Giada can at least COOK. Rachael Ray is annoying, someday she will crack, and while I admire the fact that the food she prepares is accessible to those of us that have to cook to feed ourselves and our families everyday, I don't really need to know how to cook many of the recipes she "invents" (they are basic things I already know how to do, or can figure out from a basic cookbook or recipe website) nor do I want to watch a boring cooking show....I want to look at things I might experiment with once in a while; a celebration dinner or something to include when I want to impress someone. Cooking shows should have some gourmet influence/regional influence. Giada may not be the most authentic Italian chef in the world, but her cooking has a focus; Rachel Ray will try every thing (Americanized, of course) from Greek to...well, Italian. I do like the 40 dollar show though; it's fun to watch. Esp when she buys SANDWICHES you could get in any city or town for lunch, to keep the budget in tact. She has a decent niche, but she is an average cook all the way....and I'd HARDLY call her a chef, or buy her olive oil. I am not annoyed that Nabisco signed her, however. Their crackers are as basic and bland as she is. But I like the fact that there are shows like her 30 minute meals that are practical and aimed toward the INeedtoGetSomethingOntheTable crowd. But this makes her a cook, not a chef. Anyone could do her show.

Giada is a chef Rachel is an actress who can cook. If I had to choose between the two to cook me a meal I would definately choose Giada.

Rachel Ray has more realistic, economical everyday recipes for real people, but if you want an expensive, exquisite meal, I don't know that I would ask her over Giada.

I cant stand Rachel Ray. Anytime I watch her show I put it on mute, otherwise I get annoyed. Giada is a much better cook, has better dishes, isnt annoying and is much easier on the eyes.

I'm not a big RR fan. I hate her voice. She used VEAL the other day on the show and I about fell off my chair.
Giada's recipes are more interesting and challenging to make in my own kitchen. I'd have to vote for Giada. :-)

I quit watching Food Network because I really cannot stand to watch RR. Giada is actually a trained chef; RR is only a cook.
Alton and Mario Rule!

I like Rachel Ray because her foods are easier to make and they are a little bit more realistic.
