Mr Bordain,
You sir, are a pompous ass. If you don’t have anything nice to say to your fellow chefs, you would be better off not saying anything. As regarding you asinine political comments…well…As far as you, no support from me at all. I used to watch your shows, but find you insufferable now. Enjoy them while they last. How I feel right now, I wouldn’t urinate on you even if you were on fire.
*Hugs*

I just read your rant about Paula Deens new endorsement if a diabetes drug. The food she prepares that is enjoyed by millions is by far the most enjoyable I’ve ever prepared and or tried. You of all people should not be critiquing her on the lack of health in her recipes. To say she should endorse a vegetable is the equivalent of a life long alcoholic saying you should endorse a rehab center or the nicotine patch. I would heap my plate with fried food from any of her books before putting one spoonful of something from your book that most people can’t even pronounce in its place, and that is after being fortunate enough to try food from all over the spectrum. You should put down the cigarettes and bottle before another chef

anthony, you have been aweful harsh to the mistakes of a sister in the spirit. as if you haven’t made you own. were you sandblasted as such when you had to make the decision to become a,friend of Bill’s? and if you were how did it feel? Paula was just trying to make it, as were you. do you not believe that your actions affected some millions of viewers also? becuase i have watched you then and now. Paula has a disease of mind and body and soul just as yourself. Matthew 7:3. i read it daily to remind myself of Rule 62.

Funny how Bourdain – rips Paula Dean – then has shows on TV- about drinking in excess- hangovers – and a really great image he portraits-look in the mirror bourdain… when i see you on a show i change the channel.

You are CORRECT about Paula Deen. She IS killing people. She IS the most dangerous person in America. The “food” she cooks is revolting, dangerous, and it’s breathtaking that she has a SHOW while we are in the grips of obesity and type 2 diabetes epidemics! WHAT GIVES?!

My mother is from south Georgia. She NEVER served that kind of rubbish. She always cooked healthy, DELICIOUS foods – low fat, fresh ingredients, and very little sugar. She grew up on a farm and that is how they ate. I don’t know WHERE Deen got her recipes but I’m just waiting for her first miocardial infarct.

BRAVO, Chef Bourdain! Merci!

I just saw the Kurdistan episode. Do I have a place you can visit! You are trained enough for this place. It is beautiful, interesting food preparation, colorful, a bit dangerous and definitely fascinating. I have been living here for 13 years and it never ceases to amaze me. Interested? It starts with the letter G and it is not Guyana which also fascinating. Contact me. Hai

Dear Anthony,

Loved your gutsy response to Paula Deen’s superficial approach to diet and diabetes. I’m so lucky to have grown up Italian with European sensibilities about food. I am so proud of my heritage. We all have heard the jokes about Italians not being good at war or politics. They let Fascism and Germans roll over them with a shrug. No government protests, no political persuasions. What I think is a hoot is that in all the years of their existence, the most disruptive protest came five years ago when greedy produce distributors tried to introduce genetically engineered manufacturing to the country. This caused riots, street fights, arrests, rock throwing, demonstrations, protests, — like never before! The message being, you can mess with our politics, our government, but do NOT mess with our food!

Not for public. Paula Deen is not a chef. She is a joke. I have always hated her food, her manner, her quest for fame with a passion. She claims the ADA supports her diabetes website but admits getting paid big bucks from the drug lords.

Anthony, my five year old granddaughter was just diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes despite her great nutrition, and organic heritage. I am so pissed at Paula and so proud of you for having the nuts to say what’s true.

As for “No Reservations” the writing is superb. I too, am a writer and love how you approach the topics. (Grew up in the 60′s.) Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Anthony
