Food Network Tidbits

(and more Rachael Ray Show fallout, naturally.)

First, a few Food Network items:

• If you read nothing else today, check out this informative, insightful article about the Food Network from Bill Buford at the New Yorker. He lays out the concrete reasons why the Food Network has changed over the last couple years.
• This Details feature is called Sexpots in the Kitchen. Enough said.

Now for the Rachael Ray gossip:

• Radar is reporting behind-the-scenes strife at the Rachael Ray show.
• Apparently the Rachael-branded appliances that are sold at Target are defective.
• Another review of the Rachael Ray Show, calling it a "train wreck".
