NUMBERS IN THE NEWS: 330
Posted on January 19th 2009 by Jillian Madison

330news

WHAT DOES THIS NUMBER REPRESENT? Is it…

a) The number of teeth visible when Giada smiles
b) Mary Alice’s goal weight
c) Price per pound of filet mignon at Whole Foods
d) Jamie and Bobby Deen’s combined SAT score
e) Rachael Ray’s ring size
f) Dinner parties thrown by Ina Garten each month
g) Number of ingredients needed for one Alton Brown recipe
h) People who enjoy watching “Chopped” with Ted Allen
i) Sandra Lee’s average blood alcohol level
j) Times per day Guy Fieri gets mistaken for a lesbian

The correct answer is… NONE OF THE ABOVE. 330 is the seating capacity of Paula Deen’s restaurant, The Lady & Sons.

    Now that is a funny summary. 330 seats at the Lady and Sow uh ? How many busloads of tourists is that ? I don’t travel by bus so please tell me how many poor souls can fit on a bus .

    I hear mixed results about the food there. Pretty pedestrian and heavy, but it’s a buffet afterall.People of this ilk love the “all you can eat” format, so it’s not surprising they might find it OK.

    Have you read the Deen blog? Is it still up? HOLY CRIPES, CHRIST ON A CRACKER! That Dumb Ass Jamie Deen can’t even choose the proper form of “your/you’re” “there/their/they’re”. Repeatedly, he gets it wrong so clearly is clueless as to the proper form to use. So sad he has a child that he’ll likely raise to be just as effin dumb as he is.

    And to Genevieve, lots of people in the South (or at least too many) seem to find the cuisine at Golden Corral to be mighty fine eatin’ too. If her cheese straws (from cooking.com) are any indication of the food at her restaurant, I’ll pass, thanks.

    I have read the Deen blog! It is embarrassing how many basic grammar and spelling errors there are. Guess them’s eatin folks, and not educatin’ folks.

    This was a funny list :)

    Where can I see the Deen blog ?

    And I honestly think the buffet is a contributing prime reason why so many of you Americans are overweight and obese. Here in France, buffets are only laid out for tourists, usually Americans and Brits.

    And soda if offered for sale, doesn’t need to come in 32 0z bucket form. HFCS is another reason why your kids are packing on the lbs too.

    Be prepared if you leave anything less than complimentary, you will be attacked mercilessly by his legion of fans. I made a smart-ass but overall nice comment poking fun at him and my comment had to be deleted. My e-mail inbox was full o-hate. Craziness! No doubt the boy can afford 1) grammar lessons (check out Sylvan, Jamie!) or someone to proof his blog yet leave it in his “voice”. God knows all you’d have to do is throw in excess usage of the word “ya’ll” and not use any words with more than 3.5 syllables.

    I used to love Paula, now I can only take her in very, very small doses.

    This site is just toooo funny. ROTFLMAO funny!

    Genevieve: Jamie Deen’s Blog can be found on the restaurant’s website, http://www.ladyandsons.com. It COULD use a grammar check from time to time. Jamie’s weekly blog isn’t exactly exciting but the enamored fans love it and eagerly await the weekly installment. I think alot of women check in for any juicy tidbits that might be spoken about bachelor brother, Bobby. I’ve checked it myself from time to time for that same reason.

    Here’s a typical sentence from Jamie Deen. Reading it makes my head hurt!

    “I have to send thanks out to the readers who voted for our restaurant being chosen as number one” -Jamie Deen

    Um, excuse me???

    330 is also the size of Rachael’s Ray’s “skinny jeans.” Great website!

    The all-you-can-eat places are havens for the obese. Case in point: the late Old Country Buffet. Here in New Jersey, there were a few of these eateries and let me tell you; I never saw so many obese people in my life. It was almost scary. Granted; I’m no stick figure, and I do like to eat myself, but this was really a fascinating microcosm.

    Genevieve – That came off as incredibly judgmental and a little hurtful. I was pretty amped up after I read it and ready to slam out a hateful response until I had the thought that maybe a pragmatic language barrier exists between our two cultures? One which maybe kept you from realizing what you said could be read in such a hateful tone? I have to think that’s likely the case, as I’m sure you would hate to perpetuate the stereotype that people from your country are often times rather rude, especially toward Americans. I’m sure people in your country would be hurting if Americans continued to think that way about you all, because that would propbably make them less likely to spend their hard-earned (and, these days, saved) money visiting your country. I’m sure that wasn’t your intention at all.

    Well Flutey, sorry you feel that way. And I can tell you that no language barrier exists.
    I just pointed out a truthful observation that many other people around the world also witness . Until you loose that “portion distortion” mentality and stop serving food on garbage can covers and thinking you are getting your money’s worth after the 5 th trip to the buffet line, the criticisms and Body/Mass index will continue to grow.

    I am surprised to learn you feel some French are rude to Americans. If anything, most criticism we draw is based on our woman’s choice not shave their legs and armpits and
    that we smoke too much and drink too much red wine, but being rude to Americans. No way.

    In fact, I think it is the other way around. Many American tourists to France behave badly and are boorish to a degree.This seems to be a theme when Americans travel to different countries, not only France . In fact,backlash is inevitable, so much that many US travellers disguise themselves as Canadians or affix Maple Leaf patches on their backpacks. Ha, so you ‘re busted there.

    When 35 % of your population is classified as obese, then I think you might have a slight problem. I think many of you need to go back to your countrie’s approved food guide and read it over again.
