If you really believe that Michael Chiarello is straight, try watching his show with the sound turned off. No way you can convince me that man and his hand gestures are straight.

I saw a Soy Joy ad that I think had a FN url that people could get recipes from. STOOPID ad, which is sad since I really like the Soy Joy product and brand.

So maybe the MC ad was some sort of a coventure like the soy joy ad.

Yuck.

Checked out the Marie Callender microwaveable pastas at Meijer today. There appeared to be 8 or 10 varieties with sodium mg. per serving (11 oz) ranging from 930-1190 on the packages that I checked. Indulging in these barf bowls is sure to bring on a headache that rivals Chinese take-out along with ring-around-the-ankles.

Saw a Marie Callender Pasta Bowl commercial last night during Law & Order (NBC). No Michael Chiarello: This ad featured a female spokesperson. Perhaps the Chiarello version that airs repeatedly on FN is a joint project for both parties.

I think Michael is working around breaking any advertising laws (i.e. needing to use the item he is endorsing) by never actually mentioning the Marie Callender’s food. He just talks about how to make proper al dente pasta. Pretty sneaky.
