How Much Does "Today" Like Giada?

Enough to build her a new kitchen.
OK, maybe not. The kitchen in question will surely be used for a number of guest chefs and will host many demonstrations. But the fact that the folks at NBC poured some serious money into building a new kitchen studio sure seems to indicate that they're excited about having a regular contributor who is also a whiz in the kitchen. Of course, I'm sure they got a company discount on the GE appliances, so maybe the financial commitment wasn't too great.
Giada gave Today viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the old cooking arrangement as well as the construction of the new facility.
For years the TODAY team and chefs from around the world have whipped up amazing dishes in the show's main studio. Now, TODAY's got a whole new kitchen and TODAY contributor and chef Giada De Laurentiis was on the show to cook up a feast for the special unveiling.
Two thoughts on the video:
- Great job by the Today producer responsible for picking the music used in the piece. The Stones and Curtis Mayfield!?!?
- At one point, while pointing out some of the details of the new kitchen, Giada says about the lights: "I like how cylindrical they are." I may be parsing that sentence a bit too closely, but does "how cylindrical" mean that there are degrees of cylindrical-ness? I thought objects were either cylinders or they weren't. Apparently, I need to have a discussion with my 10th grade geometry teacher.
