Personally I say Morimoto (Iron Chef Japanese in both the US and Japanese versions of Iron Chef) is way better than the overwhelming majority of the chefs that appear on the Food Network. In the case of Rachael Ray, I'm not much of a fan of her cause of the shortcuts that she takes on various dishes, but I don't really hate her. However, I did think that the bashing they did to her on Metalocalypse was great:
(Toki is kneeling in prayer before the priest at the Church of Satan)
Priest: (to Toki) Pray now the prayer of revenge. From whom do you seek revenge?
Toki: I seek revenge on Rachael Ray and the Food Network. Can't you make her... eyes fall out or something? ...Tits fall off?
Priest: Satan, grant this man to get the revenge against his foes at the Food Network.
Toki: Seriously?
Priest: Yes.
Toki: S-seriously?
Priest: Yes.
Toki: Really?
Priest: Yes.
Toki: (in amazement) That's cooool.
