Rachel Ray doesn't suck. Here's why.
OK, so she's not the first cookbook I go to when I'm looking for something a little fancy. But I'm a Rachel Ray lover, not a hater. And this article in Esquire just increases the love I have for the perky brunette.
She responds to the haters:
"And the funny thing is, everything they say is valid: I'm not a chef; I'm a cook. But even the best chef in the world needs to know how to make a fast, tasty burger. Say what you want about me, but I throw down when it comes to burgers. I'm the queen of ground meat. The way I hack an onion is truly hacking at an onion. I do everything wrong. Whatever. Everything gets smaller in the end."
And then she goes on to mention some of her quirks that some people find particularly irritating:
"Yeah, some people find me annoying. I'm perky. I smile a lot. Hell, it's better than bawling. I speak in abbreviations. But if you had to stand there and talk to yourself for five years, you'd shorten some words, too. Yum-O? It just came out of my mouth one day, "yum" and "Oh my God" smushed together, because it was so good."
Whatever. We sold a lot of T-shirts with that one."
She has moxie, a quality that will always earn you points in my eyes.

I agree. I like Rachel and I also like another person who catches the same kind of flack: Samantha Brown of "Passport to Europe" and "Great Hotels."

You're right. She does not suck, she is just annoying.
