  • Giada is good but cmon she had flay

  • I respect the talents of both these great ladies. Anyone who thinks one is more talented than the other, IMHO is blowing hot air!!!

  • Haha and rachel would so beat tha shyt out of giada's twiggly ass in a fight lol now that's my kind of woman ah rachel my dream wife * sigh *

  • Giada seems stuck-up n her nose makes her look like a witch.. Rachel's too cute n I love her outgoing personality I'd wanna make her my wife :)

  • awesome!! this only proves that even if you are not a chef you can also cook good!!

  • 1:39 Was that Anne Burrell? =o

    

  • @Evernellssin Yeah, she's one of Mario Batali's sous chefs.

  • Look, I'm sure Giada is a nice lady but she's super annoying and too snobby. I respect people who have years upon years of training, but a good chef is born not made. Rachael Ray's EVOO may be equally annoying as Giada's demeanor but she's the everywoman in the kitchen - with immense natural talent.

  • qo rachel!

  • still like giada better than ray.

  • Giada should have won.I think she did a lot better than Rachel.

  • Wow I am so happy Rachael won!!! I mean she just ripped two of the best chefs on tv. I never liked Giada because she cooks a little bit too crazy for my taste! Giada is someone that would literally coat cilantro leaves on chocolate pudding and eat it... I know it is good to try things but she a bit too out of the box for me. YOU can tell she is competitive because of how upset she was when somebody criticized her food.

  • I want to see Giada and Jill Bernstein suck on an osso buco bone until no marrow is present.

  • LOL yeah i can tell giada was upset but Rachel before the results did not seem hopeful at all. I'm sure she thought she would lose

  • Um, it should have been Giada and Batali.

    Italians kick ass!

  • I didn't get to watch this when it first aired and always wanted to know who won. I can't believe Rachel won. I don't really care for her cooking.

  • @siennavine81 as she said she's not a chef but i find her food enjoyable actually. humble and simple. i'm not always a big fan of bobby flay partly because I believe in traditional cooking such as with asian cuisine. i understand his need to be innovative but chipotle does not belong in sushi :/ Giada though is also very good. I love her cup lasagna recipe. Very cute and delicious

  • Rachael got lucky and had Ann Berell as a sous chef.

  • @dutchess1999 anne is the chuck norris of the Food Network stars. :3

  • Woohooo.... All the food network star judges (giada, b flay, other white hair dude) r so cocky.

  • Hilarious not only did Giada roll her eyes, but she had her lips tucked in in a manner that says, "I am angry beyond imagination! Wish I didn't have to constrain myself!"

  • @serenityxoxo ....LOL!!! Yep!! Coudnt have said it better myself! Funny but very childish! I wish I could literally read her mind at that moment!

  • Hahaha this is one of my favorite episodes!

  • Rachael clearly beat her!! I wanted to eat all of her presentations. They looked so appetizing...

  • Rachael rocks!!

  • The reason why Giada and Bobby lost is that they made such SIMPLE dishes unlike what Rachael and Mario did. The winning team was never afraid to step outside the line of mediocrity and Rachel, She's just wonderful! Hilarious and an oh-so-funny person. It just proved that Hardworking people can surpass the professionals.

    Giada was like "oooooh! I'm gonna stab you outside the studio Rachael!"

  • Giada at 0:56 "Well at least I still have the best rack in this fuckin network"

  • Weirdly, I felt Rachael would win right when she got Batali...

  • i dont get why people think mario disliked racheal lol i dont see it

  • @Cali978 What?? Who said that? They got along very well!

  • Notice how Giada's eyes almost rolled out her head hahahahaha she lost! Luv Rachael Ray!

  • flay was no match with the genius of batali. :D

  • Aw, poor Giada, she is an amazing cook (and not to mention gorgeous)! But congratulations Rachel!

  • giada looked a little pissed lol but congratz to rachael! they both did amazing jobs and i wish i could've eaten what they cooked :S

    nevertheless i love both of them and their cooking shows.

    go women of the foodnetwork !

  • RACHEL RAY ISN'T EVEN A CHEF. Poor Giada... LMAO

  • hahahaha Giada's face is priceless !!!

  • Rachael simply rocks! humble in a way.

  • this is my opinin. Rachael is untaught and untrained. I think this allows her to cook as a freestyle chef and her cooking techniques are unrestricted.

    did anyone see Giadas, punching Rachael and doing a kung fu-italian style jump kick to Mario B. in the behind the scenes video? hahahahaha...JUSS KIDDING!

  • If you're a fan of Iron Chef and The Next Iron Chef, you've got to check out the composer for both of this shows: CRAIG MARKS.

    Visit my youtube channel to find more info about him!

  • Its not just about who's the better cook. You gotta also look at the judges. It may help doing something very familiar to them rather than something different.

  • Iron Chef Mario Batali never loses!! :)

  • Giada and Rachel didn't matter...this show was really only an excuse to have a Batali vs. Flay match with some eye candy along for the ride.

    Both Iron Chefs are great, though I do think Mario might have the slight edge...as he did on this day. As for the assistants, neither could really hold their own in Kitchen Stadium....

  • The look on Giada's face 0:55 says it all Good thing she didnt still have those knives in hand

  • Comment removed

  • Rachael seemed surprised that she won. Giada looked at her, probably thinking, "You bitch." lol

  • When did this air? I would have LOVED to seen this! Giada is totally new to me, while I've known about Rachael Ray for YEARS. This Giada chick is smokin', though! She is absolutely beautiful! While I like both, I am pleased to know Rachael won! I LOVE Rachael Ray! We need Paula Deen & Ina Garten to compete!

  • It's so cool that Rachael Ray won. She isn't a trained chef and she had to work really hard to become what she is now. Giada is awesome, but she is from a family of famous millionaires so she always had an advantage in the culinary world and in the food network world.

  • when rachael won, giada looks really piss

  • LMFAO Giadas like whatever i'm a real italian chef lol.

  • @kbamch She's thinking through that pretty phoney smile that's gotten her equally as far as her family money has. The Italian chef thing ranks much lower as an element of her suceess. Good for Rachel!

  • good game.

  • Rachael Ray's zuppa cake was too sweet.

  • this is the first battle ive seem bobby flay lose!!!!! :D i shouldnt be happy but i am

  • Nigella Lawson vs Paula Deen.

  • hm...i think the stuff that mario gave to the judges made them drunk... lol jk i like mario, but i really wished that he was paired with giada...

    well, both of these ladies are my favorite and they always will be. good battle ^^

    and at the end, i don't think giada 'rolled her eyes.' At least she was still smiling, not like she was sneering or anything harsh.

    ...god you guys..

    I don't hate Rachael, shes a good cook and fun, but it doesn't mean to hate on giada... :/

  • awh.... i thought giada would've and should've won...

  • pffffffff thats cuz flay sucks, batali is a better chef.

    giada knows she got ROBBED! rachels like wtf i won?

  • I LOVEE MARIO BATALI!! FAN #1!!

    ALWAYS HE WIN ALL THE BATTLES!! BATALI IS THE REASON I WANT TO STUDY GASTRONOMY!! AND RACHEL IS REALLY GOOD AT COOKING!!

    BOBY & GIADA ARE GOOD BUT NOTHING COMPARED WITH BATALI!! IS ANOTHER LEVEL OF COOKING!! BATALI ROCK MY WORLDDDD!! <3 : D!

  • Oh god..has Paula Deen done one of these? That would be ridiculous.

  • Why are girls soo catty? Ugh...

  • I love Rachael and Mario! Yay!

  • I thought Giada would win. Giada should've won there!

  • I seriously want a rematch. Giada de Laurentiis vs Rachel Ray alone. No Iron Chefs damn it!

    REMATCH!!! REMATCH!!! REMATCH!!!

  • HAHA...... DO WORK RACHAEL!!! EFF ALL YALL HATERS!!! RACHAEL ALL THE WAY. (don't get me wrong, Giada is good too, but the right person won. stop hating losers, lol...)

  • Giada is the best!! she really knows how to cook and she has a great personality

    Rachel she really sucks may be is good person but she has no idea how to cook, the only thing that helped her was to be with Mario batali

  • Bullshit... Giada should've won!

  • The eye roll seemed like a joke type gesture

  • oh i see eyes rolling.... lol... but nontheless shes still hot! i love her smile

  • yessssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Giada should've won.

  • Totally agree! Giada should've won!

  • yeah, ive heard that a some of the foodnetwork chef's are jealous of rachael's success because she hasnt had formal training.. i personally love giada and rachael

  • Rachel Ray comes off like a stunted, ditzy riff on The Joker. I can't believe that the judges could stomach even looking at her vomit-colored polenta.

  • @digitalcubano You're terrible. Looks are not everything ya know!

  • YAY Cheers To Mario and Rachael!!!

    KANPAI!!!

    xoxo

  • YESS!!!

  • Yeeeeaaaaaah right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • yeep i saaw heer rolling her eyes LOSEER!! but i wanted her to wiin ¬¬U

  • does anyone see giadda rolling her eyes at the end??? what a sore loser!

  • I didn't see a roll. All I saw was a sign of frustration. Nobody enjoys losing but she wasn't a sore loser.

  • Giada is trying so hard to prove she's Italian, but we know Mario is the true Italian chef, actually going to Italy to learn it. Rachel is the sh!t, plain and simple, cute, and sexy as hell all sweaty.

  • DUDE SHE IS FRIGGIN HOT! In my own heaven, I have both Giada and Rachael cooking for me in high heels with just an apron on.

  • i love my rachel rayyy...sheeee issss the !!!!!!!!! oneeeee

  • your rachel ray lol watta old perv just masterbating to this shit lol

  • some people are so cruel to giada and rachel..jeez they both are celebrity chefs and have their ups and downs right? well i just know that they're both uber famous..and both of their foods are like GOOD..lol XD

  • They are celebrity cooks, at best.

  • Why didn't the two Italian chefs get paired together....? T.T;

  • Didnt see that one coming :P

  • giadas sexy but damn raachels just mad cute

  • this was realy good to watch both girl are great cooks but i gatta say RRay is so cool and down to earth! like her more like Gida too:o)

  • Hey thanks for posting this! It was a great episode!

  • so ARE YOU ASSHOLE!

  • wooo rachael ray!

  • Giada is a gustatory goom-bah!!

  • you can tell how annoyed giada is. 0:56 pause it :)

  • She looked like she wanted to kill Rachael...

  • maybe she did

  • @ino224

    Seriously! She does not look happy at all. Lol, who cares if De Laurentiis or Ray wins? This is free publicity for the both of them?

  • @ino224 yeah i know, she was sooo rolling her eyes... LOL!!

  • @smy1989 It's like 'just let me at her! Just 5 minutes with her!'

  • I don't remember seeing this! I love Giada...I am not really a fan of R. Ray. I LOVE Giada. She won in my book! haha

  • This aired the first time around Thanksgiving time about 3 years ago. Food Network promoted the crap out of it because Rachael and Giada were HUGE at that time on the network.

  • I just jizzed all over my spaghetti.

  • Lmfao! Nasty ass, and this is a comment to KingofPopDies. Anyway, you saw the look on Giada, she got pissed off. And Bobby got sorta angry but Giada got more pissed. I like Giada though, tbh.

  • For me Racheal Ray is one of the best cook.Bobby Flay is also one of my list of best chefs!It would be so cool if they would've teamed up in this battle. But yeh, GO RACHEAL!!!<333 the best!

  • Lol I love how they make food dramatic XD

  • hahaha

    Giada is so pissed!

  • Giada's food also seems very fresh and appetizing; however on this show Rachel's and Mario's dishes looked better.

  • giada is the best

  • Nah, I think Giada was rolling her eyes at herself (like duh, of course I lost, I can't beat Mario Batali) rather than at them. She seemed kind of insecure the whole show.

  • Well, seeing that Mario Batali is THE BEST iron Chef in that show (I might be wrong), I'm guessing that Rachel Ray could have gotten a head start.

  • Mario Batali wins 75% of the time

  • Well, that point stands pretty well. The only time I saw Batali lose was with the asian woman in the mushroom battle.

    It was also probably because the asian woman made dishes that people never even heard of before.

  • @crazystarf - yeah I agree, Batali almost had a perfect track record, better than Cora's.

  • Maybe this loss will shrink Giada's head down until it looks proportional to her body.

  • lmao!!

  • This was a good match up. I'd like to see them go at it cooking soul food.

  • GiADA iS THE BEST! SHE'S STiLL THE WiNNER 4 ME..

  • I think the same..!!!

    Giada is the best..!!!

  • aaaaaah giada... it's ok you win in the end. you're much more attractive and classy.

  • So rolling your eyes makes one classy?? This I did not know!

  • i love food, thank you for upload this :)

  • Looks like Giada rolled her eyes a lil. hahaha Aww don't be a sour puss Giada. haha

  • HAHA she totally did. It's so obvious.

  • Giada is amazon, she cooks light and healthy

  • I love this show but i feel theres not much at stake. New rule loser must face off against mark dacascos in a battle to the death! Then we'll see the best iron chefs hahaha

  • Botali is a cool cat!

  • Why is it Rachel Ray has so many hater's? Ever heard of the word "Self Made". Anyway, she won! I was so happy for her! Giada looked mad haha. I like Giada's show, but I find her one dimensional.

  • I figured Batali/Ray would win on originality. Giada is a walking Italian cliche. Who didn't see spinach+theme ingredient ravioli coming a mile away?

  • LMAO! Have you heard the comment of the judge on Ray and Gaida dishes alone? Ray alone edge Gaida on both dishes... Don't be too bitter!

  • BullShit!!!!!

  • all i know is they both are surpreme but cant stop noticing tat giada is super HOTT!!!!

  • Giada looked super pissed off.

  • wow! rachael ray's a chef that's NOT a chef, but she won fair and square

  • giads should of been paired with Mario because there both mainly Italian cooking

  • I agree with you.

  • Does rachel and giada not like each other?

  • Giada can't even handle simple criticism; why does it surprise anyone that she's a sore loser?

  • I was planning to cook raviolli and that raviolli she made doesnt look good, if she just made a cranberry sauce or a pasta of some sort it would have been better, she made it look like at appetizer

  • I've made a few of her recipes and they are good, but her show is a lot of crap. She's an LA caterer, mostly concerned with how the food looks. She talks a lot of shit about being Italian, but no Italian cooks the way she does!

  • I watched her show once and I was surprise that she has a show, she is bland, and I'd rather search the internet for italian recipes than watch it from her

  • Comment removed

  • They should have just had Giada vs. Rachael alone. Having them paired up with an Iron Chef defeated the whole purpose of seeing which one of the two women alone was better. For this battle, I think Rachael made the better dishes. As far as overall cooking versatility and aptitude, Giada would win.

  • Agree 100%

  • Hell Yeah!

  • i love rachael. how she still injected humor amidst pressure! and clearly, she cooked better tasting dish that giada. i was not able to taste it, but come one, if u love food, you'll know that her dishes here are to die for!  rachael's shrimp dish and the drunken pasta, against giada's feeble raviolli and doughnuts? there's not even a competition! rachael's the best!

  • i agree, and I don't get why some people here are hating Rachel, I've seen her on TV so many times and she is adorable. Giada is ok I think most people just thinks she is pretty that's all

  • To paraphrase Anthony Bourdain: it's not that Rachel Ray isn't a real chef. Julia Childs wasn't a real chef but she was admirable, she taught people to better themselves. RR on the other hand, teaches us that it's okay to be mediocre. And to quote: "Youre doing just fine. You dont even have to chop an onion--you can buy it already chopped. Aspire to nothingJust sit there. Have another TriscuitSleep.sleep."

  • Julia Child was professionally trained though.

  • okay then...Ina Garten wasn't classically trained yet her recipes are simple AND delicious, and, she is not annoying.

  • great...I always knew...that batali was a better cook than flay

    of course, why they promoted it as giada vs RR is beyond me, total false advertising

  • I loved seeing Giada's bratty face after Rachel and Mario won. Ha! Take that uber-biotch!

  • im so glad batali and rachael won...even though bobby and giada are cool too

  • i agree that both of the groups are cool, but i sort of wanted giada's team to win because she never really seems to win anything

  • she won my heart and that in itself is everything. (LOL)

  • Giada has the largest head I have ever seen... However, she is a good Chef. David I have to ask you, who has the biggest head in kitchen stadium?

  • Is it just me, or did Rachel Ray's partner seem to do most of the work?

  • Both Ray and his partner made two dishes... It's just you!

  • Batali's experience as an Iron Chef definetly helped Racheal Ray with her win.

  • Yeah Bobby fucked up Giada's shit while Mario really boosted Rachel's chances. They should have competed one-on-one. I was disappointed they didn't.

  • Giada DeLaurentiis is awesome, she's so funny. Even if Rachel deserved to win, Giada is friggen cool. :)

  • giadas face @ :57 is just priceless

  • Yeah, she won!!! ^.^

  • Bobby Flay and Rachael Ray should not be considered professional or even culinary chefs

  • So what?

    It's not like they took chef-enhancing drugs.

  • rachael ISNT a professional chef.

    that's her selling point. she's an everyday.

    bobby flay on the other hand is a professinaly trained chef.

    just because they have american names doesn't mean that they aren't as worthy.

  • giada was such an awesome sport!!!

    kissing mario so lucky!!

  • GO MARIO!!

    Mario and Gordon Ramsey are the best. I would like to see a battle between those 2.

  • i think bobby wants giada lol the way he looks at her haha. i love him he's great! giada's awesome too

  • batali rocks

  • rachel ray couldn't boil water in half an hour...the win is all on batali

  • the plating of Guiada wasnt too good, mostly at the last plate, the dessert, she didnt put any effort on that plate. And Rachel did a pretty good job and original plates, and with the talent of Mario, was an awsome team! I think Bobby didnt put his whole effort too, he usually is awsome in presentation and falvor...

  • great battle!

  • Cheers to rachel and mario!

  • the best of culinary battle
