Out of all the Famous Chick TV Chefs, Who Would Win in a Fight?

[Afro1989]

Paula Deen vs. Barefoot Contessa

Rachel Ray vs. Gaida

I'd take Paula over Contessa. She's got that deep southern rough 'n tough fighting style.

Rachel over Gaida. She's got more heft & Gaida has no arm reach.

Also, who would come out on top in a royal rumble 4-way match?

You need to post some photos =p

I am going with Julia Child... she worked for the OSS as a spy in WWII.

Rachel Ray would eat Giada as a snack.

So would I :p

[Abstract]

But what am I supposed to do with the corpse that remains?

............oh



Uh, I think whichever girl eats the most will win it. In untrained fights, size is everything, which must be why Rachel Ray decided to get a head start in preparation for this fight. Giadi would probably lose based on size alone. You can tell she's also quite short if you compare her to the height of the counter-top in her kitchen. She'll have to start eating a bit of her own cooking, me thinks.

Barefoot Contessa has the age advantage. It's not fair, really.

Mark Bittman. Bingo. Done. Period. Snap. Nuff said. Over. Fin. FTW.

Sounds like a dude...

[Melrose]

Check that. I misread the title. I hereby withdraw my entry.

As you were.

[mysterytramp]

Rachel over Gaida.

Don't be so sure. She must smoke like a chimney with that voice. She could be out of breath after the first punch.

[Melrose]

Rachel is waaaay too chunky and tans too much. Besides, Giada is Italian, and as everyone knows: Mediterranean cooking is awesome.

@ Abstract: That last post made me crack up... :D

I'm pretty sure she'd have the bollocks off anyone who called her a "chick".

[eldy]

Cat Cora would get deep in the playoffs.

Vote number 2 for Delia Smith:

I don't know who'd win, but I'd pay to watch Giada fight.

Maybe in a bikini?

In a vat of mud.....?

Hell, under those terms, I'd take her on myself!!!

[Lone Deranger]

How about Nigella? :)

[Lone Deranger]

Or Ching He Huang... I'm thinking a Chun-Li outfit would go nice with the wok. :)

[brax.j]

I'll take two of what ever the OP is on!!

[Sun Baked]

Looks like she already did.

But who cares, stuff them both in a pan with EVOO.

[kastenbrust]

It has to be Nigella:

English, Jewish and sexy, she has all the bases covered, although she isn't very good at cooking, but you never really look at the food in her shows anyway.

A more interesting question would be for guys...

[Mr. Giver '94]

Paula would kick ass no matter what. :D

[designgeek]

I vote for Rachel Ray, in that pic she looks like she's packing some serious upper body strength.

[Sesshi]

I'm pretty sure she'd have the bollocks off anyone who called her a "chick".

With her own range of knives, of course.

[theITGuy]

It has to be Nigella...

I have to agree with you...there's something sexy about her...:D

Cheers.

[EricNau]

My money is on Ms. Deen.

[barkmonster]

I definitely would like to see a naked food fight in a giant vat of custard involving Ching He Huang, Giada de Laurentiis, Rachel Ray and Nigella Lawson. It wouldn't matter who won as long as it lasted quite a while ;)

No.

Giada de Laurentiis

Sure.

Rachel Ray

No.

....and Nigella Lawson.

Sometimes.

[MattG]

I don't care who, I'd just like to see one of them knock Rachael Ray out. Bitch gets on my nerves.

[jbernie]

Not to be too technical by default, Rachel Ray is inelligable and so might a few others, Rachel is not a "Chef", she is a cook, she doesn't hide it. First you need to find out who really is a Chef before you can set the matchups.

Giada is cute and all but my goodness she could shrink the smile down a bit.

[Abstract]

....Rachel Ray is inelligable.....

Uh.....you "FTW". :p

[fotografica]

I think Cat Cora could hold her own..

[dmr727]

So what's the definition of a chef, then? I thought it was just a professional cook.

[Sun Baked]

When you see Cat Cora almost see her take Rachel Ray or Giada on as the secret ingredient in a Celebrity Deathmatch/Iron Chef crossover even.

Can almost see it now Cat Cora chasing Giada around the Iron Chef stage in order to cook her.

[Signal-11]

So what's the definition of a chef, then? I thought it was just a professional cook.

I think jbernie's being a little (but not too pedantic.) A "chef" in the foodie world is someone who is formally trained, apprenticed and worked his or her way up the professional kitchen. Usually, but not necessarily, in the French style. Thomas Keller is a chef. Padme Lakshmi, as hot is she is, is a cook.
