Doesn’t Alberti eat before he does these shows? He and Rachel are really shoveling it in today. Had to turn the channel.

@Jinlei

No. Hosts don’t eat before hosting these shows. Why would they?

The show would be so boring if they didn’t eat the products presented.

Cannot stand the behavior of either Alberti and/or Rachel on food shows, together they are terrible, turn my stomach and will not watch. When I saw in guide they were hosting, I made sure I stayed away. Might I add, getting quite tired of all the excess Gourmet Food Shows.....enough is too much!

@ScarletDove My sentiments exactly. I can't watch either of them on any shows.

@Jinlei and @ScarletDove and @Patriot3 - I agree! Both of them need some serious training on how to behave when eating on television. Alberti is generally fine on other shows, but on Gourmet Holiday, it's like he's not thinking about what he's doing at all—and that's surprising because I know he had Sharon as a mentor for some time, and although I didn't love her style, she never acted unprofessional. I don't watch anything Rachel hosts, so enough said there.

We have a few more weeks where we'll be seeing a lot of these shows leading up to spring holidays and the end of the cold-weather shipping season, so the Q really should get these two (and all the newer foodie hosts) some good coaching...

I agree about Alberto and Rachel. Don't watch anything either of them host.

JMO, but from what I see, many of the hosts that present food shows are quite "hoover-ish." 🐷

I am enjoying Alberti tonight except that he seems to have a running of the mouth. He keeps chattering. But, he is such a gentlemen, he always runs to the oven to shut the door for Tara. I don't even always see David doing that, and hardly ever any of the other hosts. I do not watch Rachel as she is always trying to get herself the attention.

If it were me, I wouldn't eat before hosting the food shows either. Seems rather intuitive.

Dan Wheeler returned as a VENDOR and ate his own food. Now that was a first.

Hope David doesn't eat before his kitchen show - - and it's eating cake before the meatballs that turns my stomach.

You know, David shovels the food in and he is quite successful, so maybe he is their model for hosting the food shows

It makes me laugh when they take a honking shovel full, stuff it into their mouths, then cover their mouths with their hands while they keep talking...lol

Wouldn't you just take a smaller portion, finish chewing and then talk?

But he does eat his David’s cookies and cakes.

People who audit, count and complain about what people eat are really awful.

SMH. I don't know what people expect, when any host is presenting a food show. They have to taste the food. Some are better at it than others. I saw Alberti maybe two nights ago? And I thought he was quite restrained and well-mannered about it. Taking small bites of things and not talking while eating.

Sometimes it seems none of the hosts can catch a break.

@fthunt. I was just going to comment about Dan but you beat me to it. Usually the host samples the food while the vendor describes its deliciousness. Dan apparently has not yet grasped his new role as, when I saw him recently, he was shoveling it in like he always did. He won't last long at that rate.
