I was visiting Michael Ruhlman’s blog and came across this hilarious and priceless post by Anthony Bourdain. I personally do not watch the Food Network because I cannot find a program worth watching and Bourdain’s reviews justify my Food Network aversion.
Thanks for sending me to that article. I was definitely one of those people who used to watch FN but realized I had stopped because they no longer showed real cooking shows!
Yes, excellent article!
Ok — one could say he's biting the hand that has periodically fed him, BUT, he does have a point about Rachel Ray and Sandra Lee.
rasa Malaysia –
jared – bourdain has the same effect on me…I first thought his opinions were too ascerbic but they kinda grow on you and I do love his banter with ruhlman…
T.W. – I really don't have anything against the chefs that he reviewed or the Food Network … I just loved his analysis and thought it was too funny. I even have a lot of friends who like Rachel Ray and I respect their admiration… I even tried to watch the food network before but I just cannot get into it. I am curious about Nigella Lawson (who Bourdain has not reviewed) and see what she is all about…
Bourdain's post frequently make me jet coffee out of my nose and actually hoot with laughter. Kinda hard to explain in the office. His comment on this thread almost got me fired:

I had posted about that on Slow Travel. Anthony Bourdain at his best, he whips, beats and slices. It doesn't get much better than that!
LOL. Veli farnee.
