A Day in the Life of Star Chef Giada De Laurentiis

The Dump Bucket

A spokesperson for the Food Network stated that Giada “Never eats. Never… They have a dump bucket that is brought out the second they cut.” It may seem as though the star chef has an eating disorder, but that’s not the case.

The spokesperson explained that the designated dump bucket is there because Giada is making multiple meals throughout the day. There is simply no way she could eat all those meals, even if she wasn’t someone who was watching what she ate. Reportedly, the shots we see of her taking a bite of her food are actually thanks to sneaky editing.
