I like both, but it seems pretty fitting that Bourdain would make jokes and that Guy would get in his feelings about it. None of this is out of character for anyone.
I haven't said anything serious at all. There are literally people in here advocating that Bourdain should be a nicer guy and not make jokes. I find that hilarious
I haven't read the thread but my old roommate was from Idaho and said the entire crowd booed him (at some fair or shit) when he came because he is a d-bag (bleached blonde, not Bourdain who is cool as shit). Local sports talk show said he came into their building and was doing interviews with the FM stations and what not and the people said they have never met a larger prick....and as somebody that has worked in radio and in a building you get tons of people coming through trying to promote shit. Music singers, comedians, sports legends, etc. If you are the biggest prick they have ever seen that is saying something.
Yeah some other chef he makes fun of went ham on him about not cooking anything in like 12 years and basically said what the fuck does he know
Yea, AB doesn't really do shit anymore but explore different cultures and usually all cultures are wrapped around food, politics and religion. Guy does the same thing, just only in the US and it's strictly about food.
I thought the same thing....till I started to cook, and now I love it. Along w/HDTV. fuck I'm getting old, need to go watch some Wire to feel better about myself.
Bourdain is more travel than food. I enjoyed no reservations more than parts unknown though. He gets way too political for my taste on parts unknown and I disagree with almost all of his political views.
Guy is a clown. But it's hard to hate a guy who drums up free national advertising for small businesses. Bourdain is an entertaining hypocritical asshole.
I went to see Jim Jefferies at the Best Buy in Times Square. Guy's place is right across the street. Told my buddy I'd find a cool bar in Times Square (hint: every place there sucks) to knock back some beers before the show. I told him there was a new cool Modern American Gastropub across from the theatre. He was so unbelievbly pissed when he walked into Guy's and saw me at the bar drinking an "Independence" Pale Ale. The plates are so large they should make you sign a waiver before order your food. Terrible.
He didn't. He made a single comment on twitter and a handful of jokes at his expense amidst a nationwide tour. He doesn't give a fuck about Guy beyond using him as an occasional punchline.
The only food personality I don't like is alex guarnaschelli and she still seems like a perfectly nice person...I just want to punch her in the face
I always laugh when I watch Fieri make a little dig while he's back in the kitchen with the owner. Theres something about having to tolerate a fat loud-mouthed bleached haired chode in order to reach the masses. And there I am, watching.
I guess I'm just saying to appreciate Guy for what he is. The vision of that bleach haired fat bastard running after someone who stole his yellow Lamborghini is hilarious to me. And I love Bourdain, but anyone who says he doesn't get a little too cunty from time to time is lying.
I went to his show in Portland this year, took my dad who is a big Bourdain fan, and while he made fun of Guy he basically gave him props for owning the Food Network.
Has anyone watched Supermensch on Netflix? It's about a bunch of random showbiz stuff, but the guy also practically invented the celebrity chef. Pretty cool.
Andrew Zimmern's show is by far the most entertaining. He is superior to all of them. I like Bordain's second but he does come off as an asshole for no reason some times but thats his douchey yankee personality. Its expected. But Guy is so fucking lame. I can't stand watching his show for more than 5 minutes. Hes just awful. Adam Richman is way better than fucking Guy. Such a tool.
Heard a rumor that women that eat too much tomato sauce have high PH levels in their vag and it makes them stink. Giada, you're on notice.
There is this other rumor going around that if you wouldn't fuck Giada, you're 100% homosexual. Big if true...
