Before Rachael Ray was all over the planet and the known universe, I used to watch her on the Food Network's $40 a Day. On that show, Ray Ray would visit a different city and see if she could eat three great meals with only forty bucks in hand. As you'd expect, she succeeded (let's just say she wasn't the most generous tipper), but that wasn't the most interesting part of the program. What was most interesting was the disturbingly orgasmic reactions RR had to the food she was eating at each restaurant. The reaction was exactly the same, no matter what she was eating: eyes closed, she'd moan "Mmmmmmm" for the exact same length of time, open and roll her eyes back into her head, then smile. Cute the first time, it felt pretty creepy after the first dozen or so episodes.
