I am a huge “Top Chef: Just Desserts” fan. I am a bigger fan of the dessert show than I am of the original “Top Chef.” I watch it every week. I read The Big Gay Ice Cream Truck’s recaps of the show on Eater. I have even re-created some of the desserts here at home.
As much as I love the show, I ADORE Johnny Iuzzini. He is one of the five guys on the “White Guys I think are hot and wouldn’t mind making out with” list. (I am obvie more into stocky, Asian guys with a penchant for Sci-Fi and distaste for breakfast for dinner.) The other 4, in no particular order are:
- Mandy Patinkin-THE VOICE
- Alton Brown- THE BRAIN
- Ryan Reynolds-um, duh
- Bradley Cooper-He speaks french and looks like this:
Last night, whilst FB messaging some people from my neighborhood and watching “TCJD”, they were once again ruminating on whether or not he was from the Gravesend/Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn. He mentioned once on the show how the L&B Spumoni Gardens owners were like family to him. They are like family to a lot of us in this area of Brooklyn, being a staple in our community for seemingly forever. (I will tell you, when I order a pie, it’s from here.)
Without even considering he would respond, (what celebrity responds to just being mentioned? I mean, I must have mentioned @SarahPalinUSA about a gajillion times on twitter-no response) I tweeted about my beloved Johnny, and this happened.
WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT? WHEN DID I FORGET HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH? I NEED TO CHANGE MY PANTS!!!
I could care less if Ashton Kutcher gave me a #FF. (follow friday) I wouldn’t give a lick if Rachael Ray offered me a hug and a bowl of buffalo chicken hamburger broth, (or whatever she makes) Mother Trucking Johnny Iuzzini tweeted me.
Tarts, Tattoos, and Twitter.
That is too exciting!!!!
I love when that happens! I saw the end of TCJD. But I’ll definitely have to tune in. I think it’s almost over though, no?
last night was the finale. boo.
I love love Johnny Iuzzini. I would have been star struck if he was tweeting me. I haven’t watched the finale yet, but Just Desserts is one of my favorite show right now.
And thanks for the comment on Healthy Happier Bear, I look forward to reading more on your blog.
no problem! I LOVE your story. The finale is so.good.
You would make out with Alton? Hmm… I understand the brain. But I think he would make an awesome friend to talk with for hours. Now, Bradley Cooper…. Mmmmm-mmm. Why w/ J. Lo? should be with me.
That is awesome Johnny Tweeted you! Those tats… that pic.. mighty fine. Yes, if I say so myself. {very cool}
OOOH, Alton Brown is sooo hot.
WOAH…exciting!!
right?!?!?!?
You lucky gal! I have been addicted to Top Chef Just Dessert this season. Love Johnny!
me too!! He’s soooo saucy!
So I just had eleventy posts from you show up in my Reader feed, and am now catching up. SO EXCITING to have a celebrity crush tweet you!
My top five, in no particular order:
1. Nathan Fillion
2. Johnny Depp
3. Alexander Skarsgaard (quick trivia: I used to work with his now-step-mother. We drank many a drink together, and are still friends [although only on Facebook now, she lives in Sweden], and she, Alex, and I are all the same age…I could never be his stepmother – impure thoughts….)
4. Stephen Colbert
5. Mike Rowe
(Honorable Mention: whoever plays the werewolf Alcide on True Blood….yum.)
This is where I get ridiculously jealous. Oh, and Mike Rowe? Only if he’d always be the one to talk. Mmmmm hmmm
