Unfortunately, I can’t find a picture, but I thought you were going to refer to Cathy Lowe, from the original “How to Boil Water”, who was quite comely. Truly the first Food Network hottie. ---

Speaking of Aunt Sandy, I’d give her a go too. She’s got big boobs and she’s a drunk. ---

FWIW… having met Nigella in person at a book signing, she’s kind of petite, believe it or not. Probably about 5’5", I’d guess. Gracious, nice, and every bit as stunning and busty as she is on TV. 😃 There’s something sexy about Anne Burrell that I can’t put my finger on. She just seems like she’d be awesome in the sack to me. ---

> [@bump](#): > > FWIW… having met Nigella in person at a book signing, she’s kind of petite, believe it or not. Probably about 5’5", I’d guess. That’s not really all that petite. That’s average or slightly higher than average for an American or British woman. But I know what you mean. She looks like she’s 5’7" or 5’8" on TV. ETA: According to Wikipedia, [she’s 5’7"](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigella_Lawson). Not that stats given by celebrities are always accurate… ---

Her appearance - not so much my style. But I have read her tweets and would love to be a part of her circle of buddies - she’s delightfully witty and crazy fun. ---

Take this simple test: When looking at a picture of the chef, do your eyes drift to their face, their body or to the pan to see what is cooking? Anne - I’m definitely checking out what’s for dinner. Nigella and Giada - my eyes sort of ping-pong back and forth until they hurt and I have the change channels. Padma Lakshmi could be cooking rat shit for all I know. Who cares what she’s got in the pan. Actually, I can’t even say if I’ve ever seen a pan in her hand. ---

Padma Lakshmi is more an eater of food than a cook on her show – gourmand, not gourmet. ---

Guys: Is TV chef Anne Burrell attractive? No. She looks like Bette Midler with the hair of a 100 year old woman. ---

Cupcake champ vegan chef [Chloe Coscarelli](http://www.chefchloe.com/videos/video/14-vegan-holiday-spiced-creme-brulee.html) is very attractive (ok, she’s not a host, but she’s cute). ---

> [@Oslo\_Ostragoth](#): > > Waste of a great set of [genes](http://www.jepara.net/wp-content/uploads/images/cat-cora.jpg). She’s given birth to one of her four kids (her wife had the other three), so I’m assuming that at least that one has a chunk of her genetics. Weird trivia: Sandra Lee is the First “Friend” of NY State - she’s dating Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Terrifyingly, “tablescapes” might come to the Governor’s dinners, as I’d read an interview in which she said she wanted to use her expertise at the mansion. ---

While she’s a good and respected chef, visually she’s the hideous spawn of Heat Miser and a Yeti. No way in hell. Who are the attractive female TV chefs TO YOU? Rachael? No. That much exuberance has got to be caused by a chemical imbalance, and you don’t take crazy to bed. Giada? Yes Nigella? God yes Paula? Um, ew. Spice Goddess? Don’t know her Mrs. Neely? Cute, but not particularly attractive. Sandra Lee? Not with a stolen dick.See above: You don’t bed crazy.
