RE: Anthony Bourdain
Several friends and I have made a decision to stop watching the Travel Channel.
We are sick and tired of Boudain’s filthy, low class, sick, mouth. Every other word is FUCK. His constant perverted, mentally ill references to food: “I could stick my penis in this”. “The air smells like butt cracks”. “I might have to go and i.e. (masturbate)”. Boudain has obvious mental problems! There are children watching this! Children should not watch this, but they do! Does Bourdain allow his daughter to watch this TRASHY MOUTH? Does he talk like this around her? Does he talk to his daughter and refer to everything in a sexual way? “Hey, how was school today? Was it good enough for me to stick my penis in your teacher’s desk? Did you wash your butt crack today or do you still stink from pooping? Come here little girl…..let me teach you how to talk like a low class whore. You can grow up just like me and be on TV!”
TRAVEL CHANNEL, CLEAN UP YOUR CHANNEL! YOU ARE A DISGRACE FOR ALLOWING THIS!

To be as popular as he thinks he is, I don’t know of anyone who has ever said they enjoyed eating anything inspired by Anthony Bourdain. I’ve seen some of his shows where he goes around the world eating other people’s creations while delivering critique and criticism, but I have never actually seen him put together anything edible. Who is this Anthony Bourdain and why should I care about his culinary opinions? I only really know of him because he chooses to criticize other chefs who actually cook good food.

Hi Tony-I teach cooking to adults in West Hartford, CT. Wanted to let you know about a curriculum I developed and use based on your belief that everyone should know how to cook. The inspiration for my Culinary Essentials program actually came from your Techniques Special on No Reservations. You can check it out at http://www.AtTheStove.com in cooking-> lessons. Thanks for the great books and shows!

Hi, thank you Anthony for writing the book (KC) and sharing you story with us. I got it from a friend who is a Chef and he used to tell me almost the same things about the “Kitchen” world, in the same true and honest way you described it. I work in a restaurant in Melbourne that is blooming with cafes, restaurants and all about good food, gourmet farmer, masterchiefs and so on.. and it really inspired me to learn from your experiences. I do love food and I’m learning to try new dishes I’ve never tasted before in my life to discover new flavours. My humble opinion is that being able to appreciate and “recognize” each little flavour a food can give you is one of the best gifts of all. I am what I eat, but I also choose to eat just the very best I deserve to eat.

Concerning at the table with Anthony Bourdain…of course people are interested in cooking for their families!!! The fear of failure is abated by watching the cooking shows. I can cook and have been a reciipient of compliments from fammily and friend…”If you go hungry at Virginia’s table,it’s your own fault” I gain confidence and adventuresome ideas from things I see on Anthony Bourdain and other shows. I am Slovenian and know we use everything but the squeal in preparation of good,traditional foods thaat have served my kin for years well. Blood sausage, head cheese, stews, you name it. The airing of shows is a refreshing remembrance of what I knew to be the old ways of food preparation when people respected the animall that gave its life for our sustanance. Throw out bones? Wasteful. Throw out innards? You’ve missed out on the wonders of rich sustanance. If people knew where sausage came from, they might back off. Too bad for them.

Life is precious and we must respect what we are given to work with for our sustenance. Rich or poor God gives us sustenance. We have only to accept the gift. We don’t go hungry if we do.

Please stop with the right-wing comments about Ted Nugent, Bill O’rielly, and so forth. After all, we have our culture too. Just remember, Manhatten is still only a very small part of America.

I feel sorry for you, Anthony, because you feel you must bash Paula Deen to make yourself feel better. I personally would rather eat Paula’s fare than those buzzard balls you promote on your show(which I USED to watch). There’s room in the culinary world for all kinds. I thought that’s what your show was about??! Soooo disappointed in you, Anthony. What gives?
