Celebrity Chef's... ingredient profile
Last night, while driving in the car and trying to take a break from studying, Phi and I somehow decided that we were going to assign different ingredients to celebrity/TV chefs... You know, "If so-and-so were an ingredient, what would they be." Here are some of the pairings that we came up with:
Rachel Ray: Velveeta, good for kids, beginning cooks, and football parties.
Sandra Lee: Saccharin; sickly, fakely sweet... just like fake sugar, her recipes may be good imitations, but they never tastes as good as the real thing
Mario Batali: mascarpone cheese, rich, fat and happy.
Alton Brown: flour. Just like flour, he's in a lot of things... and very dry. ;-)
Anthony Bourdain: Bones. There might be tasty marrow inside, but it takes a lot of work to get to it, and the outside is very tough and not easy to stomach
Paula Deen: Butter. Need I say more?
Gordon Ramsay: Escargot (Snails) Many people are repulsed by their outward bearance; but while they may be hard and tough to crack, inside is a kind person, or to carry through the metaphor, the tasty soft parts.
Robert Irvine: Chicken. you can dress it up with all sorts of fancy ingredients (resume's?) but at the end of the day you still have a chicken.
Wolfgang Puck: Free range, grass fed veal. Top quality, utmost care, no shortcuts.
Bobby Flay: Fajita skirt steak. Versatile... as long as you are grilling.
Masaharu Morimoto: Tuna. the whole thing.... including the eyeballs.
Emeril: Pork Belly. BAM!
Rachel Ray: Velveeta, good for kids, beginning cooks, and football parties.
