Food Porn, Lovingly Deconstructed

I've not seen the article yet, but Fred Kaufmann wrote an article in the latest Harper's Magazine about food television, and how it shares an astonishing number of parallels with the production techniques in pornographic films.

As a dedicated journalist, he bought Mexican Food, sat down with a photographer who was experienced in filming porn, and sat down to watch 6 hours of the Food Network.
6 hours make him an expert? I've watched that much Food Network in a single day (albeit, in preparation for the holidays, and I was doing other stuff too).

And Giada's never really done it for me. I mean, yeah, she's hot, but somehow she lacks that base eroticism of Nigela. There's something about Nigela's show that's just so amazingly pornographic. Maybe it's her voice, or how they linger over her long fingers gently caressing and working the food. Not to mention the occassional scene they shoot supposedly at night where she's doing something with the leftovers for a midnight snack barely dressed in silk pj's, wrapping her arms around a dish as she slides upstairs to bed.

Her recipes are less than top notch, and, as tv stars go, she's not all that hot, but I can't seem to turn away.

Not Bob, it sounds like you've got another new source of guilt beyond complimenting the waitress' hair.
Tell me about it. Only if gwnc were my wife could that be a guilt free pleasure.

AND you'd be getting a lot more blowjobs. Unsolicited. No strings attached. In theaters, even. You totally should have married gwnc, dude.

2. BTW, it sounds like the bloom is off the rose a bit with the new guy, so Not Bob might have his chance sooner rather than later.

I read the article and it's more of a psuedo-psycho-biological piece about the "brain in the gut" and what it responds to (sex, food) than the interview (which I also heard on NPR*) would suggest. For what it's worth I find cooking shows even more boring than (most) porn.**

* I am in the 98th percentile of New York liberals. I would be 99 but I let my subscription to The Nation lapse a few years ago.

** FB privileges shortly to be revoked, no doubt.

You put that second asterisk in the wrong place, Karl.

For the record, Giada's cookbook (called Everyday Italian, or something like that) is absolutely amazing. The almond cake recipe is enough to justify the cost of the whole book, and her panna cotta is devilishly good (omit one half the honey, however).

For the record, Giada's cooking show is closer to real porn than the other shows. She's always kneading bread in a tight, low cut top, exposing her nicely shaped TITS! I don't care what Gatti's source says, I'm not looking at the bread in those shots.

It's a half hour show. You're just talking about the first 2 or 3 minutes.

Well, he's already pointed out that he needs to get through the rest of the half-hour.
