I finally got around to watching this weekend’s episode of The Best Thing I Ever Ate (aka: a creative way for the Food Network hosts to promote restaurants that are probably owned by their friends/family). The subject was snack foods, and guess what groundbreaking stuff we learned? Anne Burrell loves nachos, Ted Allen loves pickles, and Giada loves HOT NUTS.
Seriously. She loves HOT NUTS so much, she gobbles them all up. She can’t stop herself from cramming all the the HOT NUTS down her throat. Luckily for us, she even demonstrated how she eats HOT NUTS:
Roll the video clip!
Giada, if eating HOT NUTS was an Olympic sport, you’d take home the gold medal for sure.

THIS WEEK: Ina Garten porn, Giada's gone Chinese, a review of Giada's Parmesan Garlic Dipping Sauce, Paranormal Cake Challenge, Down Home with the Neelys and Gina's rude sister, NFNS recap, tons of listener mail, and more!
She’s such a nut muncher…
She ate was hot nuts? No wonder Todd skateboards around his workplace and is thrilled to eat heart-shaped scones.
Giada: Just make the porn already. You’ve already proved your skills.
This comment had me spitting out coffee from laughing so hard!
Seriously? This is how you people spend your days? Picking apart every silly nuance of a television personality? You should feel embarrassed & ashamed at how lacking your own lives are that this is the best use of your time, creativity, and energy. Just b/c you don’t have what they may have, doesn’t mean you can’t be happy with where you’re at in life and strive to improve. Grow up.
It’s obvious she’s had a lot of practice.
We all know what Giada will be doing when her FN star fades. Maybe Aunt Raffi will even produce Giada’s first porn flick ;)
You’d think she could have washed her hair for her appearance on the show. She certainly took the time to apply ample bruise colored eye shadow. Looks like she hit herself in the face with the nuts.
Do you mean to say she’s been TEABAGGING?!?? LOL…..
LOL Motzi!!!! I came here just to post something about teabagging! LOLOLOL!
Without putting too fine of a point on it, yes. Thanks for saying it for me! Ha ha.
Maybe we should leave the gal alone…maybe she loves hot nuts all over her chin. So what.
MWAAAHHAHAHAH!!!! That’s the most hilarious thing ever. And I bet some male Food TV executive guy thought she looked like she was gobbling down a unit and didn’t even say anything like “hey, guys…are you sure we should air this? She looks a bit pornographic”…
(Stifling a snicker) Are you serious, Food Network? Giada & hot nuts?? Ted Allen & a pickle?
Yeah the Ted Allen thing is pretty funny too!
All she needs is to show how she loves Hot Cream with a mouth like that!
Would Gia pronounce it “EEEEEE-JAUQ-YOUUU-LLAAATE”????
Hahahahahahaha!!!
She could swallow an entire donkey with that mouth.
I swear she looks like a blow up doll in that last one…..
This made me laugh so hard I cried.
That is hilarious…she really does!
I mean, c’mon. Who *doesn’t* like hot nuts!
*wicked grin*
You can’t even see her uvula in that gaping maw video. It must have gone down with the hot nuts.
Hey FN is a family show.
Oh. Uvula. hehe
I swear, sometime I believe that Giada (Rachael&Claire even moreso) must be able to unhinge their jaws like sharks.
Oh shoot, I dislocated MY jaw laughing at your post!
I heard about this from my mom, she didn’t tell me they were “hot nuts.” We went to the Union Square Cafe where you could get the hot nuts, but they are only served at the bar. I would have loved some hot nuts ;)
>>>>> a creative way for the Food Network hosts to promote restaurants that are probably owned by their friends/family
Exactly. Or owned by other FN celeb chefs, even.
Could there be any more pathetic excuse for a program than to watch people sit around and describe things they ate once? I mean, really, watching people eat as entertainment is pretty pathetic (which is what most of FN programming is becoming, when its not game shows) but just talking heads talking about eating? That’s like a new all-time abyss for FN.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That second screen shot is priceless!! Looks like she’s getting ready for some serious tea-bagging!
Funniest thing I’ve seen all day — thank you!!!
Regarding the comment about the hosts advertising their friends and family on the show, Aarón Sánchez has showcased HIS MOM’s restaurant, his co-host on Chefs vs. City Chris Cosentino’s, and Iron Chef Michael Symon’s restaurant. Apparently he only eats at places where they don’t charge him to eat. Or live, regarding his mommy.
He probably figured out that after watching shows about the recommended restaurants, Food Network fans run to the restaurant being showcased, and figured HIS MOM needed blatant and shameless promotion.
Seriously???
ha ha ha! so true!
Well I guess Aaron’s mom’s restaurant came before his, and she taught him a lot of what he knows, so maybe he’s paying her back, like the good boy that he is ?
But overall it’s SO true what you said. The obvious cross-promotions are shameless.
When one of the FN hosts of “The Best Thing, etc.” went completely orgasmic over deli meat in a freakin’ sno-cone cup at Chris Cosentino’s restaurant, I knew the whole thing was a big joke.
Ya gotta love those hot nuts:

That video is hilarious!
Wow! Do the producers of these shows not know whats going on, or are they all having a huge laugh behind the cameras, and the chef’s backs?
Chocolate should be jealous. Thought that was her favorite.
What was she trying to suggest? That she loves pouring hot nuts all over her face? They might has well just gone full-hog and done a tit shot of her reaching for those hot nuts.
Well at least we all know how she landed a show on FN.
Boy, that was unfortunate.
Didn’t see this. By hot nuts, does she mean hot as in temperature, or hot as in spicy?
I’m more disturbed by the use of white eyeliner on her UPPER eyelids to make her eyes look bigger, than I am of her obsession with HOT NUTS. Yikes, talk about planning.
Someone said on a previous post that Giada is the most reddiculous person on TFN. I was about to argue that Pat Neely was the most asinine person on that network, but after watching that video, I have to concede defeat. Oh my god! I’m watching Best Thing I Ever Ate as I type this and her Hot Nuts segment just came on. How fortuitous. What’s with all the close-ps of her mouth? It’s like zooming in to the Grand Canyon. What an ass!!!
Was that someone fapping in the background? Dx
I lol’d.
I am with Giada on this one, I love hot nuts too :)
So are they hot in temperature or spicy? Never having encountered them, now I’m curious.
Ingredients:
* 2 1/4 cups (18-ounces) assorted unsalted nuts, including peeled peanuts, cashews, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans and whole unpeeled almonds
* 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
* 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
* 2 teaspoons Maldon or other sea salt
* 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the nuts in a large bowl to combine and spread them out on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven until light golden brown, about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the rosemary, cayenne, sugar, salt and melted butter.Thoroughly toss the toasted nuts in the spiced butter and serve warm. And once you eat these, you will never want to stop.
Ah, both. And those do sound yummy. But I don’t think I’ll eat them the way she does. I don’t have the mouth for it.
Great recipe Martin. I’ll have to try your hot nuts…. :)
The hot nuts are, at best, lukewarm with Giada’s fantastic spray tan.
For some reason I thought of Chef’s Salty Chocolate Balls song after all the talk about hot nuts. I’m surprised the Neelys don’t use it as their theme song.

Thanks for the link. I loved the song, but I feel it might be a bit too mild for them.
Ha, Chris, I thought of the same thing! I’ve seen many tributes to that song on YouTube, but the one you linked to is definitely one of the best. I had to laugh, though, at the photo of “egg whites” early on in the song–I’m pretty sure Chef meant raw egg whites, not hard-boiled! Loved the video anyway. :-)
I don’t get it.
Martin thanks for that hot nuts recipe!
You’re welcome :) If you decide to make them, I think you’ll agree that they are quite good.
Something is missing…
Where are her breasts?
I wonder if she’s ever accidentally dropped some hot nuts in her cleavage.
I like the taste of hot Brazilian nuts myself. Yum! :)
Wow, I guess I should start watching her show…
What the hell could she be thinking? Has she agreed to be FN’s full-on ratings whore???
