I dig this: Anthony Bourdain

March 14th, 2009

Hes my hero, by the way.

He's my hero, by the way.

For foodies, Anthony Bourdain is like your best friend who would tell you if you had toothpaste in the corner of your mouth. He keeps it real. (I just finished reading his best-seller Kitchen Confidential. Great book.) He calls things like he sees them. Sure, all of his commentary is just opinion. But his credibility comes from the years he spent in New York’s ‘culinary underbelly,’ as he calls it in his book. He’s pretty funny, too.

Anyway…he’s talking major trash about culinary TV divas (male and female). See it here.

Here’s an excerpt, talking about Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee, whom I wish would go away forever:

All you have to do is waddle into the kitchen, open a can of crap and spread it on some other crap that you bought at the supermarket. And then you’ve done something really special. The most terrifying thing I’ve seen is her making a Kwanzaa cake. Watch that clip and tell me your eyeballs don’t burst into flames. It’s a war crime on television. You’ll scream.

I love this guy.
