Martha Can't Drop It

[BerryBaby]

Martha is 68 years old, has a successful TV show, businesses, gorgeous home, loving animals, family and friends....can't she just be satisfied with that and not bad mouth?

I do agree with Pluff. Martha's recipes are more my style as well and I love her decorating ideas. The Halloween special issue of her magazine is fabulous! Also looking forward to the Christmas edition.

I am more in line with Martha's style too. And she lived in West Virginia for a little while. Not voluntarily but she was here.

I do admire how successful Rachael Ray has become for her age it's phenomenal. But there is nothing wrong with being an entertainer and have her own cooking tips too. I enjoy it when all stars share cooking tips. I find it interesting. Even some Rock Stars like Joe Perry are food lovers and share cooking sauces and things like that. It's fun.

Whats funny is no matter what either of them say they are just trying to get their names out there....It's kind of like what Kanye did to Taylor Swift at the VMA's....It's exactly what his publicists/managers wanted...HYPE!

What no one realized is Kanye had a cd coming out the next week or so...and it got everyone talking about him....I guess it is true no advertisement is bad advertisement....

I believe both Martha and Rachel do their jobs well....who cares who does a better job haha...they'rre better than me at what they do i'll say that much ;]

I like Martha too, but I am not big on all these stars running others down. Martha is an Empire of her own, Rachael Ray shouldn't be on her radar.

I sometimes think the Bourdains and Batalis and all the others who like to either pick on other stars or worse yet food TV followers know it will get them press and that's why they do it. Seems like they could do it with their own shows. I like to watch Anthony because of what he does, he shouldn't be so worried about what's going on with the FN stars. If he would quit blasting them maybe we would see him come back on FN too, I would enjoy that. I wouldn't mind a Martha show either.

I don't think I've ever heard Mario slam anybody.

I thought he did a year or so ago. We had something posted about it somewhere on the site.
Think he was having a bad day.

That would be uncharacteristic of him. He is usually a very gracious individual. I would be interested in the details.

Oh it wasn't just anybody. It was Food Network viewers. So basically ... YOU (me everyone here). We are the "Walmart Crowd" the food network is supposedly catering to now. And he also he hates food bloggers. http://www.foodnetworkfans.com/forum...io-batali.html (Why I Hate Food Bloggers By Mario Batali)

What surprises me is that Mario bases his whole philosophy of bloggers on one critic who seems not to like him, which would put Mario as a blogger in the same catergory as the rest of us who were following him, maybe the chef has gotten to big for his britches, needs to be lowered a notch or two, wonder who he thinks eats at his resturraunts, buys his sauces, his pasta, his pots, yes Mario if we all stopped buying your product, your checks would stop. Maybe he has been hanging around Chef Bourdain to long, and gotten the attitude I am better than all the rest of you.

I think Bourdain and Batali are among a few chefs that have decided that if an entire network doesn't air shows that they think meet their standards of fine dining than it's not worth their time. That's really a shame because when they won't work for them, there are less shows like what they could offer. It's like Anthony Hopkins refusing to allow CBS to air any of his movies because they show cartoons on Saturdays and he is a serious actor. These guys need to contribute their shows to the pool so there is more of their style available to watch.

He certainly released batteries on Brandon Keil. Those two have quite the love affair going between them.
