Default Barefoot Contessa

Not one of my favorites either. Not a good TV image. In addition to that
hebephrenic grin and the swallowing of most of her words, it is that
constant shaking of her unnetted hair over the food that she is preparing
that makes he happy I do not have to eat any of it. My impression is that
it all exists for the cocktails. In a recent ad the camera pans past all
of the other chefs busily cooking but when it comes to her she is downing
a cocktail. And, from the looks of her, not her first.
Now in all fairness to those we love to hate, they were trained as chefs
and not as performers. However, it would seem to me if you chose that
route, you would also take some acting lessons.
