Food Network - Alex Guarnaschelli

[DizBelle]

I've seen Alex Guarnaschelli on that show Chopped a couple other shows. She just does not seem like a pleasant person at all. On Chopped, she can come off as downright nasty and like she thinks she is superior to everyone.

Anyone else get that vibe from her?

I think she just takes judging food very seriously. If you watch her on The Cooking Loft, she gives off a totally different vibe. Very friendly and personable.

I was going to say the exact same thing.

I've seen her on a couple of shows and she's pretty funny. I like her. I don't like the blond woman on Chopped. She always looks like she just ate a lemon

Yeah, that's a perfect description. I've got to say, Chopped is one of my favorite shows. It just amazes me how they can put those ingredients together.

I loved Chopped, especially when Alex is on. Her sourpuss faces are most entertaining!

I agree she comes off as very nasty when she is a judge on Chopped or Iron Chef America, etc. DH and I roll our eyes at her b/c it seems like she sometimes says nasty things for the sake of being nasty.
I've never seen her cooking show but from the way she acts on other shows, I don't necessarily want to.

She's not my favorite.

But then she's almost Cinderella-like when you compare her to Carrie on the Cake Challenges

Agreed. I kind of feel like if the chefs don't want mean, they shouldn't compete. But I really like her (and am eating at her restaurant in two weeks)

The episode where they made cakes for her....I did not think I could laugh that hard.

Alex is the Chef at a great restaurant ( Butter) in NYC . They actually went to her restaurant for a challenge on The Next Food Network Star and one of the contestants tried to blame his iffy performance on the cramped kitchen to her (not knowing who she was ) Her look could have froze H*ll. She said something to him like " Not a good idea to critize my kitchen when you are an invited guest. She is much warmer on Loft. You want to see another side of the "stars" on Food network watch TNFNS. Giada was a bi***. And she should be understanding she made tons of mistakes in the beginning. People are actually commenting on the website that they don't think having them as judges is a good idea because they are starting to lose fans.

Agreed. I always say she looks like she smells something bad.
