LAist went to see Food Network darling Giada De Laurentiis speak at the Paley Center and so we learn everything there is to know about Giada but were afraid to ask: She flunked first grade; her family didn't want her to be a chef because of her "stature"; she worked at Spago but became a personal chef because the hours were long and hard; Ron Howard was her first client; Giorgio Baldi and Mozza are her favorite LA restos; her favorite Dino De Laurentiis movie is Flash Gordon; she will die eating chocolate; and everyone is her friend.
