Rachael Ray: I liked everything that old Italian men like
Time Magazine hit the Ray with 10 reader-submitted questions recently about gossip, what she ate as a kid (sardines and squid, thus the old Italian man comment) and whether she would punch Tony Bourdain if given the chance:
No, I actually love and appreciate Tony Bourdain's work, and I think everybody has the right to their own opinion.
Well played.
The good stuff from the interview doesn't actually show up in the printed interview, it's in the accompanying podcast. For example, she says in the audio version that Bourdain wasn't necessarily wrong to criticize her for hooking up with Dunkin' Donuts. That doesn't mean she thinks she's contributing to the country's obesity problem by working with the donut chain, but she seemed to understand why people might have concerns.
And, Andy S. White from Schodack, the answer to your question about fast food is: "There isn't a fast food that I don't like, really. [Laughs.]"

I love Bourdain's comment about watching Rachael's neck disappearing. I don't have cable and have never seen her Food Network show, but caught her talk show recently in a waiting room and immediately noticed that she may be sucking down more than just coffee at Dunkins.
As we say in the North Country, she's a grande' fi.
