I was flipping thru the posts in this site and came across this one...



True Bobby Flay story: We contacted Bobby Flay at the food network for a paid public appearance at a convention in Las Vegas. His demands exceeded most Rock Stars! He wanted $60K to fly in, 2 first class round trip tickets from NYC for him and his "assistant" (read girlfriend) a 4 room suite at the Bellagio, and all he was willing to do was a demo of his choosing that had nothing to do with the dinner being served. We had to provide a restaurant style kitchen set and all production was to meet his standards which would not be sent until he was paid first. He was such an ego maniac that we gave up and hired Rick Bayless for a small fraction of what Flay wanted, and I have no doubt that Bayless is a far better chef.



DOH!!!

I agree with you, Richard. At first, I thought RR was drinking too much coffee. With her one time affiliation with Dunkin Donuts(What happened to that gig by the way?--I heard the commercials were pulled).
That girl is way too hyper to be going on nothing but plain old energy or caffeine. She talks so fast, she has to make terms up to keep up with herself. Hence, EVOO, YUMMO, Delish, etc.

Booby Flake is married to an actress--the name escapes me. I think she's on Law and Order but I'm not sure. My love affair with that guy is over. What an egotistical maniac!! I can't wait to see how obnoxious he can be tonight. More than usual?? He really acts like he's too good for everybody.

GF has beome hotter than I could ever imagine. Did you see the reaction on that South Beach show when he came on the stage? All the audience forgot about BF immediately. I always watch GF's Big Bite during the week and I can tell you, he's got too many things on his plate. He made a million mistakes last week. Some of them really stupid. Have you noticed that his goofy friends always show up and he puts them to work like hired help? I see him as more than an actor than a chef.

In the spirit of NASCAR tailgating, chefs Mario Batali and Rachael Ray have combined forces for a grilling contest where the grand prize winner and a guest will enjoy a VIP weekend at Texas Motor Speedway alongside Batali and Ray. The winner will tailgate with the chefs prior to the Dickies 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race on November 2.

-----------------

And they will get to eat chicken strips/nuggets cooked in olive oil and arugla salad, with orange slices, walnuts and brie cheese.

They will probably cook some gawdawful food that had nothing to do with Texas or Dickies. I get the fat white guy with a pony tail at a NASCAR race but why do they really need her?

I can see her at the start/finish line asking where the racers go when they see the green flag...

He is married to Stephanie March. Who played I think one of the lawyer people on L&W SVU....mariska hargitay, I guess set them up on a blind date.
Ruins the whole show for me now.

I've been reading this thread for a while, and it is insane how much I agree with some of you!
