episode, Garten held a luncheon for some women who donated $100,000 to charity to eat her food. Oh, yeah—Alec Baldwin did the shopping.
Even casual cable television viewers have probably noticed how oddly prevalent ghost hunting shows are. Every network seems to be getting one, so here are five made up shows that are almost certainly on their way.
You may not know that actress, food blogger, and all-around awesome lady Debi Mazar is hosting a new show on the Cooking Channel called Extra Virgin. To celebrate the launch, she taught me how to make pancakes!
For those of you who haven't been watching The Next Iron Chef all season (everyone but me) you may not know that each episode has an overarching competitive theme. Last night's? HONOR. And Thanksgiving! Who finessed the best?
How does one make a clip of Paula Deen crafting her infamous Krispie Kreme Burger even more terrifying than it already is? Apparently, by slowing it down and adding an eerie soundtrack. Seriously, guys, this is full-on creepy. Watch inside.
Celebrity chef Paula Deen reaaalllyy loves the food she cooks. Watch as she takes a sensual bite of her baked potato with mushroom sauce and excuses herself to spend a little personal time with it.
When someone asks what television shows you watch, it's pretty likely you go for the good stuff — Mad Men, The Wire. Because it makes you sound smart and you do actually watch those shows. But mostly, you watch fluff.
Or he could be! In a movie. Also today: You Lauren Graham fans will have reason to celebrate, another British TV show gets dragged over to the States, a new food channel, and Curb Your Enthusiasm enthusiasm.
Finally! A food channel for people who realize food is as much about chaos and death as it is about overweight southern ladies endlessly chattering. The new Cooking Channel is to the Food Network what Ultimate Fighting is to WWF.
Do you know Ina Garten? If not, you should, and the following videos will prove why. Garten hosts Barefoot Contessa, the wildly popular, wildly insane Food Network program, and she's not afraid to let her quirks shine. Inside, a tribute.
