Archives for "Claire Robinson"

For weeks, I’ve been tweeting about the fact that Food Network oh-so-casually left out Claire Robinson’s photo and profile from their scrollable “Our Chefs” slider on virtually every page of their annoying, pop-up ridden website.

Jose Garces and Scott Conant, chefs who’ve had about 8 seconds of camera time in the last 2 years, are on featured on the freaking stupid scrollbar. But Claire Robinson isn’t. That’s really odd.

Judging by how quickly Food Network removes our “ridiculous recipes” and miscellaneous other fails after we tweet about them, you know they’re stalking us and reacting accordingly. Using that logic, since I’ve mentioned it several times on Twitter, I don’t think Claire being left out was a mistake or an accidental omission.

Okay, FNH, who has the scoop? What happened to Claire Robinson? Did she run off and join the circus, or is Food Network still outsourcing its web design jobs to primates?

[note: photo updated, since the last one I posted was a duplicate. Thanks to wikk3d for sharing.]

Claire sure does love making the blow-up doll face, doesn’t she? This particular edition (complete with sparkly shirt and boobage that producer Bobby Flay was sure to get all up in) is from this weekend’s episode of 5 Ingredient Fix.

I am out of town this weekend, so thanks to Michelle for e-mailing us the photo. If you see any funny stuff on Food Net this weekend, snap a pic and send it in!

And if you’re feeling nostalgic, you can check out the Claire Robinson Blow-Up Doll v1.0 and v2.0!

If you’ve been a regular watcher of the Food Network over the past year and a half, you’ve probably noticed the network’s ongoing efforts to sex up Claire Robinson. They literally had her going from “flannel shirts and buns” to “cameras zoomed in on her foodgasming with her hair down” almost overnight. We’re not saying the change has been a bad thing – it’s just that the Food Network hasn’t exactly been subtle about it.

As such, it is with great hilarity that we stumbled upon a seriously dolled up Claire Robinson on the front page of… BIMBO BAKERIES, encouraging us to “get creative in the kitchen.” Yeah. Let me just get right on that.

I’m sure there are a lot of jokes to be made here. I’m just not going to touch them with a ten foot pole!

(Thanks for the tip, Ben!)
