Yesterday, I did a little piece on a few of the Food TV stars fan and anti-fan sites. This is part two of that feature. If you know of any other fan or anti-fan sites for the cooks below, please leave a comment to share with others.
Rachael Ray - Well, the controversy of Rachael Ray is very evident in the blogosphere. The biggest fan site of them all is Everything Rachel Ray at http://rachaelrayblog.blogspot.com/. There is also a huge community of anti-fans for Rachael at the Rachel Ray sux community page - http://community.livejournal.com/rachael_ray_sux.
Emeril Lagasse - Emeril has a whole group of fan sites over at Yahoo, here’s the link http://dir.groups.yahoo.com/dir/Cultures___ Community/Food_and_Drink/Chefs/Lagasse,_EmerilÂ
There are a few sites that say they don’t like Emeril, but I didn’t really find a well organized one.
Tyler Florence - Tyler’s biggest fan site is probably the myspace crowd over at http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=115086916, well, unless you consider his own blog, ha ha. Tyler doesn’t really have a solid anti-fan club, but there are plenty of negative stores about him in the sphere. Here’s one of the funnier ones - http://www.eatdrinkonewoman.com/2006/05/tyler_florence_food_network_fa.php
Ina Garten - The Barefoot Contessa doesn’t have a large fan site, but she does have one over at http://community.livejournal.com/barefoot_ina. As for Ina detractors there are a few. The thing I find most interesting about her detractors is they have nothing to say about her food really, it seems much more personal. There aren’t any real anti-fan sites for her out there, just comments here or there.
