Ridiculous Alex Guarneschelli Quote Of The Week
 |
While we were on vacation, FNH reader John D. wrote in with a hysterical, spot-on assessment of judge Alex Guarneschelli’s appearances as a judge on Chopped:
“…she seems to have some arbitrary perspective on what a chef is; centered on the idea that she must always appear condescending and hypercritical even when there is nothing to criticize. So many times I’ve watched her make that stupid Guarneschelli squinty-eyed open-mouthed glance to the left as she conjures up an incredibly stupid sounding commentary…” -John D.
Exhibit A: When tasting a contestant’s prune dessert soup on Chopped, Alex Guarneschelli remarked, “I do find the prunes large. I do think if I were just given a spoon and no instruction I would be wrestling with these prunes a bit.”
Now she needs instructions on how to eat a prune? Come on, Alex. Get yourself a copy of “PRUNES FOR DUMMIES” and call it a day.
(Thanks for the tip, John!)

Thank you very much John D for pointing this out. I think this chick just loves the sound of her own voice sometimes and will say anything just for the sake of sounding authoritative.
Alex is THE most annoying person on any network to me. She thinks she knows everything about everything and I’m to the point where I don’t watch Chopped anymore because of her. And it used to be on my DVR list to watch religiously.
I’ve eaten at Butter twice now (where Alex is the executive head chef)…it sucks! What in the world does Food Network seen in her? She’s not talented, she’s not creative, she is the center of her own universe, she is an IDIOT! Please disappear Alex….or at least shut that big, fat mouth of yours. You are not the best, you not even close. So deal with it and stop trying to make others feel bad because you suck so bad.
And that smug look on your ugly face only makes it worse, hence the reason I don’t watch them, and apparently plenty of others also.
She isn’t the only “judge” on Food Network that acts like a fool sometimes.
Look at any Food Network Challenge. The judges on that show sound clueless most of the time.
I think they make a point of wearing chef jackets to reinforce to everyone they are actual “chefs” because much of their commentary is just gibberish and like Guarneschelli’s, void of substance or reason.
I like this feature! About time someone started calling Alexandra out. The woman is so high on herself that it’s disgusting. She almost makes Chopped unwatchable for me.
So true, so true. I would LOVE to see that self-centered moron compete in Chopped. She is terrible! She looks like a snake that’s getting ready to steal something. Awful…just awful.
The woman is a food snob x 100. Well said John D.
Oh, you guys are being so harsh! You’ve gotta admit prunes can be so terribly baffling. I’ve read Prunes for Dummies several times and I still don’t get it right every time ….
*snark snark*
Pics of Judge Alex wrestling with the prunes or it didn’t happen.
Thank goodness I’m not the only one who has a problem with this chick. She is an executive chef, as are many of the contestants on “Chopped”, yet I get the impression after seeing her as a judge on numerous occasions that she thinks she is somehow superior to her peers on the other side. And only because she hosts a show on FN, one that I don’t even watch.
I am an unabashed retard. I scored a “4″ on my S.A.T., I live in my mother’s basement, I have had a lobotomy, and I am completely satisfied occupying myself with only dirty crayons and mud to play with.
Thank you Food Network for creating a celebrity that even I can feel superior to. I eat my own poop.
Get ready for more Alex Guarnaschelli is truly her. They sure use enough make up on her face. The new show is a far cry from the Cooking Loft and Chopped. Those two shows were real stupid, but if we all copy her receipes and cook like Alex we’ll all end up in the ER room.
Alex Guarnaschelli is lame! Her ‘dirty look’ she give everyone is more than I can tolerate. I’d like to see HER compete in Chopped… wonder if she’d go out on the 1st or 2nd round? There is a contestant on another Food Network show that has that same ugly glare, she’s blond. Can’t remember what show, but UGH! is it a relative???
A ridiculously shallow “root comment” from John D. Of the range of chefs appearing on the Food Netork – particularly as judges, Alex G. is by far the most sublime. In other words, she has the greatest ability to translate the experience of the food – taste, aroma, texture, etc. into words. It’s a lot like reviews on art, architecture, interior design, music – they are sensory experiences difficult to verbalize. She excels. Your observations on “… squinty-eyed open-mouthed glance …” is a matter of Food Network editing. Maybe Brain Boitano is just for you.
Alex Guarneschelli seems to have something against any and all women (jealousy?). She almost always rails against female contestants while heaping huge amounts of praise on to the male contestants. Watch an episode of Chopped where it’s 3 guys against one woman and you’ll see what I mean.
I think that as chef she tries to judge to the best of her knowledge. I saw her competing in Iron Chef ans she is really good and probably knows a lot… but it’s true, sometimes when the other chefs are talking she gives then the “look”, and i actually wonder what’s that about… Also, if you see all of these shows where they judge people there is always a bad one, is part of the show and keep the tension
I saw a Chopped episode recently where she criticized a chef for barbecuing a squab. She called it a “sacrilege”. The other 2 judges actually complimented the chef for how well it was cooked and the sauce.
I wonder if she knows that Mario Batali (former Iron Chef) has a recipe for barbecued squab.
What a complete snob.
Lady, at the end of the day, you’re all just cooking food to make it taste good. You’re not gods in the kitchen.
