Giada Loves Hot Nuts
Posted on February 28th 2012 by Jillian Madison

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.

giada-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.

    She’s such a nut muncher…

  2. Jill (not Jillian) says:

    She ate was hot nuts? No wonder Todd skateboards around his workplace and is thrilled to eat heart-shaped scones.

  3. Robert says:

    Giada: Just make the porn already. You’ve already proved your skills.

    • Sue says:

      This comment had me spitting out coffee from laughing so hard!

      • Jane Stevens says:

        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.

      • Andrea says:

        we do plenty things with our time, making fun of Food Network and their wayward hosts is just part of it. it takes creativity to make a website that points out things no else has had the balls to say, for fear of being flamed by the mindless fan-base. strange that someone so smart like yourself would even waste your time reading the comments that you dislike so much,

  4. Motzi Greps says:

    It’s obvious she’s had a lot of practice.

    • CherryRose says:

      We all know what Giada will be doing when her FN star fades. Maybe Aunt Raffi will even produce Giada’s first porn flick ;)

  5. boke1 says:

    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.

    • Motzi Greps says:

      Do you mean to say she’s been TEABAGGING?!?? LOL…..

    • boke1 says:

      Without putting too fine of a point on it, yes. Thanks for saying it for me! Ha ha.

    • FingerFoodie says:

      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”…

  6. Gypsy says:

    (Stifling a snicker) Are you serious, Food Network? Giada & hot nuts?? Ted Allen & a pickle?

  7. Matthew says:

    All she needs is to show how she loves Hot Cream with a mouth like that!

  8. Would Gia pronounce it “EEEEEE-JAUQ-YOUUU-LLAAATE”????

  9. DeformedCookie says:

    She could swallow an entire donkey with that mouth.

  10. foodnetworksnark says:

    I swear she looks like a blow up doll in that last one…..

  11. Lana says:

    I mean, c’mon. Who *doesn’t* like hot nuts!
    *wicked grin*

  12. Jaded says:

    You can’t even see her uvula in that gaping maw video. It must have gone down with the hot nuts.

  13. Sandra says:

    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 ;)

  14. Ferd Berfle says:

    >>>>> 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.

  15. Spice Weasel says:

    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.

  16. Diane says:

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That second screen shot is priceless!! Looks like she’s getting ready for some serious tea-bagging!

  17. Sam says:

    Funniest thing I’ve seen all day — thank you!!!

  18. ILoveFood says:

    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???

    • Spice Weasel says:

      ha ha ha! so true!

    • Di says:

      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.

    • Ferd Berfle says:

      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.

  19. Lynxie says:

    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?

  20. oh_come_on says:

    Chocolate should be jealous. Thought that was her favorite.

  21. William says:

    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.

  22. teague says:

    Well at least we all know how she landed a show on FN.

  23. Hakuna Fritatta says:

    Boy, that was unfortunate.

  24. Marty says:

    Didn’t see this. By hot nuts, does she mean hot as in temperature, or hot as in spicy?

  25. Spatuler says:

    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.

  26. Trini says:

    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!!!

  27. Kitty says:

    Was that someone fapping in the background? Dx

  28. Martin says:

    I am with Giada on this one, I love hot nuts too :)

    • Sara says:

      So are they hot in temperature or spicy? Never having encountered them, now I’m curious.

      • Martin says:

        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.

      • Sara says:

        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.

    • Andy says:

      Great recipe Martin. I’ll have to try your hot nuts…. :)

  29. Jimmy Johnson says:

    The hot nuts are, at best, lukewarm with Giada’s fantastic spray tan.

  30. Chris says:

    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.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX8cIdXlHuU

    • Judith says:

      Thanks for the link. I loved the song, but I feel it might be a bit too mild for them.

    • Betty Crocker says:

      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. :-)

  31. Zoomaloo says:

    I don’t get it.

  32. Martin thanks for that hot nuts recipe!

  33. The Watcher says:

    Something is missing…

    Where are her breasts?

  34. John says:

    I wonder if she’s ever accidentally dropped some hot nuts in her cleavage.

  35. John says:

    I like the taste of hot Brazilian nuts myself. Yum! :)

  36. Robert Ogden says:

    Wow, I guess I should start watching her show…

  37. Sara says:

    What the hell could she be thinking? Has she agreed to be FN’s full-on ratings whore???

  38. Steve says:

    Is this the Food Network’s equivalent to “Jumping the shark”?

  39. Giles says:

    The first picture is hilarious, sniffing eyes closed “ummm” -_-

  40. RR's pompoms says:

    That mouth of hers seems to be able to accomodate an awful lot of hot nuts.

    I’ve got to wonder what she’s looking at – seems awfully focused on *something*.

  41. Sally says:

    Soooo… I am guessing all those “blind items” about her “oral exploits” are true.
