This has got to be the BIGGEST fool on Food Network!
I actually love Food Network and Iron Chef is one of my favorite shows. This guy tickles me to death, at the beginning of each challenge he makes a "grand" entrance and then takes a bite out of a bell pepper, tomato or some other vegetable and lawd the way he chews it! He makes watching the show worthwhile, just to see him "perform".

Bio: Takeshi Kaga
Want to meet the ultimate foodie? It's Takeshi Kaga—or at least the character he plays on Japan's cult classic, Iron Chef. Kaga is the show's MC, portrayed as a wealthy and eccentric gourmet who lives in his castle with a small army of fine chefs. The character's chief pleasure in life is staging food battles between his honored Iron Chefs and premiere chefs of the culinary world. It's the eccentric nature of Kaga's character that accounts for the flamboyantly sequined, Liberace-esque wardrobe he sports.
If you think you've seen Kaga before, it may have been in a PBS special with the international cast of Les Misérables; Kaga was Jean Valjean in Japan's 1994 production. He was also the first Japanese Tony in West Side Story (1977) as well as the first Japanese Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar (1976).
Next up for slaughter - Rachel Ray
Now this is a b**ch I just can't stand! This nut has two shows on Food Network, $40 A Day where she travel around eating breakfast, lunch and dinner on $40.00. What's the big deal? I can eat on $40.00 all damn week!
What really ticks me off with this ho is that every damn thang she puts in her mouth is good! "mmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" is what she says and then does this wicked ass giggle. I could drop kick her ass!
Her other show is 30 Minute Meals - she acts a damn fool on that one too. And can you believe this nut is getting a 3rd show on the network where she cooks with celebrities! It premieres some time in November. I'll be watching !!!!!
Takeshi Kaga has a very interesting bio. I'd like to see him in Westside Story. When watching Iron Chefs, he does seem to have a peculiar personality. Even intriguing almost.
As for Rachel Ray, she NEVER eats anything that doesn't taste good. I'm sure there has to be something she's eaten that tastes lik doo-doo. I guess she wouldn't really tell us anyway, huh?
I am amazed that she gets three shows. I do like the $40 because of the travel aspect of the show, but the celebrity show...they are pushing it. But I will watch the episode with Mekhi Phifer... :)
