Attack of the Stepford Blondes on Food Network
Okay… Really? How many stepford like blondes can The Food Network emplo? And yes, I am including Guy Fieri in this list. So, first we had semi homemade with Sandra Lee. The stepfordiest of all the blondes. An entire show dedicated to packaged food & ugly “tablescapes”. Then they gave her Money-Saving Meals, where all of a sudden all the convenient foods she promoted on semi-homemade were now out of the question because they are too expensive. LOL! Now we havy Melissa D’Arabian with $10 dinners. Wait. Isn’t that what Sandra Lee’s new show is about? I am confused! Another perky blonde that lives to cook for her family. Don’t forget Giada… A little less stepford, but yet ANOTHER perfect blonde cooking dinner for hubby. I included Guy Fieri in this because he is a stepford blonde in Ted Hardy clothing. He is what the execs at Food Network knows is “cool” in middle America’s eyes without being threatening or “scary” (think Anthony Bourdain here). But really, under the bleached spikes, he is just another stepford wife aiming to please. And when you try to please everybody, you get boring, cookie cutter television.
