For some reason it just felt like it was in very bad taste (no pun intended). She is a PR pro after all. We all have sad stories, but they are aired on different networks than FN. Her cooking was great, but I don't want to know about the chefs' life histories. I just want to learn new things about cooking and be inspired. I'll watch Oprah if I want emotional TV. Jeffrey made a poor choice with the risotto, but scored high on the rest of the meal. He's my personal favorite.

There's a great video on the history of Julia. She's the reason cooking shows even exist.__ Fri, 24 Jul 2009 13:58:32 +0000 http://blog.foodnetwork.com/fn-dish/2009/07/ask-susie-episode-7/#IDComment28214542
