And why did you single her out in your intro to the food issue, PAC? I’ve been hearing that question from hundreds (or 2) of you ever since the issue hit the streets. I’ll tell you who Giada De Laurentiis is: She’s the sex symbol of American food television, and exhibit #1 of how crazy twisted the connections we’ve built between sex and food have become. Check out the following video (which has been handily edited by an internet perv to take out all the pesky informative bits about cooking):
Now I’m not saying that the Food Network producers have taken calculated steps to ensure men are watching the channel, but… No, wait. That’s exactly what I’m saying. Whatever other point I was trying to make, I seem to have forgotten. But there are some bunnies after the jump to make it all better.

Switching between accents in the same sentence all the time like that is annoying and distracting. I still like her though.
She’s no Paula Deen or Mario Batalli. Those are some real American sex symbols.
Boobs, porn music score, squeaky-clean crevices and surfaces, rolling pin HJ–it’s all there except the money shot.
Although dough balls should always be hand-tossed.
What an apt title for a youtube video. She is George Costanza’s dream: cleavage and pizza, or is that cleavage with pizza.
Who is Giardia there? Why, she’s the one with the hatchet mouth that I am deeply afraid is going to fucking eat me. That’s who.
Y’ see her on that one Iron Chef episode? She looked like she was gonna kill her team mate. She’s nutzoid.
She has a large cranium.
The sex symbol aspect of her appeal really hits home when the show’s producers cue the porn-soundtrack for her doing more hands-on techniques.
Prefer Nigella
I think that Rachel Ray is cuter, but she may have some competition here.
A lot of glistening there.
