and this is exactly what I was talking about...on a larger scale....

I've enjoyed Anthony Bourdain's show and biting wit for years now...    but what I don't enjoy is his bashing of  TV cooks who aren't in his elitist foodie circle, and I don't enjoy the typical liberal "I'm better than you" attitude..  now for some reason, he's chosen to publicly attack Paula Deen..   now don't get me wrong, I'm not a huge fan of hers, sometimes that laugh does get annoying and contrived...but she's basically not a bad person.... and she certainly didn't deserve the recent public drubbing she's gotten from King Bourdain...    who was basically trying to blame her because some Americans eat the wrong things and won't excercise..    Why doesn't he go after Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, who have contributed more than anyone to the obesity problem in this country by introducing the technology that has kept more Americans on their asses since the invention of the comfortable chair?   Who do you think you are, Bourdain, besides an ex junkie, who grew up in France, looking down your nose at the rest of America and acting like you're doing us a favor imparting your great wisdom to us via snarky and sometimes plain mean comments?  Go back to your mansion and play with your rich foodie pals Thomas Keller and Eric Ripert... or why don't you just go do something useful like feeding the homeless... like that evil skank, Paul Deen does on a regular basis?

  1. Well just remember the old adage : "You are what you eat". That being said, I just watched an episode of Bourdain's show where he ate a wild boar's rectum... at first i just thought he was in prison...
