Bourdain Throws Down

"I actually WATCH Food Network now and again, more often than not drawn in by the progressive horrors on screen. I find myself riveted by its awfulness, like watching a multi-car accident in slow motion … " More via Ruhlman’s blog »

    Tony,
    I love your show!
    When you went to Hawaii, I hope you went to Lanai, Kauai, and Maui. Not just Oahu.
    When you come to San Francisco, you can stay at my house in Alamo if you want.

    Tony,
    You are an idiot. I was your biggest fan until that horrid talk show where you and a bunch of other burnouts tried to talk about food like you were solving the worlds problems. What were you thinking? The whole reason you had any appeal at all is because you knew what you were:a cook. You brought dignity to the clan. Now you are a clown. I know I will be right because that format will probably take off and you will be the next Lagasse, Dispirito, or Rachael Ray. Or it will bomb, and thankfully save your reputation before you screw it up anymore.

    Tony,
    You are the man. I think the person above me must be either A. mentally retarded, or B. A hater. Someone who inspires people to get out and experience new culture is not a clown. There’s no better way to start learning about a culture than to sit down and eat what they eat. It’s the fuckin’ best way to show respect because it shows the people you are trying to give a shit about the things they give a shit about. I don’t think people really give a fuck about whatever you did on Food channel. Keep on pimpin’.

    hay tony, com to brunei and stay in my house, forget those other offers! regolado has stoned a black spitting cobra in the driveway and we can dig it up, shood be redy by nw, and bbq it. also can get macaque monkey from back fence, fresh, is easy with slingshot, nice with satay of pied hornbill. we have kalamazoo bbq from usa, can cook, bake and sail to labuan island on it also. we can climb bamboo for shitty bids nest in caves, only 30 minut across border and make soup. your show only reason worth having astro tv. hate that tv guy who masticates camera and eats for a dare. also do not like sugar cooks who hang titties in whipped cream (but understand if you like them). do enjoy your show would happily shout you a tiger from a chipped coffee mug hidden under the table (brunei is dry). my kids and partner all enjoy your show and it keeps us in touch with some real world values while in expat land. love your production values, you must have a great crew.

    One of the last original badasses, definitely. May your glass/bowl stay full, your tunes loud and your friends close, thanks a million.

    who the hell did the sound dubbing on the Washington D.C. show,, the background music was so loud it was no longer in the background, it was in the foreground and I had trouble trying to hear Anthony talking about anything…
    Turn down the damm music so I can hear the interesting dialoge.

    Hey Tony, welcome back to the Scripps Networks family. Guess you will have to get over yourself or find another network.

    Tony, always loved your show but lately you seem to have to interject politics more and more.If your looking for a thumbs up from alan colmes or jenean garafalo, well done.But I don’t like your politics and don’t want to hear them because true to your liberalness you like to talk unsolicited crap about people,no balls to do it in person I guess.Keep your show about food and I’ll watch.Otherwise fk you.

    Hey Tony,

    Just read your book “Medium Raw”. So far I have really enjoyed it. I especially like the piece on hamburgers. Especially “designer burgers”. I like Bobbly Flay but I went to his burger joint in Monmouth County, N.J. and I couldn’t believe he was charging 7.95 for a “small black angus burger”. I can point out half a dozen great burger places in the area that serve a better burger and you get fries along with it too! I don’t know how his place is doing but you won’t find me there because I can’t see paying for these “fancy burgers” when you can get a good one somewhere.
