Julie Powell Does the Food Network Thing

[nobooksleftbehind]

woaahhh shes fat!!!

[LilasRose1973]

It's amazing how people can be so jealous and try anything to put down someone who has success and is comfortable in their own body and mind. The issue is seriously on them not her. Nice kitchen by the way :-)

[freakificationism]

when she puts it in the pan she goes noW WITH ANOTHER KIND OF STEAK! lol

[nikki46236]

Rover does not care whether anybody is skinny or fat. He loves her just the same!

Imagine that! Look at him the kitchen waiting for his bite! Anybody who can cook a steak like that is beautiful to me! I would never trust a skinny cook!

[nosleep62]

@milfweed23

mmmm....Nigela Lawson, my favorite!

[kodachromefilm]

Too chunky for that camera angle and lighting; but they say, TV puts on 10 pounds.

[cb250cb]

Ms. Powell - you have an amazing body. Let's loosen up on the clothes; I don't think the Kohl's look suits you. Regardless, you have a lot of natural talent to work with. Embrace it!

[kimseablemyers]

REALLY RUDE TO SAY THAT SHE IS FAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not a way to describe her. Really rude!

[bernalaso]

you don't look like amy adams

[VirtuousLatina]

that is really mean and immature of you to say , there are much bigger people than her on the food network. i bet if she were a man, you wouldn't be saying a word about weight. she is gorgeous and that is all that needs to be said

[mooncooky]

Robert the Dog! 4.20 :D

[Bageera63]

Steak great! Rude comments not so great, Grow up.

[carnisero43]

Why would anyone want cooking tips from her. So she claims to have cooked every recipe out of Julia Child's cookbook......so! What next, writing advice from people who've read all of Shakespeare's works? Perhaps a nice brazed leech in a tapeworm sauce drizzled with toasted ticks. A perfect meal for parasite lovers!

[powellpicc1985]

She's not that big. She just shouldn't have her shirt tucked in. I think it's also a very bad angle.

[gamerodoyle]

Maybe it's the poor video quality, but that looks disgusting. Also, why not cut the longgggg strip in half, and cook it side-by-side in the pan or in two batches?

[Magicgirlamy]

Shes not too fat. Cooking shows have much bigger women on nowadays. In fact, she might be too tiny for the cooking channell.

[carouselgal]

I loved Julie's book and the movie. She is a great cook and deserves to be where she is! Keep up the great work Julie! When can I come over for dinner? ;-)

[ieatyourbabiez]

Not fat-- zaftig!

[ocelotxp]

Too fat for TV? Errr... Have you seen Rachel Ray? Same build.

[rightsville]

Julie,

Julia Child detested you and detested your foul-mouthed stunt-driven blog. That's all anyone needs to know.

[ieatyourbabiez]

@rightsville Take your venom-spewing self elsewhere. If you don't like it, don't watch it.

[sarahwoodruffsmith]

slightly overcooked? or it's just the camera...

[geruah69]

hmmm yummiiiie

[Cassandra1983]

Hey! I like Julia Child and I also cook recipes from her cookbook and I also admire her and wrote an essay about Julia. Does that make me untalented egomaniac who needs a gimmick to get 'fame' from another person's talent?

Haha, get a life Alfrunk!

[Alfrunk]

Utterly disgusting, vulgar woman. An utter insult to Julia Child. Sad example of a wasted generation.

[XMariaGuadalupe]

XMariaGuadalupe loves you!

xoxo

mgm

[robskie1968]

Just seen the movie...Loved it..Wish You all the best and Very Happy Xmas..

[Seahorsey2]

Julie we just saw the movie and loved it! You are terrific!

[nicholasbarwick]

hi i love the movie did u ever get to meet julia

[SophiaGettys]

LOVE YOU JULIE!!! XOOXO Are you getting a show on the FN!?

[GetItRight222]

I don't like big breasted women, they look fat and funny.

[ma2566]

What a MUTT! husband: what are you thinking? oof. afternoon trysts with her? ug.

[denshaotoko89]

prefer the movie Julie.

[stripdip]

Yeah, too bad Julie is an adulterous, self-absorbed beyatch!

[Alfrunk]

Don't forget untalented egomaniac who needs a gimmick to get 'fame' from another person's talent.

[stripdip]

I completely agree! Julie Powell is NOT Amy Adams! I think that's why people get so upset at negative comments about her. Julie Powell disgusts me!

[MsBettybb]

Nothing turns me on more than the sizzling sound made when you first drop food into hot oil.

[jobbaliss]

Ever since I say Julie and Julia I have wanted to make a poached egg in the boiling water like they did in the movie. It just looked neat.

[bberger06]

I was going to post a comment about how I was appalled that you would say something so terrible about Julie. But then I realized that you probably ARE Julie Powell... so I will say this: we are always our own harshest critics. I think that you look GREAT! You are an inspiration and I can't wait for your next book. And, who knows? Maybe you'll mention me when you write another one! Just kidding. But seriously, keep up the amazing work! I can't wait to see what you do next.

[shaynapalmer26]

she's fat??? WTF!! what about Ina Garton, Paula Dean just to name a few. It's not about a person's shape it's about their art in cooking. anyhow, I'm not going to feed into that crap anymore, I just want to tell Julie that she does and amazing job and her book and movie was fabulous

[sasymuzik]

hey this is cool to see the "real" julie!

[dguntherd]

"she's a liitle too fat for tv?"

one, you live off every single butter drenched recipe in julia's cookbook and see if you mainstain your figure.

[jjaagg5050]

Julie, you are wonderful! My wife and I just came from the theatre and the movie is great! I can't wait to read the book. I really admire you for cooking through Julia's book. Good job!

[stonerbob2486]

and Paula Dean isn't fat ?

[davemandel2]

I saw J & J this afternoon. Wonderful! Inspiring!  And I left the movie theater so hungry... Yum!

[nosleep62]

Attn jafpowell: I disagree that Julie Powell is "a little too fat for TV," and wish you'd have chose to describe this pretty lady politely instead. Aside from that, thanks for the post-I saw the JULIE/JULIA movie last night and thoroughly enjoyed it.

[DanHawking]

I like how you don't realise that this is her own personal Youtube account and that she was full of her own normal scathing sarcasm

[nosleep62]

Sorry to burst your bubble, bit I did, in fact, realize it! Read my comment again.

[S67906]

@nosleep62 She is not fat she is healthy, and she looks beautiful. I love her and will be following her for blogs and books for years to come. Thank you Julia for being you "REAL". My mouth watere when I watched the movie Julie / Julia. Thank you much

[RightWingCon81]

@nosleep62 ah get your head out of her fat ass, she is fat. Amy Adams? Really? Should have chosen Rosie O'Donnell.

[nosleep62]

@RightWingCon81 O.K., so you prefer to keep your head up Rosie O'Donell's ass...Live and let live, right?

[RightWingCon81]

@nosleep62 Um...WHAT? How do I have my head up that fat cunts ass? I was saying this fat cunt is too fucking fat to have been played by Amy Adams, she should have ben played by fellow fat cunt Rosie. Get it now? Are you retarded? Or are you just pretending?

[nosleep62]

@RightWingCon81 Who's ass you've got your head up is entirely your business. Am I retarded? No, I'm just pretending. On the other hand, it's obvious that you're not faking...

[RightWingCon81]

@nosleep62 That was a poor attempt at sounding clever. Please try again.

[nosleep62]

@RightWingCon81 I understand your confusion, but then again, I don't expect a retard to know clever from a poor attempt; If you could, you'd have stopped your foul-mouthed, inane posts long ago, right Troller? Have your mommy change that ripe diaper before putting you to bed; I'm going to reply only to adults from now on.

[RightWingCon81]

@nosleep62 THat sure sounds like you're trying to bow out of this since you're losing. Now go on loser, tuck tail and run. By the way, your taste in women sucks, you think that fat fuck is pretty? AHAHAHAAHAHAHA! By the way, she's a cheating whore who cheated on her husband for 2 years and Julia Child was right to say she wasn't serious. Now go cry because I insulted your little chubby face girlfriend.

[milfweed23]

@nosleep62 Yeah! What about the gorgeous Nigella Lawson?? or Paula Deen? Julia is about the same size as Rachel Ray in this vid, really.....mumble grumble ;)

[GrigoriSom]

As a guy, can I be honest? This is one of the sexiest vids on YouTube; any man who isn't excited by JP should get their pulse checked.

That said, I would have cut the steak down a bit, or at least used a bigger pan.

[kc768]

too fat for tv? B.S. Leave her alone

[lisaswetz]

Julie you go girl!!! I admire you for cooking Julia's food. That is some intimidating shit!!!

If you ever need an assistant (which you will) call me. Please make some more vids!

[LunaonCrack]

is this the julie powell from julie/julia?

[nduchioma]

no dip sherlock

[katiemc66]

Yes it is!

[daveco1270]

Too fat for tv, that's not a nice thing to say...and it's not true. You don't have to be an anorexic victoria secret model to do a cooking show. Look at Rachel Ray, she weighs twice as much as this woman.

[mrsgarrettrocks]

...and far less annoying than Rachel Ray.

[StephanieSmith92]

Go julie Powell!

[xygnusleah]

Smell Good! that's why the dog is looking for a piece of meat.

[toastedTuna]

Nice job. I have been meaning to check you out since I read the Food & Wine article. Well, it only took me a year and a half. I will subscribe - hope you are still posting.

[n7cav]

I'd tap her flank steak . /

[katiemc66]

...Oh, and new cookware! That's an All-Clad saute pan. Niiice!!

[katiemc66]

After reading her book and the desription of her old apartment, it's nice to see that her book now has afforded her a lovely new place. Her kicthen looks fantastic! Good for her!

[5688953]

This girl can cook OMG

[mojo678]

ALWAYS MARINATE UNDER REFRIGERATION

[DiscountPotato]

not fat....just fugly!

[rockfangeek09]

yuuuum!

[VioletKaliki]

She is so holding the knife wrong. And who cooks meat using a spatula? Get some tongs!Otherwise loved her book, keep the cooking vids coming!

[iowagirl74]

I just finished Julie's book today and I love that I can get online and see her!

[Jakerandall1]

Julie, we love you in our house. Who needs the Foodnetwork when I can watch you here! Buon apetite!

[mofo269]

you're awesome julie!

[atcnick]

I'de hit it!

[jap4231]

I would too.

[breezit]

She's very attractive.

[HitmanLV]

She isn't too overweight - she looks nice! ;-)

[nascardude123]

...never trust a skinny cook!...

[HitmanLV]

I agree & have said that for years. I do let lean female cooks get by, but a thicker female cook is more trustworthy to me (Giada notwithstanding), and a male cook has to be paunchy or bigger to earn my trust!

[edld46]

when I see an overweight cook, I ask myself, just how healthy their food really is. What are the calories in the dishes they are preparing?
