maybe some have seen it, I'm just seeing it now and I lol'd:

PAULA DEEN
"The worst, most dangerous person to America is clearly Paula Deen. She revels in unholy connections with evil corporations and she's proud of the fact that her food is f---ing bad for you. If I were on at seven at night and loved by millions of people at every age, I would think twice before telling an already obese nation that it's OK to eat food that is killing us. Plus, her food sucks."

GUY FIERI
"I look at Guy Fieri and I just think, 'Jesus, I'm glad that's not me.' You work that hard and there's not a single show of yours that you'd want to sit down and say, 'Hey, I made that last week. Look at that camera work. It's really good, huh?' I'm proud of what I do."

RACHAEL RAY
"Does she even cook anymore? I don't know why she bothers. To her credit, she never said she was good at it. I feel bad that she still feels compelled to cook. Her [syndicated] talk show is doing well, and she does that well. I don't watch, but I don't run screaming from the room."

SANDRA LEE
"There was an incident with Sandra Lee when I ran into her [after criticizing her publicly]. It was deeply terrible. Don't mess with her. I rarely feel uncomfortable, but she has a powerful force. I hate her works on this planet, but she is not someone to be dismissed, clearly."

also a good hitlist of things he's said about a number of FN chefs in the past:

PLAYBOY: What’s the best barbeque you’ve ever had?

BOURDAIN: If I was looking for brisket, ribs, the burnt ends, I’d go to Oklahoma Joe’s in Kansas City. If I wanted a whole hog, I’d go to Mitchell’s in North Carolina.

i love anthony bourdain. i own two of his books and both are amazing reads if you like him.

i actually wasn't a huge fan of 'no reservations' until i read his book(s).

he's a fantastic writer, extremely dry humor, and does not pull punches.

Never liked him. He's just generally an asshole. Does he even have a cooking show??? I've never heard of one.

No way. Dude is awesome. Have you seen No Reservations?

He's very humble... He's opinionated... but so am I... fuck... Am I an asshole?

Oh well... if it makes me as good as him I'm ok with with it (keep in mind I know I'm not 5 percent the dude Tony is...)

I'm with Curtis on this one... ALL HOMO

I'm okay with everything he has said. Especially that douche-nozzle Guy Fieri.

But, if he EVER says a bad word about Giada, I'm kicking his ass.

Oh.. and even for those of you poor lost souls who don't like Bourdain...

If you have Netflix online you need to check out Season 8/Episode 11 of No Reservations where he shows the techniques of stuff we eat all the time but chances are you cook incorrectly.

Some really great tips for people to make amazing food.
