Archives for "Anne Burrell"

We first posted about this topic back in April of 2009, but it bears repeating: the Food Network chefs are horrible at Twitter. They’re just as dull on the internet as they’ve become on television. When they’re not sending out loathsome self-promotional tweets about their book signing schedules or television appearances, they’re just TOTALLY FREAKING BORING. Paula Deen pimps out Smithfield Hams and Guy Fieri pimps out Ritz Crackers. Giada sends photo-less tweets about “glorious sunsets” and Claire Robinson talks about having a “love affair with cauliflower.”

Jesus. I almost fell asleep just WRITING that shit.

And then, there’s Anne Burrell… the only interesting chef on Twitter. We give credit where credit is due, and frankly, the woman is a breath of fresh air in the Twitterverse. She doesn’t take herself too seriously, she seems really real, and she actually gets the fact that Twitter is supposed to be a crazy little place for people to share the interesting things that are happening in their lives. Her tweets are interesting, funny, relatable, and they shed a lot of sparkly light on her personality. Don’t believe me? In the past week alone, she’s documented a trip to London, her quest to get a pat-down by a hot TSA agent, and a day out getting matching tattoos. WITH HER MOM.
