Others have also told me she seems put-on. I have not watched her shows, except one time when I was waiting in a line at my bank. She made some kind of cake, I saw about 5 minutes of it, and went home and tried it. It was good, but I didn't see what all she put in it or how she baked it. She probably put marshmallows, bacon, and a pound of butter in it. Oops! I missed that part! 
I didn't know her then, so I had no clue what she was about. Others have told me about her, though, so I looked up this "sandwich." I thought they were pulling my leg! But there it is! There is no way anyone can eat like that and live. Eeeeeewww!

I love Paula Deen! My hubby even took me to see her live show (it's not the one on t.v. she was doing touring doing live shows) and she was even better in person. Granted her cooking is not always the healthiest and I don't think hamburger between donuts even sounds remotely good, but I do enjoy her southern charm. I have tried several of her recipes and they are great, not all of her stuff has a stick of butter in it believe it or not.

Some of the stuff looks good like the fried chicken and other southern type dishes (I am not from the south) but the deep fried macaroni and cheese and deep fried butter balls just crack me up.
The food network is going overboard on overexposing some of their celebrities though. I can watch her her regular cooking type show but the Paula's Party show gets on my nerves.

I think Rachel Ray is more annoying than her ! Rachel stuck some bread in a saucepan and called it "gnocchi". Uh no. Gnocchi is potato dumplings. I'm sure Giada woulda smacked her if she had been standing next to her.

I have to agree. Even more annoying are her sons, Jamie Bob and Bobby Bob. I feel so sorry for her husband, Santa Claus The Cap'n, who I think will die first from her ridiculous use of fat in her recipes.
I used to like her, but now she plays off the fact that every thing she makes is unhealthy, and even though she laughs her head off about it, it's just not funny anymore.
Rachel Ray used to be my #1 annoying person on the foodie channel, but she now rides a close second.

I beg to differ...Giada is one that annoys me as well as Robin Miller whose meals never sound or look good.

Her double chocolate gooey cake is the best ever.
I think the whole butter thing is just PR. They are using that to play up her show. I really liked her until I read her auto-biography. Now I find it a little hard to watch her shows. She does have some good recipes though. My family requests The Lady's Mac and Cheese every holiday.

Wow! I am totally out of my league here! I have no idea who most of you are talking about. Chefs, I am sure, but they even tell about their personal lives? Wow!

Ina runs her show out her mansion in the hamptons (they live there) but her husband is always traveling. So there always jokes on the food boards about her husband never being home. That's what I meant before anyone misinterprets.

From several people (some with discerning palates, some not), I've heard her restaurant is terrible.
One of those people went to a taping of her show, and said she was totally drunk in about 20 minutes. Which, I thought, totally explains how she behaves on the episodes I've seen.
Nobody, and I mean nobody, will over bump Emeril out of #1 Annoyance.

As for Paula Deen, why not just lick through a tub of lard? It would be easier to prepare and you would get the same result.

She drives me nuts. Some of her desserts are really good but for the most part her food is too bland for me. Her hot chicken salad is good with a few modifications.

I had forgotten which chef was "most annoying" until I watched turned on the TV to FN this weekend and saw Semi-Homade with Sandra Lee. She is definately the most annoying in my book. I mean she decorates her kitchen to match her outfit. And the way she says L. She kind of rolls it off her tongue. I just wanna smack her.
