FNH: Nice to see you, Giada! Thanks for sitting down with us today.

Giada: (silence)

FNH: Okay then. What are you looking forward to in 2009?

Giada: MAS-KHARRRRRR-POH-NEEHH.

FNH: Mascarpone. Right. Well it’s clear you like cheese.

Giada: MOT-ZAHHHHH-RELLLL-LAHHHHHHHHHHH.

FNH: I see. How about you share one of your biggest on-air cooking mishaps?

Giada: RIG-AHHH-TONNNN-EEEEEEIIIGHHHHHH.

FNH: Fascinating. What about your husband Todd? He seems sort of awkward on camera. Is he just nervous?

Giada: SPAHH-GITTTTTT-TEEEEEEHHHHHH!

FNH: Oh Giada. You’re making me hungry. What’s your go-to comfort food?

Giada: PANNN-CHEEEETTT-TTAHHHHHHH.

FNH: Right. Pancetta. I should have known. Thanks, Giada. It’s been fun.

Giada: BEEEEEEE-SCHOOOOOTTT-TTTTEEEEEEE!

  3. DerekLutz says:

    No “Parmmmagiannnnno Reggggiannnnno?”

  4. Lefty says:

    This “interview” made me laugh so hard. I love you guys.

  5. Feikhal Madhur says:

    Is it true she refers to her husband as a fashion designer ?

    I know that sounds so much more glamorous than “product merchandiser” or “merchant” or product specialist.

    I don’t think Anthropoligie have designed much fashion in the past 10 years. They have copied and interpreted others clothing well though.

  6. Tatiana says:

    You’re pretty much correct. I’ve worked for two companies that have produced clothing for them, and what many stores like them do is go to manufacturers and pick styles that would be made for them exclusively under the Anthropologie label. However, there are usually a few people who develop their themes or general look for each season. Merchandiser fits the job description more closely.

  7. Feikhal Madhur says:

    So basically this is what Tadd does for Anthropologie.
    He goes out and shops others brands, obtaining samples, brings em back to headquarters and a bunch of people sit around dissecting the garment.

    The group decides which styles they like, what fabrics to use and which offshore factory they will place the order with.
    Just as I thought. he doesn’t design.He and his group collectively interprets other designers styles and hope for the best.

    I wonder if he went to design school.I know his wife likes to “amp up” her resume by claiming she went to the Cordon Bleu in Paris. Probably did, but she should tell everyone it was the 6 week version, not the intensive 2 year jobbie.

    What’s with all these FN people juicing their resumes ? Next we will find out John Cusimano went to “law” school in Mexico.

  8. Samhur says:

    Actually…Giada did attend the “intensive 2 year jobbie,” and that’s verifiable.

    You can assign any title you want to Todd, but there’s the simple fact that he has run a successful clothing design and manufacturing business for years, long before his wife was on TV. That’s easily verifiable too.

    This gnashing of teeth over everyone’s “credibility” is growing tiresome.

    Have a take…don’t suck.

  9. Feikhal Madhur says:

    So let’s verify if she did complete the 2 yr program bigmouth. I’ll bet you a thousand bucks she didn’t do the 2 yrs course. If she did, she would be all over it. In fact, she only admits to the pastry courses. Go figure numb nuts.

    As for the gnashing over credibilty, I think millions are all tired of some of the FN hacks trying to convince us they are expert. Leave the heavy lifting to the experts.

    As for Tadd’s design abilities, did you know Anthropologie are known fashion plagiarists who regularly “request” new designers to pitch them ? It is at a point now where it is understood Anthrpologie will thief your designs. That’s easily verifiable too. Just research how many lawsuits have been filed in the last 5 yrs in Los Angeles.

  10. Nell C. says:

    As they say, good artists borrow, great artists steal! The same theft claims are made for stores like Forever 21 and even Target. I say more power to them, since they make affordable versions of expensive designer clothes. I’m broke and still stylin’.
    None of this changes the fact that Tod is likely the single most awkward person on the Food Network.
    And I agree that many of the FN hosts are somewhat… underqualified. I have made some of Giada’s recipes, and they’re not bad, so I’ll give her that. Aunt Sandy, however, is the bane of culinary culture.

  11. Tatiana says:

    I happen to like a lot of Giada’s recipes. Mostly, I object to the way she and the other FN cooks are marketed, with those cutesy family and friends scenes. Or, in Giada’s case, those endless shots of her skeletal grin and cleavage. And I call the FN hosts cooks as I don’t consider most of them chefs. Rachael Ray is just one step up from a hash slinger, IMO, and Aunt Sandy proves with each and every show that she is just a cracker who married well. Nothing else says trailer trash more than those cheap ass tablescapes. FN has pretty much removed every decent cooking host and replaced them with, yes, the correct word is hacks.

  12. Phillie Phoodie says:

    It’s funny that in an interview from last year, Giada had the nerve to call Lydia Bastianich “boring”. I find Giada more boring and uninspiring than ever. “Giada at Home” is basically “Everyday Italian” with shots of her and her family on the beach. What happened to her? When did she get to be so f*****g boring? And when did her head get so big?

  13. Memoria says:

    BACK TO THE INTERVIEW/POST: I don’t see what is so wrong about pronouncing Italian terms correctly. At least she is not lazy with those words as many U.S. English speakers are (and yes, I’m from the U.S., but I also speak Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese). I find it refreshing and necessary that she pronounces all the words correctly since very few people in the U.S. do pronounce foreign words right.

    • Steelpen says:

      Memoria,

      I’m full Italian, and nobody, including the folks right off the boat, say any of those words like she does…she sounds like a non-Italian trying to pronounce Italian words, like Doris Roberts on “Raymond”.
