Bourdain makes fun of Guy for selling $17 French fries at his shitty restaurant in Times Square, and rightfully so. Guy can provide mindless entertainment, but Bourdain is a cultural icon.
I had a response typed out, then decided he'd never understand if that's the way he thinks. so I gave up
if you hate Bourdain we legit wouldn't get along in life i could stomach neutral, but anything sub-neutral would be a deal breaker in a friendship
Bourdain made a couple cracks. Fieri responded with 3-4 sentences when asked directly during an all day interview. Why does anybody give a shit?
If it's wrong to make fun of a guy who bleaches his beard, bleaches/spikes his hair, dresses like a complete dipshit, and changed his name from Guy Ferry to Guy Fieri, I don't want to be right.
Guy and his schtick has done more for small restaurant owners than Bourdain ever will. Doesn't make me want to hang out with Bourdain any less. It also doesn't keep me from watching DDD every time it's on. They're polar opposites and represent completely different ends of the culinary spectrum. Why either one gives a flying fuck what the other says is beyond me.
Bourdain goes to a ton of small restaurants. He's got/had like 3 shows and a huge following. He's also done a shit load for various countries. They're both good about that
I wish we had this conversation in the terrorist attack thread. It would have made UncleJesse so mad and it would have been a real treat. I like Guy, but I've hardly seen any of Bourdain's adventures. Triple D's recommendations have a perfect record so far for me. I think both of them have cool jobs and don't seem to hurt anyone along the way. A famous chef's restaurant overcharges and serves underwhelming food ****GASSSSSPPP*****
Bourdain used to make fun of Zimmern and Emeril the same way, it is just his sense of humor. Can't believe this thread is 5 pages.
They are now. He used to rag on him a lot until the 1st time he was on his show. Then he did a bit about him being a good guy and that he really didn't have a reason to talk to shit about him.
Idk man, I just really prefer the comfort foods and drunken bar foods to the more high brow stuff AB runs into. Not to say there hasn't been amazing looking food on any of Bourdains shows, I just find my interests better served with the foods that Guy runs across more consistently. I watch DDD more for the food, I watch Bourdain because I like him a lot.
Yeah that's not what AB does... He eats more random street shit than anyone. Though he does enjoy nice things as well. He just went to the waffle house for fucks sake on the charleston parts unknown.
There is still a lot of high brow food he eats on any given show. He does eat a lot street fare and also a lot of home cooked meals. And a lot of it looks great, I just prefer the scene that Guy lays out food wise.
I'm trying to imagine whether a travel show jointly hosted by Bourdain and Karl Pilkington would be the best show in history or a colossal disaster.
I watch DDD indiscriminately. I also love Bourdain's book and most everything he has done on TV (other than when he rambles on about the meaning of life). Also try to visit DDD places when I travel. There's room for both in this world, even if I hate the bleach blonde douchebag look.
He does that Fresh from Florida show now that the Ag Dept promotes, got to meet him through that and he seemed cool.
Not food, but have any of you guys watched Booze Traveler? Love that show. It's basically Boudaine's show but for booze. All over the world drinking stuff you've never heard of.
Again, I wouldn't mind hanging out with either one. Probably not at the same time, but still. I can see how a guy who is classically trained and spent his life in kitchens would get chapped by a guy who won a game show into fame, but I feel like Guy should recognize that and expect it.
If I had to hang out with one of the two for a day, Bourdain wins hands down. That being said, I do enjoy Diner's Drive-ins and dives. But I'll be damned if I'm going to sit here and listen to you put Adam Richman down....you shut your whore mouth!
I highly recommend Kitchen Confidential for a good read even though it's got to be 20 years old or so.
Agreed, and the fact that Fieri put in the legwork too, just used winning that show as the springboard
He didn't say too many... The guy had to have his fucking hips replaced at 41... There is no amount of dicks he would consider too many.
tbqh I should have said the majority of TMB but you've been the most vocal AB defender in this thread so I just went with it
I haven't really defended anything other than the notion that you can't make fun of guy fieri. I don't want to live in a place where it isn't ok to enjoy his show and also laugh at how big of a douche he is
