You know I watch food network.
I have it on most of the day
just as background noise
until, of course, Rachael Ray comes on,
then I have to mute that
YUMMO, EVOO, SAMMY, STOUP - spouting
screeching howler monkey.
And when Tater Tot aka Lard Weasel aka
Guy Fieri,
and now affected to Guy Fietti,
nee Guy Ferry,
comes on with his spiked, bleached hair,
his bling,
his bowling shirts,
his sweatbands worn on his forearms,
his sun glasses worn on the back of his head,
his cool surfer dude personae (NOT!),
with his constantly stuffing food into his gaping maw,
and with his catch phrases,
"That's Money!,"
"On Like Donkey Kong!"
and, yes, he actually had
"Rock out with your cock out!"
on his website at one time,
then I just have to turn off the TV,
go into a dark room,
and curl up in the fetal position.
So, with that said,
it was absolutely no surprise
when I found this video
of Pauler Dean
at the
South Beach Wine and Food Festival.
Back in the old days,
this woman seemed to be a nice Southern lady.
Then Food Network got a-holt of her
and she's become a cacklin' , butter-packin',
heart-attack waitin' to happen
whore for the network.
Paula's Party
is unwatchable
what with her double entendres,
sexual innuendoes,
and bawdy, bodacious behavior.
Sticking her tongue in a chocolate fountain
and stuffing food in her guests' mouths
and trying to break dance on the floor
(at 3:19 into the clip)
are several incidences that come to mind.
Food Network, just show me some good recipes
and stop trying to force caricature "personalities"
down my throat.
That is NOT entertainment.

"Rock out with your cock out!"
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Gawd. He didn't really have that on his website, did he?
Lord.
...you know what I like best about Pauler? When she does that po-mouth routine about being a single mom peddlin' sammiches to raise those boys - while standing in front of a $7000 French stove.
