First the bad news:
1) 2 years worth of the show called "Rachael's vacation"
2) she will be going all over the place to premier destinations, possibly including your town
(note: people in Moose Jaw, for once you can brag...)
3) 60 new episodes of her daytime show
4) :puke:
Good news:
1) She can't possibly do this forever
Here's the insipid "news" article describing the whole fiasco:
Rachael Ray has new Food Network series
NEW YORK - The Food Network has ordered extra helpings of Rachael Ray.
A new prime-time series, "Rachael's Vacation," will premiere Jan. 12, the network announced Monday. Viewers will follow Ray as she discovers cities, countries, foods and lifestyles around the world.
There will also be 60 new episodes per year of Ray's daytime show, "30 Minute Meals," said Food Network President Brooke Johnson.
Additional terms of the arrangement weren't disclosed.
"Rachael is the quintessential example of the homegrown stars we create at Food Network," said Johnson in a statement. "She has been with us since 2001, and we have built a strong partnership that will continue for years to come and bring more new and exciting projects."
