Y’all can have Nigella, Rachael, Giada, and all the rest. My heart belongs to Bridget from _America’s Test Kitchen_.

Anne’s cute. Nothing wrong there. I’m a Nigella man myself. Giada’s also attractive but I’d be afraid of snapping her in half. Nigella on the other hand…I’d see a good evening’s gymnastics there.

wow. some of you guys have pretty high standards. kicking giada out of bed for having too large a head:body ratio?

i’d pretty much jump on any TV celebrity chef if given the opportunity, even paula. i’d probably pass on Anne though. i dunno… something too butch about her that really turns me off.

for the hotness crown though? it’d be a 3-way fight between nigella, giada, and padma. a jello fight.

I would take Nigella circa about 1995, if I could. Oh, lovely, lovely Nigella. Other than that, the only one I’m remotely attracted to of that bunch is Giada.

Nope, definitely [Bridget](http://www.createtv.com/CreateProgram.nsf/vHosts/Bridget%20Lancaster). I don’t make mistakes about things like that.

Anne Burrell doesn’t do it for me.

Nigella Lawson is gorgeous, even at 51. Giada De(will look up spelling later) is beautiful, despite having an unnaturally large head. Her rack’s amazing.

The rest, meh.

As said before, I’m pretty sure her head isn’t THAT big, though it might be proportionally bigger than usual. The fact that they do seem to be using a wide-angle lens to fit the camera crew in the kitchen might be a big part of why her head seems so big though (Wide angle lenses are awesome for making small rooms look spacious. They’re also awesome for making skinny people look bloated.)

It’s too bad I don’t fine Anne attractive at all, 'cause I get the feeling she’d rock it in the bedroom.

Giada is fine as hell.

Agree that Rachel is too screetchy annoying. It overcomes her looks.

I have a pretty big crush on Aarti. Great smile, great laugh, nice body…yeah…what were we talking about again?

I’d have sex with Mrs. Neeley as long as she keeps the talk to a minimum.

Nigella’s cute.

And Ingrid? Ohhh…yeah.

Oh no, I understand what she’s going for. It’s just feels like watching really bad stand-up or improv, or the last 10 minutes of SNL.

My vote goes to one of the very first hotties on The Food Network- [Lynne Koplitz](http://www.zimbio.com/Lynne+Koplitz/articles/r5eF5jWGw_p/Lynne+Koplitz)- from “How to boil water”.

She’s no Chef but neither is Sandra Lee.

For one, they are biker chicks, and two they make great food.

I love Guy Fieri. Guy Fieri with a vagina? Not that intested.  
Nadia on Bitchin’ Kitchen is cute.  
Sandra Lee is Stepford hot.

Claire Robinson is perhaps one of the most attractive women I’ve ever seen. Everyone else pales in comparison. Look at those eyes. God. Damn.

Anne Burrell? I would die of alcohol poisoning long before I could drink enough to make that happen.

While Nigella is probably No1 Domestic Goddess if you like your ladies brunette, with a slightly retro glam look here in the Uk there’s also
