I watched in horror Rachel Ray's $40 A Day show in my hometown of Chapel
Hill, NC.
I know they do research, that she just doesn't walk around town in one day
and find all these neat places to eat. That lame bit about her checking a
local bookstore and happening upon Mama Dip's book was just so staged.
Anyway her staff should be shot because they are total idiots for their
menu selections. She goes to Mama Dip's and gets freaking gumbo? Holy ****
that's like going to Louisiana and getting BBQ. No one native to NC eats
gumbo. Isn't the point of the show to eat the local fare? I mean, this is
NC and Mama Dip's is famous for traditional black and southern cuisine.
That includes fried chicken, chitlins, chicken and dumplins, not friggin'
gumbo!
Then the real kicker was her going to the BBQ Joint. Look, if you have
never been to eastern NC you don't understand what BBQ is and how to eat
it. It's slow cooked pork that is usually chopped and mixed with a spicey
vinegar sauce. That's simple enough. It's what she didn't get with it that
totally blew my mind. The *traditional* side dishes are cole slaw, which
she got by default. Another traditional side side and a real must have
when eating BBQ is brunswick stew. Hushpuppies are also traditional. What
does that idiot Rachel Ray get? Well, she didn't actually order it, she
let one of the owners recommend it (obviously that was totally setup,
too). Now get this, he recommends BRUSSEL SPROUTS!!!!!! LAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG, me and my friends who watched the show almost went completely
bonkers. I can't even tell you how damn stupid that is. I mean, I can't
tell you what a let down that was. That is NOT traditional and maybe 1 in
1000 would order the damn things. Hell, most people hate the stupid things
as it is. I have worked in and eaten in BBQ restraurants for 40 years.
Brussel sprouts are so far down on the scale of what to eat it's not even
funny. My 90 year grandmother might eat them, then again seeing how they
cooked them in garlic she might not. It looked like they were going for
that high brow NY style of cooking instead of traditional eat with your
hands BBQ style. On top of that she got cornbread instead of hushpuppies.
That is just wrong. I can not believe anyone serious would come to
central/eastern NC, go eat BBQ and NOT order brunswick stew and
hushpuppies. It's just mindboggling. It makes no sense. She and her effete
staff totally blew it.

My husband and I had the same reaction. Makes you wonder about the
other "traditional" food on her travels.

Hush puppies ARE cornbread, albeit deep fried in lumps. I expect hush
puppies with fried catfish, not with BBQ. Of course I'm in TN, not NC.
Bob, your "that's just wrong" statement reminds me of this ad I've been
seeing for Quizno's Subs. That fat-cheeked baby is describing the turkey
sub his mother had and says, "What did I get? Strained peas. That's just
wrong!"

I wish they'd bring back the Quizno's rats. That baby gives me the creeps.
His head is enormous.
Rachel Ray ... I do like that show, but she almost always orders the last
thing I would have from the glimpse I can catch of the menu. I guess that's
why she has a show and I don't.

That *was* a lame show. I live in CHapel Hill too, so I know 2 of the 3
places she visited.
1) Mama Dips. Among the worst food in creation and, based on my one visit
there, the surest way to get violent diarrhea. Overcooked, greasy,
unattractive slop.
2) Elmo's Diner. Has managed to bring diner food to new levels of
mediocrity.
And I agree - brussel sprouts with BBQ?!?! That is *really* weird!

I think that those who write the scrips and do the research should
really be sure to ask LOCALS of the areas in which they are visiting
about what LOCAL foods/traditions are. And by locals, i mean those who
were born and raised with those traditions. I'm from Hawaii, and am a
native Hawaiian, and there are many things that are mis-represented
about Hawaii and Hawaiian culture which make me want to gag. Please do
research before broadcasting it to an entire nation.

Let's see. Here in Saskatchewan our idea of Hawaiian cooking is ham &
pineapple pizza. That must be close eh ;-)

Darn, I missed it. I usually can't watch her shows. She's cute but her
schtick is so corny. On that celeb show she does, I have seen her gush
over Cheech Marin and Joe Perry going so far as to refer to them as
"baby." It was sickening. Also, I saw her doing $40 a day in Asheville.
She was walking the streets of downtown talking about it was time to go
eat breakfast. In the background was a large clock that read 2:00 pm. Who
in the hell eats breakfast at 2pm? No one, it was just a stupid continuity
error that an amateur wouldn't have allowed through.

Holy moly, that is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. I'm in the area
and have eaten bbq all my life. The mere thought of sprouts with que is
just f'ed up. I know where that que place is, it's near East Chapel Hill
High. The next time I am over that way I'm going in there and asking that
idiot why he recommended sprouts.

It's overpriced, too, probably due to the national attention she got from
being on the FoodTV channel. The two times I have been there it wasn't too
bad.
What do you think of Crook's Corner?

Amen.
The best in the triangle can be found at Bob's in Creedmore, Allen and Son
in Chapel Hill and Bullock's in Durham.

Nice pair of . . . . incisors?
I'm not much of a chest-watcher, but I FORCED myself to check hers out on a
recent episode where she was in a bathing suit (somewhere in Hawaii). I
think she's an A-cup at best; what's the big deal?

Her ass is the big deal. It's her only redeeming physical feature other
than her incredibly smooth looking skin.

As Joe Bob Briggs once said, she has two obvious talents.
Actually, I'm starting to enjoy her newer series of 30-minute meals.
She's more relaxed, and she's able to convey something of her family's
connection to food. There's an apparent emotional tie at times.
Also her show with Penn and Teller was a hoot.

She would be fine if she would keep her mouth shut. Her giggles and yapping
make me crazy when watching her <shudder>. I still watch some of her
programs though. I try to ignore all of the chatter and concentrate on the
food.

That and the EVOO and then says "Extra Virgin Olive Oil". I feel like

That's pretty fancy to me! My kids are lucky if they just get ice cream
most times - we're on a budget, but I keep lurking here hoping that someday
I can afford more than boxed mac & cheese.

*ahem* Some guys LIKE that!
She's got a bit of lordosis which causes her butt to stick out. I don't
think it's huge at all, and it looks pretty firm (though I couldn't tell for
sure without touching...) I do agree with Jack that it's her best feature.

When anyone does a show about Hawaii all we ever see eaten is pineapple,
Spam and poi and if they have time they always show a Luau and roast a pig.
I'm sure there must be a lot more to Hawaiian foods but it seems its always
those few things that gets spotlighted. I take most regional food shows with
a grain of salt because I live in the south and all they ever show us eating
is Bar-b-que and something deep fried and while I love a good pit cooked
BBQ,
I do eat other foods and I seldom deep fry anything.

Well, I love Brunswick stew. At least my recipe for
it. Now as I understand it it was originally usually
made with squirrel or maybe squirrel and rabbit or
some other mix of meats, but nowadays it's often made
with chicken and lotsa folds don't have much access to
squirrel. However, that's neither here nor there. The
point is that it's a *meat* dish!!!! So what I don't
understand is why it would be served with another meat
dish, mainly bbq. (At least I'm assuming y'all put
some sort of meat in your stew and that NC bbq is bbq'd
meat and not bbq'd vegetables or something weird.
Now I don't have anything against eating 2 meat dishes
together. I love meat as much as the next person but
generally when I have a meat dish I sort of like a
contrasting kind of dish for a side dish. And I think
most people are that way, so it just seems odd to me that
Brunswick stew would become the traditional side dish for
bbq.
As for the hushpuppies, well, I never heard of them
being traditional bbq accompaniments. Here in Pgh. in
a lot of the black-owned bbq places it's usually corn
bread and the other side dishes are collard greens and
black-eyed peas and cole slaw and potato salad. People
usually only get 2 of the sides, not all four. But then
that tradition may come from another part of the south.

Eastern NC style BBQ is a wonderfull experience. If anyone
who hasn't tried it ever travels through the area, it is the
number one food type to try in my opinion.

Pffft. When I lived to the Raleigh area around half of
the BBQ places had brussel sprouts as sides. Maybe *you*
don't like them but they are definitely a local standard.

Haven been born 'n bred in NC, I can attest to the fact that hushpuppies are
NOT served with bbq. NC bbq is pork, in some areas not in NC, it is
referred to as pulled pork, not that slathered cow meat southwesterners
claim is bbq. Hushpuppies are usually served with fish, supposedly what was
done with the coating mix the fish was dipped in before frying. Named hush
puppy to indicate the fried dough was tossed to the dogs to leave those
eating alone until they were done and the puppies could have the leftovers.
Hushpuppies, if done right, are wonderful, if done wrong.....imagine a lump
of cornbread soaked in lard.
IMHO, Revel's bbq out of Laurinburg, NC is the best. Served on a plain
hamburger bun topped with coleslaw. Chase it with a Cheerwine (local soda)
and you hit hillbilly nirvana.

I've lived in NC for over 20 years and the notion that hushpuppies are not
served with BBQ is - shall I say weird at the least? They are not *always*
served with BBQ, but they are a frequent part of the standard BBQ platter at
almost every BBQ joint in the area. If you get the BBQ on a bun they are not
often included, but if the BBQ is by itself then they are.

Hush puppies are traditional sides in the Lexington/Greensboro area.
Bullock's in Durham also serves them as a side. IIRC, we didn't get
them at Wilber's in Goldsboro. Laurinburg is of the East Carolina BBQ
cuisine: thin, vinegary sauce with mayo-based slaw. The Lexington
style is a thicker sauce with vinegar-based slaw.

I am sure that we got hush puppies at Wilber's. We have moved to
western NC and plan to try the Lexington bbq soon.

So whose body did they photo-shop her on. She's pretty good looking now,
but in half of the shows it looks as if they've strapped her into an
industirl-strength corset. I like some of her recipes on 30-Minute
Meals, but she's pretty annoying. The $40 is interesting sometimes, but
I really don't like her new show.

It should be pointed out that there are two 'main' kinds of BBQ in NC.
Lexington Style, and that other kind. It's not unusual to have hush
puppies as a side.

I more or less have to agree with you, being from N.C. Brussel Sprouts
with BBQ was a very strange choice. OTOH, I'd be more likely to have a
bowl of gumbo in front of me then a plate of chitlins. Bobby Flay also
had a segment on the BBQ Joint in Chapel Hill, though he didn't actually
visit. Probably shot the same day by the same crew that was with RR. I
thought the BBQ Catfish looked unusual. It looked very tasty, but not
something commonly found on a Carolinian's plate in my experience. And
with the BBQ, you've GOT to have BBQ Slaw, the red stuff. Cole slaw just
doesn't cut it.

This was absolutely a total shock to me as well.
I am very definitely a newcomer & new convert to the whole BBQ thing. I am very
fussy on the way its made. Eastern NC vinegar style BBQ is one of the few ways I
like, or more precisely love. The whole BBQ sauce thing is what has been an
issue for me, plus a childhood run in with a "Pittsburgh BBQ" sandwich. If you
don't know what it is BE THANKFUL! ITS DISGUSTING from SMELL TO TASTE.
Brussell sprouts, or sprouts of any type are NOT on my menu, ever, period. Most
certainly not on the menu in a BBQ place. French Fries, steak fries, corn on the
cob, fried corn, baked beans (cant stand beans, either), but NO sprouts. As for
hush puppies, I've never cared for them either. I am fortunate that there is a
local BBQ restaurant run by some one from eastern NC who has the best eastern NC
BBQ outside NC you can get. They serve corn fritters with theirs along with
fries and cole slaw. Corn fritters depending on how they are made are either
great to awful. The local places is more like a corn meal cake with bits of corn
v. something made with creamed corn. If they are made with creamed corn I just
cover them up with a napkin or something. Creamed corn is just disgusting,
period.
I noticed in two segments on FN that NC BBQ places had sliced pickle chips with
the dish...Is that "traditional" as well?

How do you know that with such confidence? I don't know either way, just
curious how you can be so confident.
BTW; the referenced picture, along with several others appeared in FHM
magazine - that doesn't mean they couldn't have been altered by FHM, I'm
just citing the original source of the pics.

Peter,
By item #2, are you saying that diner food in general is bad?
I'm not trying to be confrontational, but get clarification. See, I live in
New Jersey, the de facto diner capital, and it's rare one will find a diner
with bad food - those that offer such, quickly go out of business. By and
large, diner food tends to be pretty good and reasonably priced. Granted,
most diner preparations may not win awards, but they will satisfy one's
hunger, and you won't go broke doing it.
