She's got some irritating turns of phrase, but who doesn't? Alton Brown's incessant pop culture references get on my nerves if I watch him too much, and ten minutes of Paula Dean makes me want to claw my eardrums out and give myself a suborbital prefrontal lobotomy with my ice pick.

I'm glad RR exists, because I know enough people who can't cook much at all, and others who don't have tons of time, that Miss Sammies and Salads Thang is a help for them. She's also a good role model for young women who have food issues - she's not too thin, not too fat, makes relatively healthy food and shows them that it can be fun.

She bores me, but that's because I find her recipes exceedingly simple.

I don't watch $40 a day because she never goes to places I find interesting.

But for truly evil and annoying "food" people, my top three are
3. Paula Dean (Bacon around corn on the cob?? Krispy Kremes + 1 lb. butter + heavy syrup fruit cocktail + sweetened condensed milk... I just had a heart attack and went into hyperglycemia from writing her recipes.)
2. Giada de Laurentiis (too many teeth... and what does she eat, virgin's blood? And her food's so over-produced that I'm pretty sure the only way she got her show is because her granpappy is Dino and her aunt owns her production company...)
1. A show so bad it hasn't made it to FoodTV... Johnny Nix's Campfire Cafe (RFD TV). Cajun accent so thick a spoon would stand up in it, scary food, really REALLY bad production values (handheld minicam, maybe?), and the guy carts a metric ton of equipment into the back of beyond to make meals over a campfire (or a bottled gas stove) that most people wouldn't make in their kitchen with a full time cleaning staff on hand. (I'm sorry, but neither lasagna nor Tater-tot Hotdish should be made over an open fire. Ever. And in the latter case, probably not in a kitchen, either.) He makes "vegetarian" recipes with cream of chicken soup and cheese (what part of "vegetable matter only" does he not get?)

And his biggest sin... he puts tomato sauce in Cast Iron.
