The Cape Cod Times has an article describing a recent visit by the eminent food chronicler to the institute of higher food learning. The expurgated report is hilarious, I'm sure he was much less restrained in the actual delivery. He's not likely to attend Guy Fieri's Kulinary Krew Koncert any time soon, but now that Fieri's network, owns his network, he knows what he has to do.

So, he's at a party and:

... and I turn around to look into the dead, sharp, dull eyes of Sandra Lee. She's running her fingernails up and down my backbone and she's saying, "You've been a very bad boy." (Bourdain called her Kwanzaa cake "a war crime.") It was like a scene from "Cape Fear."

and, about Bobby Flay:

He's the only real chef left on that network (Food Network). But what's the deal with "Throwdown!"? Eventually everyone in America is going to be able to say, "I beat Bobby Flay." But I'm pretty sure whatever he says, Bobby Flay can make chili better than you.

and

To one guy hoping to open a pizzeria, Bourdain advised, "Keep it simple. Pizza should never have more than two toppings, and it should never have pineapple on it. I like mortadella."

Sorry, but that sounds awfully familiar. Especially the fingernails thing. (Who could ever forget reading that?)

ETA: Found it (more or less). His blog for the TV show.

But it's a good article, and he's always entertaining.

But his network bought mine, so if Guy Fieri wants a bikini wax, I'll be there.

Scripps bought the Travel Channel? Shit, I hope not.

Yes.

I believe they also own the Fine Living Channel.

The only answer I have is this YouTube video

I don't get Bourdain to tell you the truth.. He is like this fake chef who, some how has street cred. He is known as like some bad boy.. Wow, he smokes Marlboro Lights, such a bad boy. And, I think he took a shot of vodka on T.V.

He walks around talking shit about people giving people the nod on who is cool and who is not. I don't really know too much about Sandra Lee but, I have been to Les Halles.. I wouldn't be too sure if Sandra's Kawanza cake couldnt give Tony a run for his money.. What, he will make french fries? Or pull a recipe out of his cook book that some real French Chef penned..

I listened to Kitchen Confidential on tape 8 or 9 years ago.. I felt it was very good.. But, since then, I have less selling out from Rocco.. Which, by the way, Bourdain made an appearance on his show.. Sitting there complimenting the food at maybe one of the worst Italian Restaurants I have ever been to.

As much as I love Bourdain and his show, I am getting the impression that all you have to do is cook a roast pig for him, and you'll get his props. Kim Jong-Il would only have to BBQ a pig for him, and North Korea would be the "in" place to be LOL. Meh, he's getting older and winding down a bit I guess. But he himself has said that being a babydaddy has changed him - good for his kid, but bad for his fans I'm afraid. I hate to see him get soft.
