4 Reasons I Hate Rachael Ray
I know, I know, it’s low-hanging fruit to take shots at Rachael Ray, but she keeps coming up in daily conversation and I’ve gotta get this out of my system. I wish Isa would just challenge her to a boxing match or something.
- She spells her name stupidly. I know, it’s not her fault. I should blame her parents. But every time I see that extra “a” in there, I get the same twinge I get when people spell “Michael” as “Micheal” (being that it’s part of my last name, so I’m a tad hypersensitive).
- EVOO. The fact she can take the enormously annoying acronym-turned-catchphrase and turn it into a marketing gimmick drives me nuts.
- She’s every-freakin’-where. She’s on boxes of Triscuits for Buddha’s sake.
- She’s an idiot. Her cookbook 365: No Repeats (we got it as a gift… it’s being regifted to my sister who, for some unknown reason, not only tolerates Rachael Ray, but seems to like her) is about as vegan un-friendly as it gets. Sure, there’s a “vegetarian” section, but everything’s smothered in cheese. The book is filled with hideously disgusting recipes like Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf Patties, Bacon Wrapped Beef Tenderloin, and Chicken Cutlets on Buttermilk-Cheddar-Chorizo Biscuits, but there is a sole tofu recipe in the book that’s actually vegan. How does she ruin it? By adding this absurd commentary: “I really do not get tofu, but some of my friends do. This is for them.” You don’t “get tofu”?! What is there to get, you moron? It’s a food. Vishnu have mercy.
No more “x reasons I…” or “y ways to…” posts this week. I promise.

Someone needs to start a haters club on Duff and Charm City Cakes. They a f-cking discusting. I saw them put their fingers in their ears and run them thru their hair and wipe their noses on their sleeves all in just one episode. They don’t ever wear gloves. And if you’ve never noticed, when they transfer their cakes they don’t even attempt to cover them. So think about it when you have a window open in the car what happens? Air swirls around. Whats in it? Hair, dust you name it. Now that’s an ewwwwwwww!!! I rather make my own cake then eat someone elses ear wax, hair, snots, and dust balls. Hope you all enjoy this one and can agree. Sorry it’s not related to R.R.
WOW…if you guys hate rachael ray so much why don’t you just switch to a different channel,ignore her,whatever!!but slamming someone for being who they are is just ridiculous.it show’s how ignorant and classless you are.for a nation that’s supposed to be ’sticking together’ you sure know how to rip each other apart…GET A LIFE!!
I used to like her but don’t now. The woman is obsessed with garlic and pasta. Every single recipe includes garlic and 90% of them have some point where you have to “drop” the pasta. Enough already. Not everyone loves garlic! I know it’s good for you but personally can’t stand it!
Just kidding about the name I am using…….well I do believe she is laughing all the way to the bank…..she is freakin rich. She gets paid VERY well to say Yummo, EVOO etc. I would probably say it too.
I love Rachael Ray’s 30 min. meals – so far, everything I’ve made has been wonderful. The ONLY thing I have a pet peeve on – is he scalp scratching. She does it on every show! I can’t think of one show she didn’t scratch her scalp. It’s just as groce as watching Paula Deen dipping her fingers into the bowl or food and licking it and going back or offering someone a taste. That is SO GROCE! And I will never forget the time that Paula had the Neely’s there and they were making a dish and reminded them how important it was to “wash their hands” – - oh PLEASE. But getting back to Rachael, hands on scalp and cooking afterwards just don’t mix with me.
All of you that Hate Rachael Ray are pretty sad people. With all that is going on in the world today maybe people should consider supporting a positive role model like Rachael. There really is something wrong with all those that use HATE before or after her name. I must ask all you people that HATE………………………..
What is wrong with Rachael Ray doing what she loves, making amazing money doing it, promoting 30 minute meals for families to cook insted of eating fast food and if the worst thing she says is EVOO well I say to all those haters….. Get REAL, Grow UP and sorry about your bad luck because she will be around for a long time!!! YEAH
Okay, so this comment is not about RR per se, but about that school of cooking popular right now. It was a recipe I saw in People magazine (hey, I was at a doctor’s office!), and it was a pasta meal advertising itself as being under $10 for four people. Except it had *an entire stick of butter* in it. Not kidding. And then grated cheese on top of that. It was some male B- or C-list celebrity chef who did it. Pasta + stick of butter + cheese + being sold as a reasonable meal = partly why the U.S. currently has such a weight problem.
Honestly, this is ridiculous, rachael ray makes food on a t.v. show not in a restaurant, so hygiene really doesn’t matter, same with paula dean, i’m sure the finger licking stops when she’s at her restaurant. get a life. let’s see any of you come up with half the stuff either of them do, or in the case of rachael ray, get three shows and product endorsments without a single day of cooking classes. (because she hasn’t.)
Hey Erin
Why don’t you stop hating (for your f.y.i you spelled cought wrong dumbass its CAUGHT you BITCH). Now when you want to run your mouth about me your dumbass can’t even spell a common word. Do me a favor go back to the 3rd grade(if you can find it) and learn how to spell.
Thank You!
Have a nice day
Hate none, love all
I totally agree with emmer’s post if you hate Rachael Ray so much then why you watch her show.
We detest RR, but sometimes watch her show for laughs, or is that indigestion? I’m sorry to burst your bubble, Laura, but fast food looks healthy next to Ray’s crap. She uses too many fatty meats and butter, too many chemical laden store-bought ingredients and way too much pasta. Not only is her example of poor kitchen hygiene dangerous to beginner cooks (probably the only people who don’t see through her atrocious cooking), but her use of EVOO at high temperatures also poses a cancer risk. Why would you overheat an oil whose average cost is nearly $20/bottle? Ridiculous! I guess when you’re so rich you could care less about how real people live. Real chefs know you reserve EVOO for salads, dipping and other unheated uses. That’s why they make olive oil in so many grades, so you can use the right one for the right purpose. I’m completely fed up with talent-challenged morons getting so much hype. Her nervous tics could drive one to madness.
