Enough of the politics. I don’t know why you guys spend so much time on it.
Some pretty funny quotes from the Bourdain
“The worst, most dangerous person to America is clearly Paula Deen,” Bourdain says. “She revels in unholy connections with evil corporations and she’s proud of the fact that her food is f------ bad for you plus, her food sucks.”
Of Guy Fieri, Bourdain says: “I look at Guy Fieri and I just think, ‘Jesus, I’m glad that’s not me.’”
The cattiness continues with Rachael Ray. “Does she even cook anymore? I don’t know why she bothers,” Bourdain says. “To her credit, she never said she was good at it.”

You missed the one about Sandra Lee: “Don’t mess with her. I rarely feel uncomfortable, but she has a powerful force. ** I hate her works on this planet**, but she is not someone to be dismissed, clearly.”
That’s hilarious. I’ve seen about three minutes of her show. She comes off as a snobby bitty. I don’t watch much of the cooking shows, but my wife watches some. I don’t think she likes Sandra Lee, either.
Holy shit that thing was an abortion on every level. It is legendary between me and my buddy. We speak of it in whispered aw. Afraid if it hears us it will destroy us. If I was black I would be offended. Not just because of the stupid holiday thrust upon me but also that cake.
I have a deep love hate feeling about Tony. I dig the punk ethos and his refusal to travel like a tourist. I am not a foody so when foodies say shit I usually vomit and wish for the foody’s death, usually my wife’s. During the South Carolina No Reservations he was eating some grits and said, “These grits are light years ahead of what anyone else is doing with grits.” Really? Light years? They are fuckin’ grits you douche bag. Some people make bad grits some make yummy grits but they are just fuckin’ grits. Only so much you can do with them. What an ass hat.
It’s like saying some people make good BBQ and some make bad BBQ - when there are many types of sauces, seasoning, ways of cooking, parts of the meat, etc. I agree it’s just BBQ, and his description of “light years ahead” is idiotic, but food is such a hard thing to describe - “it’s exemplary”?

Nothing new here. He’s always been critical of celebrity chefs especially Rachel Ray but he is on a lecture tour and perhaps needs the additional publicity. I looked at tickets for San Diego but I’m not that big enough a fan to pay $67.50 to hear him speak.
I guess since I am a natural enemy of the foody that I really can’t understand the snobbery. I live with one and it drives me fucking bananas. It’s food people just eat and shut up.

The Kwanza cake was a slow motion train wreck, as is most of Sandra Lee’s work. She did an angel episode one time where she dressed in all white; it made me want to reach through the tv and bitch slap her.
But, the best part about that YouTube page is the featured link on the top right with the video of “Giada Di Laurentis in a bikini.” It’s great, of course, but the video isn’t showing anything new. Giada has her money makers hanging out the top of a low cut shirt in every episode of every show I’ve ever seen her on. Ever.
Giada Di Laurentis is a freak. Literally. Do you realize she’s something like 4’10"? With that enormous, made-for-TV head, she is a human bobble-head doll !
Absolutely right. Paula Deen has been killing people for too damn long with her fat riddled recipes. It’s about time someone took her down a peg. And, Guy Fieri…I kinda like him, but is there any question that despite all his rings and macho BS, he’s queerer than a 3 doller bill?
Bourdain lives for food the way some of us live for Tri. Gotta respect that. He is the Macca of the food world.

Haha, so true, she is very short. I met her back in 2006 at a book signing in LA. I was out there for a conference and she was signing copies of her newly released cookbook at the bookstore across the street from my hotel. I honestly didn’t think her height was that odd because she’s about the same height as my wife (they’re both actually about 5’2").
Be interesting to see if his criticism extends to the food guys on his network - the idiot that never misses a gorging contest and the guy that eats bugs and rotten shit.
I’ll skip over my previously stated fetishes with Rachel’s rear and Giada’s cleavage and say I am a Bobby Flay guy. That’s my food genre.

I’ve heard him toss insults at Zimmern and Adam Richman.
His best feud has been with Alan Richman (the critic, not the Man v. Food Guy). He first called him a douche for a post-Katrina review of New Orleans cuisine. (Richman went to New Orleans and trashed its culture and cuisine – in the process, he reviewed the food that a local chef was providing food to relief workers). When Richman retaliated with a scathing review of Les Halles, a restaurant where Bourdain had not worked in years, Bourdain responded by calling him a cunt. If the two would ever meet, I’d expect a slap fight that would dwarve any Armstrong-Hamilton showdown.
To his credit, Richman played himself in Treme in a plot line that mirrored his New Orleans review and the subsequent response.

Couldn’t you say the same thing about basically everyone’s hobby?? Why do cyclists need matching kits? Why do triathletes need $8000 bikes? Why do golfers need $500 drivers? Wine is just fermented grapes right? Bottom line is basically everyone is a snob about their hobbies, to belittle other people about their snobbery is essentially the ultimate in snobbishness. Basically, it sounds like you are saying, I am better than you because I am not a snob about x, y and z.
