Bourdain Rants About the Food Network
I discovered Bourdain not long ago and watch him every chance I get.
Finally someone real and who doesn't put on a mask to please a bunch of Producers who think they know what the People want to see and hear.
I loved that he would smoke on camera it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.Although I'll miss scenes like Anthony riding a bike in China and stopping because he's tired and out of breath and needing a cigarette break.But hopefully him quitting means he'll be with us a very long time.
Thanks Anthony your the best thing on TV!!!!
Bourdain Rants About the Food Network
Hey gabagool - I think both Ina and Paula are good cooks. Grants their style is as different as night and day, but to put down Ina - you are so off the mark. He food is always good, clean and tasty (as I have tried many of her recipes). Also loving Paula with (everything tastes better with butter) attitude - I have also made some of her recipes and enjoyed them just as much. I personally, choose not to pick one over the other. FN is big enough for the both of them.
Bourdain Rants About the Food Network
Anthony Bourdain is an intelligent guy that cracks me up when in interviews, but his show bores me to death.
Giada's food sucks. It has no flavor! What the heck is AB thinking? Please get rid of Sandra Lee, I get a headache when I hear her speak. I feel like everyone is just repeating catch phrases that the other person said. We need ppl that actually know what they're saying. Bring back Mario, Emeril, Wolfgang Puck, hell even bring back Ready Set Cook!
Bourdain Rants About the Food Network
gabagool , that was spot on. Well other than the stupid stereotype of Southern States. I really think it's funny how elitist North Easterners are towards the South. I have family and friends in both regions and I can tell you now, people for the North East really need to look in the mirror before they judge others. Most of the more ignorant, backwards, and racist people I know, live in the North East.
Bigfoot Contessa. That's classic.
Bourdain Rants About the Food Network
@gabagool
The Barefoot Contessa was the name of the Hamptons gourmet food store that Ina bought years ago. Her husband spends his week at Yale and comes home on Fridays. Her friends are a little creepy, but so what!
Paula Deen is probably a decent home cook; she tells you that she isn't a chef ~ which is obvious to anyone who ever cooks anything that isn't loaded with butter, cream cheese and sour cream. And/or deep fried. That stunt with the Krispy Kreme donuts as the hamburger bun, still makes me gag a little. I do find her antics mildly amusing and sometimes grossly embarrassing
Bourdain Rants About the Food Network
A couple things here.
Who, in their right mind and in Gods green earth would EVER, EVER pick Ida (hubby, I need my bills paid) Garten (the barefoot part makes me vomit just a little) over Paula Deen? Just who? Well besides a guy who loves reminding his viewers every friggen week about how many drugs he did or how much he loves drinking.
Ida Garten (does she EVER wear ANYTHING but denim shirts big enough to wrap a house in?) does NOTHING. Besides making sure that all the viewers know she is a happening, PC, fag hag.
Deen, on the other had, represents a small part of what southern hospitality is all about. Yeah, it might not be healthy (though wait a few years, it will become healthy, everything does or vice versa) I think the fact that her food represents those backwards nasty southern states may be a good chunk of the reason she gets so much flack.
Kinda like the reason our Bigfoot COntessa is so well liked. "OH you must use GOOD salt, the kind that costs $$$ a pound! Its the GOOD stuff. Yeah ok. Keep selling $35 hot chocolate mix that includes a spatula you bought at walmart.
I give AB a pass because he understands the GREATNESS of Batali. BUt after that.....I don't know. For someone that fits the FN profile of all show and no go.............he should pipe down......don't SOME drugs make you mellow?

I love, love, love him and he is so spot on about FN. Ina and Giada can cook, but their new formats suck. Everything else on the network is horrible. Oh, except Alton Brown. Still love him
Bourdain Rants About the Food Network
Anthony Bourdain is so opinionated that inspite of his inebriation in this video he clearly and concisely provided spot on analysis of what troubles Food TV. He recognizes the limited talent on the network and I am proud to say that I agree. He is an alcohol fumed and formerly smokey breath of (fresh) air. Isn't it a shame his type of candor hasn't pervaded more of our society!
