His career hosting an NPR cooking show ended when allegations came from seven men who filed a suit against Smith, claiming he molested them when they were teens in the 1970s. There were also a dozen other men who claimed the same thing but chose not to join the lawsuit but were willing to offer testimony. In 1998, his production company settled with the plaintiff out of court, their insurance agreeing to pay an estimated $5 million dollars.
I worked all of the time in the 1990s, but I was learning to cook then (because my wife is a wretched cook) and someone gave me a paperback copy of his cookbook. I took one look at it and knew this guy was a closet fag.

The field of cuisine seems to draw closet fags to it. I got the same vibe from Alton Brown, who's also a fag. Television is an incredible waste of time, and cooking shows are among the lowest forms of infotainment (except for Julia Child, who was charming and guileless).

Yeah he was always a bit swishy and fastidious but I never really read anything to much into it.
Janet Deen says nigger btw, if you’re shopping for a TV chef.

The 60s still had vestiges of civilization holding on, as it all crumbled away until we were left with the clown world we live in today. But I digress.

I had to check my cookbooks again. I do indeed have the Good Housekeeping illustrated cookbook, and I agree, the bread recipes in that are fantastic. I also have a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook that comes bound in a very handy three-ring binder. My mom's old cookbook was Mary Margaret McBride's Encyclopedia of Cooking. I came in 12 unbound volumes that were collected in a four-inch cover and binding. It was a wedding present.

Honestly I think that’s just him being a liberal.
My mom had the Better Homes binder. I think it’s still in my parents’ place.
