Cheflebrity Smörgåsbord: Don’t Bug Rachael Ray!

8011331_1b13f44a0a

The latest and greatest news about celebrity chefs, served up buffet style.

Rachael Ray‘s event at a New York school cafeteria had an unexpected, six-legged special guest!

– Apparently, the sign of a true foodie is your participation in a web-only mini series.  Tony Bourdain goes the animated route while Tom Colicchio and Todd English talk style for Diet Coke.

After the jump…more Top Chef news than you can shake a stick at and a story about Jeffrey Steingarten, who you would probably like to beat with that stick.

– Slashfood wonders if Jeffrey Steingarten is the “culinary Simon Cowell.”  Anyone currently watching Next Iron Chef can already tell you that that he is certainly “a giant asshole.”

– To celebrate the news that Top Chef Masters will be back for a second season, the folks at Pages, Pucks and Pantry post a photo of season one winer Rick Bayless doing something no human should be able to do.  HE’S AN ALIEN!

– In other Top Chef spinoff news:  What do the cheftestants complain about more than anything else?  Deserts, of course.   Nonetheless, the casting search is on for folks to compete in Top Chef: Just Desserts.

    Okay, so the cockroach would be something that would have been fun to see…. when there is one, there is bound to be thousands.

    Many people have a hate-on for Rachel, me, I just don’t even care for her that much to hate her. Too much energy.
