Howie Mandel Interview in Every Day with Rachael Ray
For the September 2008 issue of Every Day with Rachael Ray, comedian Howie Mandel allowed Rachael to take a peek inside of his fridge. Does Howie love to cook and entertain or is he a pizza and chinese food kind of guy?
- Rachael Ray: Hey, Howie. I hear we're going to see you on Deal or No Deal five
nights a week. That's great! If you were at home watching the show from
your couch, what would you be eating for dinner?
Howie Mandel: Anything that was ordered in. I don't know if you noticed but there's no food in my fridge.
- RR: Well, I guess you weren't lured by your wife's cooking skills when
you were dating!
HM: Nope. She made toast once and burned it, but I'm OK with that. I'm not a home-cooking kind of guy. I've lived in this house for eight years and the price sticker is still stuck inside the oven. We call our selves a green family because we don't waste energy turning on the stove.
- RR: That's a good way to look at it! And you're not interested in
learning how to cook?
HM: I love your food and thin that cooking is definitely a true talent, but it's not one that I care to partake in. I prefer restaurants. We eat out at least 5 nights a week with our three kids.
- RR: So, Howie, if you could invite anyone, living or dead, over for a
dinner party- or take out dinner party- who would you invite?
HM: Oh, definitely somebody living. Because dead people just aren't as much fun around the dinner table!
