So when I read that Paula Deen got an accidental pork facial during a charity event, I couldn't help but chuckle just a bit at the irony (a ham hits a "ham" -- get it?). I actually don't mind Paula Deen at all. She doesn't seem pretentious and I just think she found a niche and figured out a way to hack out a living doing it. Nonetheless, I propose that the following ten "celebrity" chefs (from the Food Network and elsewhere) receive the appropriate gastronomic projectile hurled at their noggins:
1) Guy Fieri and a 15-inch Mexican spaghetti hoagie.In homage of the man who loves to take completely contrasting culinary concepts and smash them together like a bizarre food derby. The impact of the sandwich wouldn't hurt, but the hours required to "desauce" his hair would be sufficient. 2) Rachel Ray and a Christmas-sized Hillshire Farm summer sausage.
For nothing else than the mark it would leave. I would spend hours practicing my form. 3) Sandra Lee and a can of Spaghetti O's.
I got Boudain's back on this. The can is dense and metal, inflicting maximum damage. 4) Rocco DiSpirito and a plate of Mario Batali's "mint love letters with spicy lamb sausage."
Just so he knows what Italian food is supposed to taste like. 5) Gordon Ramsay and a Martha Stewart Bundt cake.
Because one media whore deserves another. 6) Tyler Florence and a full order of Applebee's baby back ribs.
Karma's a bitch, isn't it? 7) Giada De Laurentiis and a milkshake.
If you don't get it, I'll send you a diagram. 8) Wolfgang Puck and a foie gras torchon.
I'd just like for him to remember where he came from. Rumor has it he's a badass French chef and doesn't really need to open "express" versions of his restaurants. Denver used to have a Wolfgang Puck restaurant. Does anyone remember that catastrophe? 9) Guy Fieri and cheddar-stuffed Rocky Mountain oysters.
Just as he gets the hoagie from #1 wiped off of him, he gets walloped with the piping hot oysters to remind him what a "cheesedick" he is. If you don't get this one, you're on your own. 10) Emeril Legasse and a foil-wrapped carnitas burrito from Chipotle.
Why? Because he absolutely rapes the pronunciation of the word "chipotle" and pronounces it "chipotay." It twists my nipples something fierce. But I secretly respect the man, so I leave the foil on so he can enjoy the burrito after it catches him upside the noodle.
