A food blog called the Daily Fork just released a list of the “Sexiest Culinary Celebrities of the Last Decade.” Of course, Nigella, Giada, and Padma all made the list. BUT SO DID AARON MCCARGO JR.
Really, Daily Fork? You guys think Aaron McCargo is… sexy?
Out of curiosity, what does it for you, exactly? Is it the bald head, or the way he can’t quite pronounce the word “artichoke?”

I see doughy Tyler Florence made the list as well. Combine that with Aaron McCargo and it’s officially the worst list on the internet.
he can’t even pronounce his OWN NAME!!!
As a heterosexual male, I can tell you with 100% certainty that I don’t find Aaron McCargo sexy.
LMAO Dave. As a gay girl, I can tell you I don’t find him sexy either.
What’s with his shiny fingernails? That is such a turn off!
Great! It’s nice to see McCargo’s unsexiness knows no bounds.
Well, I’m a gay male, and I sure as hell don’t find him sexy either! Does that cover all the angles?
This nearly-60-year-old-heterosexual female doesn’t see anything remotely sexy about McCargo or any of the other males on the list, for that matter…but, I do think that Ted Allen is cute ;)
Well George. Let me ask you. Seriously, do you find his nail polish appealing? Or is it just me?
No, but I’m a straight woman and I don’t find him remotely sexy.
Jesus. Why do people even make stupid lists like that? The same 4 people keep getting named so what’s the point. Giada Padma Nigella are attractive. Message received!!!!!!!!
Am I crazy for thinking he looks a little feminine in this picture?
I think he looks like he’s ready to go to Tuschman’s office, maybe Bob likes a little teeth with his “service”?
Nigella, Giada and Padma. nuff said. ;)
Aaron? NUFF OF HIM ! PUHLEEZE!
At least Claire Robinson got an honorable mention. I’d love to toss her around for a night.
With her suzie-homemaker apron on I assume.
I’d bounce her around myowndamnself
Add the tag “Recently single” to Claire Robinson…yum…wait, I’m married…
To each his own, I don’t think he is. Tyler Florence is hot though JMO.
There aren’t a ton of African-American chefs on TV, so they had to call SOMEONE “sexy”.
hell…then pick Pat Neely if you just have to pick an afro-american! Aaron’s nose is the size of a football!
I don’t mind the nose as much as I mind those gigantic hoop earrings!
No. No no no no no. No.
jamie oliver looks like he’s just come off of a two year bender.
Does his cap read “Bad Boy” ? Are you kidding me ?
Otay , Chipotay .
look like “bad dog” to me…
Yep! It says ‘Bad Boy’ and on the back it says ‘Just Don’t Speak’
Bad boy, bad dog. Looks like a prison line cook if you axe me.
I have never understood the appeal of Jamie Oliver. When he was first on tv he was like 12 years old with the worst hairdo ever. I’m down with his whole sustainablility thing, but he has honestly never prepared anything that I would want to eat.
It’s the accent and the adorable lisp. Plus he seems like he really knows how to use his hands, if you know what I’m sayin’
Ohhh baby, you nailed Jamie’s appeal.
I’m just noticing this picture of Aaron McCargo. Where in the world was it taken?? I looks like combination bathroom, computer lab, and kitchen. Who has tiles that look like that??
The photo is a screen grab from one of his YouTube videos. Apparently, he’s getting his own cook book (rolling eyes) and they’re in some dump in New Jersey creating recipes for it.

Who would want to buy one of this cementheads cookbooks?
Really?
Jillian,
I think you meant to say they are in some dump in New Jersey looking thru magazines and other people’s cookbooks trying to make it look like McCargo can write his own cookbook.
Curtis Stone just oozes sexy!
Gorgeous eyes!
His accent and wry smile makes me melt into a puddle…
Is Gina Neely wondering why Pat didn’t make the list?
Are you kidding me? That’s the last thing I’d think…sexy???? But then, why the hell does it matter whether a chef is sexy or not? Why are we so hung up on SEXINESS??? For dumb.
I don’t get it either.
And he has to reinforce the notion to others he’s a chef by putting “Chef” in front of his name on his chefs coat.
And maybe Bob T. tries to aim his spooge through an earing loop for an extra 10 points.
Holy bandana Batman! I thought that was a modern update of Aunt Jemima when I first looked! Sexy?! F–k no.
Whatchya talkin’ bout Willis? Watz dat spous’d 2 mean? Y’all sayin Ize be lookin’ like a bitch?
Mrs. Butterworths gonna cut this ho! Dis fool’s all up in my demo!
maybe they let a blind and deaf person make the list this year; that’s the only logic i could come up with for the fact that tyler florence is #1. yeah, homeboy used to be attractive…in 2001. then he mated with the pillsbury doughboy and emerged from hibernation, resembling the staypuft marshmallow man.
I would go gay for Nigella before I would stay straight for Tyler Florence.
Oh, who am I kidding, I would go gay for Nigella anyway.
HOT? to who? those who read braille?
I’d go straight for Nigella or Giada before I’d do anything for Aaron McCargo, Jamie Oliver, or Tyler Florence. Hell, I’d do RayRay before them…(which means never.)
I have to say that quite surprises me. Jamie Oliver is like a gay icon among some of my friends…
Thank goodness for that, Busta! You had me worried for a nano-second ;) RayRay? No way!
What does everyone have against T-Flo? I’ve always found him quite sexy. But I would go gay for Nigella. Giada,ehh not so much. Her head resembles to much of a creature from another planet.
i prefer guys who wear less makeup and jewelery than me.
WORD!
Just give me Anthony Bourdain for a night and I am happy. Snarkiness is next to sexiness…..
Mmmm hmmm.
I’m also glad Cat Cora got made the list. I think she’s hella hot.
Aaron McCargo Jr.- the “Flavor of Bold” is clearly the anti sexy of humanity. Didn’t know that Cat Cora is gay- “not that there’s anything wrong with that!
You think that’s bad, look at the comments!
Who did the voting? His family? Really? No. Really? Why? And we watch this channel because of him? No.
Seeing this list makes me think of one thing: Food Network desperately needs ethnic diversity, and not the stereotypical kind. I love to see and learn from people that are different from me.
Hell no he isnt sexy!
Florence Tyler?????????????? HELL NO!
I guess Aaron is sexy if you have a Mr. Clean fetish.
TyFlo is a himbo. He needs a razor and a dictionary.
It’s interesting to read that one of the reasons they list him as sexy is because Food Network doesn’t list he has a wife on his profile. Guess them thinking he’s sexy means they have never watched his show.
Padma is no surprise to make this anti-list. Claire Robinson is kinda cute. Giada is cute in a smurf-like, Jim Henderson bobbly-ness kind of way.
My honourable mention for Food Network Canada would be Laura Calder.
Okay…Aaron made the list, Tyler Florence made the list, and Antony Bourdain only made runner up?
He should have at least gotten Miss Congeniality (hope I spelled that right.)
I think we’re all missing the “glass half full” angle here — Guy Doucherri did not make this list. It’s kind of like a reverse Schindler’s List.
Am I the only person who wants to rip those stupid gold hoop earrings out of his ears everytime I see his picture?
Nope. All he needs is a puffy shirt, and he’ll really look like a pirate.
No! You’re not….
They make him look like a circus clown or the freak-show attraction at the carney. Hideous.
A Food Blog called the “Rusty Shiv” has just announced that Aaron McCargo is their sexiest chef of the year. Rated #1 for who you’d like to have pick up the soap in the shower. Folsum Prison News.
Coming from a gay man, he’s not my cup of tea. I don’t find him sexy at all (actually, kind of gross), but I guess, to each his own.
Aaron out, Ina in, this list would have been perfection. Ina’s sexy because of her confidence, intelligence, and undercurrent of naughtiness. You know she makes Jeffrey do bad things to her after his weekly roast chicken that would make her gay friends blush. And don’t forget her love of roleplay, like that time she turned into Truman Capote for a classy dinner.
Ummm…eeeewwwww!!
I don’t think he’s sexy but…compared to every other guy on Food Network he looks sexy.
To be honest, what male chefs DO look sexy?
Claire Robinson is definitely prettier than an honorable mention.
They also needed to mention Amanda Freitag, Aida Mollenkamp, and Sandra Lee–I know she can’t cook and gives off a stepford wife vibe, but on a pure looks level, she’s pretty cute.
In the non cook category, they forgot Susie Fogelson–the hair and the full lips:)
Amanda Freitag?? She has that weird eyebrow thing going on that makes her look like she’s constantly scowling.
I think Harold from Top Chef Season #1 is cute.
HA! I just read the comments on that website and someone asked why Duff and Guy didn’t make the list!
Umm…no. Just no.
As we say in Detroit….OH NO YOU DI-UNT!!!
I think he’s cute. He’s got a really nice smile too. Not Duff Goldman. He looks like Count von Count on Sesame Street. YUCK!
Yuck!
I do like Tyler though, I think he’s really cute, but he’s a little bit like a Jack Russel in the hyper department (he’s mellowed a tiny bit though.)
Curtis Stone is pretty nice looking too.
He is not only not sexy, he is repulsive in every way.
Who is that chef who sometimes makes guest appearences on Top Chef. He’s French, tall, has gray hair, and his specialty is fish. THAT guy can cook for me anytime he wants.
Eric Ripert
Zeit?How do u pronounce that? if u even know
