>> he has extended it to new york .

>> yes! new york that's a whole different ball game . here we're kind of all in one spot. but in new york , i mean, it's everywhere. i don't see how he does it.

>> we ate our way back and drank our way through.

>> you and bobby hosted it last night.

>> yes. i feel like i've arrived. i can return now.

>> it sounded like the all-star game for chefs like yourselves. was it fun to get together and see everybody?

>> yes. people think if we're all on the food network we're together all the time. but no, that's not true. we hardly ever get to see each other.

>> there's no food network clubhouse?

>> no, no. we're not at each other's house on christmas morning . and so i look forward to seeing all my cohorts and just buddying up. i don't know if they do or not, savannah. i know i certainly don't.

>> we were a little competitive.

>> we had a good time.

>> i'm just a cook. i don't know how i got lucky enough to be here amongst all these chefs.

>> there's a lot of food. there's also a lot of drink.

>> really?

>> we joke about the people on the beach having had a few before the show --

>> seven days a week.

>> now it's just us.

>> so we didn't violate any state laws.

>> good. what happens when they do go 24 hours ? that leads us to our next take two, right?

>> it does. you need the south beach hangover cure. the party cycle kind of goes around the clock here.

>> yes.

>> it's called revive. south beach revive, board certified doctors got together to try to figure out how to cure the hangover. it's hydrating iv treatment.

>> iv?

>> iv with vitamin d .

>> how much have you been drinking that you need -- what the heck?

>> oxygen treatment. look at these people what they're going through to get rid of the hangover.

>> you have to stop drinking before you do this.

>> in true south beach style, upscale setting, massage chairs.

>> really?

>> they'll even come to you, right?

>> anybody above the age of 18 that passes a brief medical screening.

>> wait a minute, 18, why?

>> i bet it's very brief, though.

>> we should hope 21, because that's the age --

>> it's 18.

>> let's hope you're not drinking --

>> any time there's a needle going into your arm, that's a sign from god that you're drink ing too much!

>> maybe dial it back the next time.

>> it's very quick. you can go there and get straight to the bar.

>> pop in right back to the bar, exactly.

>> wow!

>> talk about problems.

>> my niece did that one time. she had been out partying and drinking and she's not a big drinker, but she felt so rotten the next morning. and it just so happened she was dating a doctor.

>> oh, what did he do for her?

>> he gave her the fluids and she said she felt like a new person.

>> because hangover is partly due to dehydration, so i've heard.

>> right.

>> not that we're recommending this or anything.

>> right. i would like to have hooked michael up to one.

>> your husband?

>> my husband.

>> all righty. well, paula , we'll get into therapy a little later.

>> good times with paula deen .

>>> oscars are coming up this weekend. on sunday we're having our miami beach party here today but it's a big holiday party --

>> no more mojitos for you. take another drink.

>> here is what it is, hollywood party .

>> check, please!

>> let's make our predictions in a few different categories. we'll start with best picture . we split here. s savannah, natalie and al all going with golden globe winner "argo."

>> i like the saying that alan larkin has.

>> we can't say it on tv.

>> paula , you and i like "silver linings playbook" and "dark horse."

>> i love bradley cooper . i love the fact, willie, that this is about a real family.

>> yep.

>> and real problems.

>> uh-huh.

>> and that they're being talked about, because i think mental illness, it definitely has a stig stigma. and it comes with embarrassment and shame. so i thought it was great that it's being talked about.

>> and it is getting a lot of buzz. there's a lot of buzz for david o. russell as director.

>> yes.

>> that brings us to our directing category. savannah, natalie and al again stinking together, going with --

>> "lincoln."

>> steven spielberg for the win. i think it could be ang lee for "the life of pi ." amazing piece of work.

>> and hard movie to do visually.

>> right.

>> he pulls it off. unbelievable.

>> and, paula , back to "silver linings playbook" for david o. russell for you. i'm starting to get the feeling you like this movie a little bit.

>> i do. and did you all see bradley cooper in "the words"?

>> no.

>> he's on fire.

>> he is. and he is so pretty.

>> and there you go.

>> so i take it you would like him for best actor ?

>> well, best anything.

>> i'm going with you on that, by the way.

>> because you're buds and you speak french.

>> team savannah, natalie and al, daniel day lewis .

>> "lincoln."

>> he's the favorite. we would be surprised if he didn't win it.

>> be in character throughout the whole production in itself deserves it.

>> let's look at actress in a leading role . savannah and i both like jessica chastain in "zero dark thirty" you have an interesting choice, natalie , emmanuelle riva for "amore."

>> and al, which way did you go here?

>> jennifer lawrence .

>> the favorite in that category.

>> "silver linings playbook" again. i would be happy with jennifer lawrence , too.

>> it was so competitive.

>> you picked quvenzhane wallis.

>> i was so tickled to see the oldest and the youngest.

>> what a wonderful story.
