I love:
- The “Fergus”, the “Chef’s Chef”, and the “Steingarten”–way to go!
- Ms. Garten’s nomination. All the recipes from her show (those that I tried) work. I hope she wins.

A few questions:
- Mr. Batali is a nominee in the category bearing his name … ?
- I’d have expected to see Ms. Ray’s name in either (or both of) the “Mario” or the “Cat” categories. Maybe next year?
- Eater.com mentioned the “Cat” award. Has it been taken off the list?

I am granting myself a special award for being “Most out of touch with the Foodie-In-Crowd”

No, Rachael should get a BROWN clog – full of shit, preferably Namibian warthog – in a special category for New York State-born lame-ass food “personalities”. That being, naturally, the “Eat (Your Own) Shit and Die!” category for the TV foodie who has shoveled the most shit at the hapless American consumer. But perhaps it’s just too obvious a choice . . .

To all of you who whine about Rocco snarkiness.

Bite me. Rocco will always be a whipping boy because he is. If you don’t like it, don’t read the posts. And his use of plastic surgery just makes it more fun…

Come on Rocco, you know you had work done, just admit it and we will move on…

“I enjoy Tony, his show and his credo in general. I do however disagree with him about The Allman Brothers(see Spin.com back page), they should never be considered in the same class as Billy Joel or ABBA.”

After an extended period of breathing into a paper bag and listening to “Cross To Bear” on repeat play, I’m okay now. I was able to locate Tony’s essay on Spin and found it 70% enjoyable and 30% creepy. Not that the creepiness takes anything whatsoever away from the piece.

If someone truly understands the travesty of justice, the perversion of all that is good and right in this world, that Molly Hatchet’s version of “Dreams” was (taking a 12-bar beat and turning it into a freakin’ waltz), then they also have to take into account that not everybody knows everything or cares about The Allman Brothers. And that One Way Out was not among their best work.

Snoozer, a more complete list of Tony’s gigs is on the TC No Rez board, with the complete list to follow by the end of the week.

rachel ray should get the black clog award for the chef with the most irrating demeanor and the uncanny ability to cook shit that looks like shit and tastes like shit. she is a terrible excuse for a cook or a personality.

I think there should be a category for the “Best Pork Belly Caesar.”

After many, many hours of thought I have concluded that Ruhlman is a genius. These awards will be great and I look forward to them. Also I think that the people who invented the awards get to invent the categories.

Candice, nice try, but don’t you think you should call it the “Dirty P” award?

Style:

In the biographical blurb in the upper-right corner, you at one point use a comma before the closing “and” of a list (“…food, the work and business of the chef, AND about cooking…”), but in the final sentence, you omit this comma. Sorry to copy-edit the blog, but we are a writer and all.

I do not understand why some people post here with only negative things to say, why not just go somewhere else? Is it an attempt at humor? I enjoy Tony, his show and his credo in general. I do however disagree with him about The Allman Brothers(see Spin.com back page), they should never be considered in the same class as Billy Joel or ABBA.
