Holla Backlash





Holla's First-ever cooking show smackdown!
Holla knows there is an abundance of cooking shows on TV. And Holla also knows how valuable all those hours you spend in front of the tube are. Quite frankly, getting into the everyday grind of the television cooking world is a huge task for even an epicurean. With a plethora of cooking shows out there, how is an aspiring foodie supposed to know which host to trust? Luckily Holla's help is on the way.

Paula Deen
Paula is the queen of butter and oil. She's also one of Food Network's most entertaining hosts - that is, if you can tolerate her Southern cackle and innate dopey-ness.
What's good? Whether or not she tries to be, this woman is hilarious. She will literally add a half-stick of butter to any dish that shows signs of healthfulness. When Emeril Lagasse gets excited about adding butter to a dish, it's just creepy. But when Paula fattens up her dishes, it's always a chuckle-worthy occasion. This woman lives for guilty pleasures.
What's bad? Even Holla can't handle all the craziness Paula brings to the table. If you're looking for a more subdued cooking experience, you should avoid "Paula's Party," the Friday night cooking show where the diva really lets her Southern hair down. Trust Holla: Sh-t gets crazy.
What's ugly? There's not an ugly thing about this woman, except maybe her silvery hair, which looks immobile because of years of heavy hairspray use.
Ina Garten
Ina is the resident rich lady on the Food Network. Thankfully, she's not much of a snob … Well, not too much of a snob. Her show, "Barefoot Contessa," is always beautiful and inspiring - if you're not put off by her $40 bottle of olive oil and East Hampton home.

Well... Holla's comments were, er, "interesting."

[Docsmith]

I want those 2 minutes of my life back I spent reading that ....

I must be the only one who thought it was kind of funny.

[ibcheft]

That's my problem is it suppose to be funny or is this person serious, it is really hard to tell from the read on it. Some of it I find funny some of it, I am just not sure what they intended.

[aoneil]

I took it as the guy *trying* to be funny...with a bit of serious mixed in.

[MiseEnPlace]

Trying to be funny, thinking he is funny, being serious or whatever the author was attempting with this column, I do know one thing about it. The line about Alton having a "background in science" is completely wrong. He doesn't. In fact, Alton has said many, many times is was a terrible science student. So that sentence alone discredits whatever this author's article says. :P

Wonder who Holla is and why they decided to break this down for us? (apparently without research)

[BerryBaby]

Maybe they needed a 'filler' article for the paper.
