    I saw this episode over the weekend! She was throwing a party for some random friends of hers who were in a “band.” It took her 3 minutes to grate that cheese because she kept pausing to smile at the camera.

    She better go easy on the huge smiles. My dad’s a dentist and I foresee TMJ in her future!

    Those teeth are seriously starting to give me bad dreams.
    She’s starting to look like one of the Batman villains.
    Guess I grew up, long ago, with warning to NOT trust people who smile too much.
    (I mean, can she even stop smiling – is her jaw locked?)

    My husband has always called her “Pez”. You know, the way sticks her neck forward, as she grins and says, “Spag–eee-ti”.

    Shouldn’t “show cleavage” be in there some where?

    @Dan – I think you are right! In her sleep, Giada must slip into that jaw-clenching grin spasmodically , just like in her waking hours. Has she been checked for lockjaw?

      I bet she is hiding from the dentist, and maybe she uses a fake name with her dental insurance company so the can’t track her down.

    I am suddenly remembering that horror story “Sardonicus.”

    She should be a Pedi Egg spokesperson as well. She obviously loves to grate.

    Her famous line was: “I don’t want to be a pie! I don’t like gravy”…..yep, she was in ‘Chicken Run’, no doubt about it. Ain’t been that many choppers since Marlon Brando ran with the “Wild Ones”.

    This looks like still from an eighties soft core with a title along the line of The Naughty Nanny or Lonely House Wives.

    Ok, I just saw the cheese grating on the current repeat. Stupid grin, yes, but what was and continues to be more ‘grating on my nerves’ is her newfound enjoyment of obnoxiously smacking her food. How rude is that??? Girl, you’re on TV, AND you’re mic’ed. I know you’ve got chompers like one, but don’t eat like a damned horse. It’s DISGUSTING. I don’t need an aural confirmation that something is crunchy. I’ll take your word for it, thanks.

    I think I saw her say somewhere that Food Network told her she needed to smile more when she first started. They probably told her to show more “girls”. I guess she does what she’s told to do. It looks pathetic though…

    She hasn’t always done this with her smiling. If you look back at her older shows, her smile seems more to the norm. Same thing with the girls. Oh, and she handles her food like it’s ‘alive’ and she needs to be gentle to keep from causing injury. I say, ‘For crying out loud, just cook. After all, it’ a darn cooking show.”

      You’re right – the old “Everyday Italian” showed her actually cooking and not showing her knockers, teeth or doing that obnoxious squeal of hers. Those shows were actually enjoyable.
