Rachael said that her current career is "a logical extension of what she did back when her family ran a restaurant on Cape Cod" because she looks at it as if she were a waitress. She tries "to figure out what people want and expect, and then I try to fill the order for them."
The article also makes the inevitable Martha Stewart comparison. McGuire notes that the anti-Martha stuff isn't just a act, it's who Rachael really is. She messes up and drops things and she just isn't perfect. McGuire says that "much of Ray's appeal comes from her almost screwball persona: On her cooking shows, she's not afraid to be shown dropping a dish or mis-measuring ingredients." Yep, that's what we like about her! Well, that and the yummy recipes.
Here are a couple quotes from Rachael included in the article:
"When the Food Network called me, I went into my first meeting and I told them I didn't belong there. All of this has been a huge surprise to me. And it continues to be."
"Now, you know what? The thing has a life of its own. Each day as this thing grows I try to manage it honestly and truthfully, and the things that don't feel like me I stay away from..."
