Anthony Bourdain was asked by MSN TV to give his "culinary picks and pans" for the plethora of food-related shows, and, of course, he answered with no reservations, and no small amount of venom. Wouldn't want to be Toby Young reading this...
Rachael Ray: "I think people respond to her because of her personality and not her cooking, which is pretty damned awful."
Martha Stewart: "She cooks with great proficiency and economy of movement. That's a stone-cold efficiency that, as a professional, I gotta respect."
Toby Young: (This after Bourdain called Top Chef "the best cooking competition on television by far.") "Toby wrote a successful book that made a good case for his uselessness. He's lived up to that promise."
The Judges Of Iron Chef: America: "The judges, man. Have they had Richard Grieco on yet as judge? I think they had Criss Angel on, for crissakes. Who are these douchebags they put on there?"
