In this oldie but goodie video clip from Iron Chef America, judge Julie Powell served up one of the most idiotic – yet hilarious – critiques in the show’s history:
Frankly, we’re surprised the anal folks at the Food Network didn’t edit the peaness statement out. It’s good to know they really value their peaness-es.
[Thanks for the tip, Daniel!]

This reminds me of the first time a censor bleep was used on Food Network. Paula Deen was frying chicken and the oil splattered on her hand. She instinctively yelped, “son of a bitch!” Ahh, good times, good times.
OMFG! I didn’t know what to expect, but when I heard her say penis (peaness) I almost fell outta my chair. It looked like the other two judges caught it and made alarming jestures. I sure wish there was alot of “peaness” going on at my house. Just me and the energizer bunny hangin’.
^Me too Cheryl, me too :)
I laughed rather obnoxiously at this. So obnoxiously that one of the guys across the hall asked what I was laughing at and so I showed it to him and he just cackled at it. Alex, is there a clip of Pauler’s scene somewhere out in cyberspace?
LOL! A girl can never have too much “peaness”.
“LOL! A girl can never have too much “peaness”.”
@CR: I’m blushing!
The only thing that could have made it more weird is if the chef had also prepared spotted dick…
@CherryRose: Some guys feel the same way. ;)
@Busta: I haven’t found one yet. I saw it when the episode originally aired.
Thank god for BirdsEye – so I can always get my minimum daily requirement of peaness.
The girl commenting on the “peaness” was not Hannah Storm, Hannah was the lady next to her who almost choked. Hannah used to be a local anchor where I live and that was not her.
By the way, I looooove this site.
Well, she did say she liked it…..
Urban Dictionary beat us to the peaness…for $21.50 buy a coffee mug which reads:
Peaness how peay (as in the vegetable) something is.
This Indian takeout has a very large peaness to it.
@Jillian: Sharon is correct. The judge that couldn’t get enough peaness is culinary author Julie Powell.
I almost dropped the pot of spaghetti when I heard that! hahah one of my favs!
All this time, Christina Aguilera was singing to the “Jolly Green Giant”
What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Whatever makes me happy, sets you free
I only looked, but I never touched
Ha ha! The woman who said it looks like she remained clueless.
Reminds me of a story my cousin used to tell about an experience he had while a college student at UCSC. It was in a philosophy class, and the professor was droning on and on, and most of the students (including my cousin) were asleep or on the verge of it. The professor tried to wake up the class by asking a question: “What is the object of all desire?” An exchange student with a very thick French accent shot up his hand and responded enthusiastically, “HAPPINESS!” The only problem was, with his accent, he didn’t pronounce the hard “H,” and he put the accent on the wrong syllable, so it came out sounding like “A PENIS!” Apparently that woke up the entire class and it took a while for the professor to figure out what the poor student was trying to say. Good times.
Alex, THAT was Julie Powell? Of “Julie & Julia” fame? Seriously? That explains a lot.
@Betty: You’re exactly right.
They offer upsome real quality judges on ICA don’t they ?
This dweeb womam just continues the tradition.
I love the other manatee female judge,Karine Bakush.
hahaha…i loved seeing the other two judges almost spraying their food out trying hard not to laugh!
Didn’t the FN just take over some stock in the travel Channel?
If that’s the case,
my buddy Anthony Bourdain stands a real good chance of less “bleep-age” now…….
Nice to see some girls these days still enjoy pleanty of pea-ness tho…..
Rooosebud.
Yes, Rosebud Frozen Peas. Full of country goodness and green pea-ness.

Is that really the Julie of Julie and Julia? She looks larger.
Apparently, George, it is the real Julie Powell. But maybe you’re thinking of the actress who played Julie Powell in the movie? That was Amy Adams, and yes, the actress is much thinner (and better looking) than her real subject.
Thanks for clarifying Betty.
And you’re right about the looks.
