Aaron McCargo Named One Of Last Decade’s Sexiest Chefs (Really?)
Posted on January 8th 2010 by Jillian Madison

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.

  2. Zeit says:

    he can’t even pronounce his OWN NAME!!!

  3. Dave says:

    As a heterosexual male, I can tell you with 100% certainty that I don’t find Aaron McCargo sexy.

  4. Eyeris says:

    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!!!!!!!!

  5. Stephanie says:

    Am I crazy for thinking he looks a little feminine in this picture?

  6. Jimbo says:

    Nigella, Giada and Padma. nuff said. ;)

    Aaron? NUFF OF HIM ! PUHLEEZE!

  7. Kenneth says:

    At least Claire Robinson got an honorable mention. I’d love to toss her around for a night.

  8. kellycat says:

    To each his own, I don’t think he is. Tyler Florence is hot though JMO.

  9. Boobilicious says:

    There aren’t a ton of African-American chefs on TV, so they had to call SOMEONE “sexy”.

  10. Lana says:

    No. No no no no no. No.

  11. jamie oliver looks like he’s just come off of a two year bender.

  12. Thom Stilton says:

    Does his cap read “Bad Boy” ? Are you kidding me ?

    Otay , Chipotay .

  13. Thom Stilton says:

    Bad boy, bad dog. Looks like a prison line cook if you axe me.

  14. FoodieOne says:

    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.

  15. FoodieOne says:

    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??

  16. BOO! says:

    Curtis Stone just oozes sexy!

  17. CherryRose says:

    Is Gina Neely wondering why Pat didn’t make the list?

  18. Julie says:

    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.

  19. 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.

  20. Motzi Greps says:

    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!

  21. pukey says:

    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.

  22. BorgQueen says:

    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.

  23. merijoe says:

    HOT? to who? those who read braille?

  24. Busta_91 says:

    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.)

    • BorgQueen says:

      I have to say that quite surprises me. Jamie Oliver is like a gay icon among some of my friends…

    • CherryRose says:

      Thank goodness for that, Busta! You had me worried for a nano-second ;) RayRay? No way!

    • pumpkin.pi says:

      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.

  25. Lynxie says:

    i prefer guys who wear less makeup and jewelery than me.

  26. foodnetworksnark says:

    Just give me Anthony Bourdain for a night and I am happy. Snarkiness is next to sexiness…..

  27. zyncooktop says:

    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!

  28. LNoctem says:

    You think that’s bad, look at the comments!

  29. Blancmange says:

    Who did the voting? His family? Really? No. Really? Why? And we watch this channel because of him? No.

  30. Alex says:

    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.

  31. Kate says:

    Hell no he isnt sexy!

  32. Kate says:

    Florence Tyler?????????????? HELL NO!

  33. Mort says:

    I guess Aaron is sexy if you have a Mr. Clean fetish.

    TyFlo is a himbo. He needs a razor and a dictionary.

  34. Ren says:

    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.

  35. Jimmy Johnson says:

    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.

  36. DippyDog says:

    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.)

  37. Robert says:

    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.

  38. Daria says:

    Am I the only person who wants to rip those stupid gold hoop earrings out of his ears everytime I see his picture?

  39. jpquinlan says:

    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.

  40. Calvin says:

    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.

  41. trentsketch says:

    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.

  42. Scott says:

    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?

  43. East Coast Cynic says:

    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:)

  44. Fat_Italian_Broad says:

    I think Harold from Top Chef Season #1 is cute.

  45. Boobilicious says:

    HA! I just read the comments on that website and someone asked why Duff and Guy didn’t make the list!

  46. Hakuna fritatta says:

    Umm…no. Just no.

  47. Detroit66 says:

    As we say in Detroit….OH NO YOU DI-UNT!!!

  48. Bluey says:

    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!

  49. cookie says:

    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.

  50. Barb says:

    He is not only not sexy, he is repulsive in every way.

  51. FoodieOne says:

    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.

  52. Stargirl says:

    Zeit?How do u pronounce that? if u even know

  53. MissKim says:

    Why is it these Food Network stars (Aaron, Restaurant Chef, Tyler – to name a few), taste from the serving platter or bowl, then using the same utinsil, will dive back in for another taste? You would think someone on set would tell them that’s nasty! But they have the nerve to tell folks to be sure to wash their hands?!? How about throwing that fork/spoon in the sink and using a clean one – how about that! DISGUSTING!

  54. JJ says:

    As a straight guy I don’t think Aaron is some hideous ghoul- he is an average looking guy, but he seems pretty nice for the most part. Maybe it is his niceness that some people find sexy?

    I’ve heard that sort of thing goes a long way with the over 30 crowd.

  55. Dee says:

    Why is Aaron not sexy? Why is he repulsive? He may not be my type but I certainly wouldn’t call him repulsive. He has a very sweet personality and is pretty knowledgable about what he is cooking and how to cook it. It is annoying when he dips that pinky into the food to taste, but he certainly does not use the same utensil to taste from and stick back in the food. Many of the cooks mispronounce the names of foods or herbs, etc. So what. We know what they are talking about. How do u say “worcestershire”??? If you want to call anyone repulsive, let’s talk about Paula. She’s a horrible cook and the only thing I find worth watching about her is her sense of humor and personality. Otherwise, all those white sauces and and white foods and overly sweet desserts are horrible. And Giada, what’s up with her? I am tired of seeing all her cleavage exposed over the food. It’s stupid. It’s supposed to be about the food, not whose sexy or whose pretty. That smile on that big head is annoying. Sandra Les is too sugary and use too much prepared ingredients high in salt. I could go on and on. Anyway, I say we need more Aaron McCargo.
