FUCKING SICK AND TIRED OF GUY FIERI!!!!! Good Grief, enough already! A little of him goes a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnng way. A VERY little.

And I also agree with you about Paula Deen. I found her grating as well. Not as obnoxious as Guy Fieri, but she's not my style, either. And her cooking would send me straight into late-onset diabetes too. It killed my dad, slowly and rather horribly. We have a really serious obesity problem in this country, and I don't think cooking like that is a good thing to glorify anymore. Not saying make it all go away, and of course, that's impossible anyway. But I don't think it should be celebrated the way she did.
