I ADORE Rick Bayless. I actually read one of his cookbooks just to read it. I've also lived in Mexico City, so I recognized some of the places he and his wife spent the late 70s in. If I could cook, I'd wanna cook like Rick. If I could be calm, I'd wanna be calm like Rick. Love love love love love that guy.

I adore Hubert, but in terms of sexy, non. Rick, though? Just Moi's Type.

Dani said...

I go with Rick. Not really sexy, but he cooks Mexican food. And for that he scores BIG!

Big Shamu said...

Really? Rick? Seems kinda nerdy to me?

And not NEARLY bad enough to be considered one of those Bad Boys the women love to love.

I guess I'd have to vote for Michel ... with Rick a close second but I found this to be very tough and I'm not watching Master Chef because I don't have that channel - The Food Network I'm assuming. I have a friend in Toronto, Lucy (she's a food stylist) who's married to a french chef who has his own successful little french bistro in TO "and" he looks just like Eric Ripert - who is tres sexy, non ?

Itunes, Susan, Itunes. Otherwise you get overwhelmed by Bravo (the channel Top Chef is on) and the Real Housewife Drama Central.

moi said...

Nah, see, men who come off all Howdy Doodie with their bed head hair, freckles, and aw shucks attitude? Those are the guys who are really steaming hawt underneath it all. Trust Moi. I know this.

Susan said...

ahhh yes - Bravo ! I remember now. No Bravo shows on the Canadian itunes ??? I know, I know. But we have universal health care. ;-)

Big Shamu said...

Wait? Why is there even a different Itunes for Canada? Although I do have to admit there's probably no cure for Bravo Housewifeitis. At least nothing your health care system could handle.

Moi: hahaha! That IS funny! Never thought about it, I'll have to take your word.

Honestly, NONE of these guys are very sexy to La Diva. When I was young and stupid I would have gone for the dick-head Michael C. but he's probably selfish and demanding in bed. haha!

I'd do the Frenchy boy Ludo in a NY minute if he wasn't such a sucky-boy whiner. (He's probably a star fish in bed....just lays there and expects you to do all the work!) tee hee~

Big Shamu said...

Snort, Starfish.

OK we have a vote for the lovely Eric Ripert, who else not in the competition lights you ladies fires?

LaDivaCucina said...

Ahhhh of course, Le Ripert! I would just like to stare at him for a while please! (after he smothers me in butter and sea urchin roe! haha!)

And, I've always liked the Keith Richards bad boy rocker types, so Anthony Bourdain is sexy in his own irreverent and lanky way.

Big Shamu said...

Did you ladies see the early version Rick photos? Wondered if the appeal still held?

LaDivaCucina said...

When I first read this, I thought you wrote "Eric" not Rick and googled Eric Ripert and found that yes, he was just as dreamy as a young man as he is now....he looked like a much sexier Tony Curtis with his black curly hair.....(my eyes are playing tricks on me!)

le sigh.....

Big Shamu said...

Oh yeah, I don't think there is any version of Eric that is not smokin' hot. I'm convinced he wasn't on Top Chef Masters because there's no force strong enough to keep Gael Greene from jumping his bones every chance she could get.

Heheeeheheeee! We can dream can't we?!
