Ok, I’m late to the party on this, but this weekend, I’ve fallen in love with Food Network’s Giada De Laurentiis. I was watching Food Network’s All Star BBQ special as I wanted to pick up some tips for grilling (I’m a guy, I love to grill) and saw Giada for the first time. I’ve seen the others on the show, Bobby Flay, Emeril, Alton Brown, but never Gia.

I’ve seen Rachel Ray, and yes, she’s perky and I do like her Food Network shows, but I’m not impressed by her stuff as much as I am with the way Giada handles herself. I want Giada to have her own syndicated show and blow Rachel out of the water.

Yes, she’s married, but I can dream, can’t I?
