What’s In Our Inbox: E-mails From FNH Readers (Part 3)
![]() |
(You guys asked for it… so you got it! This will now be a reoccurring feature on FNH.)
Here’s a collection of actual e-mails we’ve received from some “interesting” people over the past week, along with our responses in red. We did not alter the emails in any way. The ignorance you’re about to read is real. The names have not been changed to protect the innocent… or the stupid.
1. Shirl wrote in saying:
Dear anne burrell,
Ignore these fruit cakes (is it Christmas already?). They don’t feel good about them selve so hey try and make someelse feel bad (excuse me? Was that even English? Aaron McCargo, is that you?). Hope it nothing but a good laugh (did you skip grades 3-11 by any chance?). Cause your great (YOUR great!?!?) who cares what a bunch of loosers say I’m sure they don’t have anything better to do but post comments (More like YOU have nothing better to do than e-mail humor sites grammatically incorrect psycho fan letters to Anne Burrell). Me I’m a R.N..Trauma…So keep up the super job. -Nurse from texas (This is what’s working the emergency rooms in Texas? Jesus. Talk about terrifying.)
2. Martin wrote in saying:
Dear fn, How many cake challenges has duff goldman won?
One for every hair on his head.
3. Leann wrote in saying:
Hello, how much are typical meals in florence? Since you have experience, I was hoping you could give me some clues as to what you look out for. Any help appreciated. Thank you very much.
(WHO the hell does Leann even think she’s writing to? WTF? Now we’re Frommer’s?)
4. Judy wrote in saying:
I was at home today, caught Guy Fieri’s show in the afternoon (why subject yourself to that?!) – can’t find the recipe for the pork shoulder he made with some man in Connecticut (are you sure it was a man? Maybe it was just Anne Burrell in a flannel button down). Today is Tuesday, 7/21 = they also made macaroni and cheese – I thought I could find the recipes on the web page, but couldn’t help, please
(Judy, you can’t find anything on the Food Network’s website because it’s awful… and it has all those autostart videos and Netflix popunders to boot! Seriously though, you’re talking about the episode he filmed with the owner of Wilson’s Bar-B-Q in Fairfield CT, which was also featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. We’ve eaten there, and the brisket was drier than Alton Brown’s sense of humor. Trust me, you don’t want this guy’s recipe for the pork shoulder, especially after it’s been Fieri-ized.)
5. Cyndi from Wisconsin wrote in saying:
Have the judges do a cake challenge. I would love to see Kerry’s work. She is quick to judge others lets see what she can do. I love the cake challenges…. look forward to them every week.
(Well, Cyndi, we don’t know what Kerry Vincent can do with a cake, but we hear she can make a fashionable headband out of car tires and chicken wire.)
6. Yolanda Rivera-Ayala wrote in saying:
I WOULD LIKE OT PURCHASE THE BOBBLE HEAD I CAN’T FIND IT ON THE WEBSITE?
First, WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING AT ME? Second, what bobble head are you talking about? You might want to elaborate, or spend 4 seconds thinking about what you’re typing before firing off an e-mail. We’re not mind readers. Third, if you’re referring to the Guy Fieri bobble head, sorry, they’re no longer available. We purchased the entire stock and drove over them with our cars. (Don’t I wish.)
7. Ann Camac wrote in saying:
who are the winners from seasons 1234
Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, and Carrie Underwood.

I think this might be my favorite feature on this site… well, after anything bashing Rachael Ray, ofc.
“Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, and Carrie Underwood.”
Comedy.
Seriously. You aren’t making this shit up?
God, PLEASE never let me need trauma care in TX.
I don’t like the crack on Alton Brown’s humor.
I managed to get through all the emails, but the first one almost killed me. Too bad it’s from a trauma nurse in Texas because I live in Texas. Now she’s trying to kill me. Talk about drumming up business.
I think I need to lie down now.
HAHAHA
your #5 response, though, should be “UNfashionable headband.”
Jillian, these were so funny! Thanks for putting these in regular rotation, I need a gut-splitting laugh every now and then.
@Byrdie: Yeah, Shirl (WTF – is that even a name) from Texas really hurt us. (hope she’s far enough away from H-town)
“Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, and Carrie Underwood.”
*Best one yet*
Jenn, let’s keep our fingers crossed she’s in Dallas or some parts far away…far, far away! sorry, Dallas folk…
Leann didn’t mention which Florence. I’d assume she means the one in Italy, but there are 21 in the United States (22 if you count Florence-Graham, California) and one in Canada. Either way, most public libraries carry travel guides.
@Byrdie: I accept your apology on behalf of Dallas.
I would joke that if Shirl is in Dallas she probably works at Parkland, but the hospital can’t really help its reputation for being in a rough neighborhood.
Wouldn’t this new feature be recurring not “reoccuring”.

ahaha . . . I can’t help but agree. Put your money where your puckered prunish little mouth is, Kerry !
drier than Alton Brown’s sense of humor
rotflmao
I love number seven…haha.
Kerry Vincent is “quick to judge” because that’s what she gets PAID TO DO. She can probably make a right fair cupcake for the bake sale, but people tune in to see her stinkmouth the contentants (and to catch those sassy hair accessories). Just sayin’.
And I agree with ChefCatt and Jenn… these e-mails crack me up!
I adore your site. But just one tiny thing; I think you meant “recurring” feature. There is no such word as “reoccurring”. Because you are quick to point out others’ misspellings, I thought you’d want to know.
I love this feature and I frankly don’t give a shit if it’s recurring or reoccurring.
“It’s rekorean!” – Debbie
I like Designerjeans answer…;)
I love this feature too but please do promise to make them more frequent. You make promises that you don’t always keep.
Things We Hate. I thought this was a regular feature ?
FNH Search Entries . Same thing.
@Silvio, no one really seemed to care about the FNH search terms, so we stopped posting them. Same with FNH Foodie of the Week. There was virtually zero discussion after each post, so we just decided to stop the entire feature.
Don’t worry though, FNH Inbox won’t be ending anytime soon!
I love these posts!
Rekorean. That’s funny, Designer jeans.
I love these posts, too.
Jillian, have you ever asked one of these emailers how they came to the conclusion that a humor blog that bills itself as such was the Food Network site?
A simple Google search puts your site the sixth link down the page – they literally have to go past the obvious FN site link and then FN link for recipes, the Wikipedia page link (which has a link to the FN), the Google news links and then some link about being a Food Network Addict (sadly in need of an intervention).
Just curious – and praying I never need health care in the hospital that employs Shirl.
I adore Alton’s dry humor, but I abhor dry meat.
The one with the trauma nurse HAD to have been made it. It just has to be. *facepalm* Thank God I’m a Yank.
Oooh please do a post on Kerry Vincent! She is comedy fodder!
I don’t believe that Shirl is a nurse. That letter reads like a delusional psych patient sent that in. There’s too many things wrong with that letter to list here. I’m a nurse myself, I work in a level 1 trauma center in NY. Nurses in general have a hard enough time getting respect, without some one circulating emails like that. I only hope that Shirl is locked up somewhere, and not in a hospital taking care of anyone.
I just found this website and I cannot stop reading. Each and every post makes me laugh. Thanks!
The 7th e-mail with the American Idol winners is my favorite.
