South Park Riffs on Food Network with "Creme Fraiche"
Categories: The Critic

| South Park's rendition of Food Network star Guy Fieri. |
In the episode, father and geologist Randy Marsh discovers he has a secret addiction: late-night cooking shows starring Food Network stars like Paula Deen and Alton Brown. Stan can't get enough of them -- he oohs and aahs over brined pork tenderloin and gets all hot and bothered with pan sauces. His unhealthy obsession starts to affect his family when he begins cooking everything he sees on these shows. For his wife, Sharon, the boiling point comes when Randy attempts to make frittata with creme fraiche one morning for breakfast. She picks up and leaves the house, taking up with a very unlikely partner.
The episode is definitely irreverent, shocking, and nasty, like every South Park ever made. But its riffage on foodie culture is also pretty hilarious and a little bit revealing. And you have to see what they do to Giada De Laurentiis. I couldn't stop laughing.
You can watch the full episode online at Southparkstudios.com. Just a fair warning: It's definitely VERY NSFW.
