The "No Reservations" host called the Southern chef "the most dangerous person in America" and lays into her further via Twitter. Travel Channel host Anthony Bourdain is in a war of the words with Food Network personality Paula Deen over her cooking.

On second thought maybe this was the best thing ever.
Sorry, you gotta sit through a commercial...but it's still worth it.
That’s fine ~ he can be crazy if he wants but even socialists eat.
Maybe it IS a New York thing. I liked Mario Batali’s show where he would cook for a couple of friends, showing off his (very extensive) knowledge and skills. Then I read an interview where he was just hating on Bush. Now I don’t care for him at all.
BTW, I’ve met Paula Deen in person and she is exactly like she is on TV. Very friendly and personable.
I agree. I used to like her but her voice grates on me bad. Plus she divorced her first husband. I hate that. Anyway she does contribute to the abundance of fat people in the South. But it still a free country.
Paula Deen got to where she’s at because she started her own small buisness which became a successfull restaurant......Bourdain became famous because he wrote a snarky,snoby, book bashing people and someone thought it would be a good travel show.
Paula Deen still acts down home and Bourdain tends to act like his a celebrity and look down his nose at people.
He probably hates all of us born & bred south of the Mason-Dixon line.
My BF's daughter is a pediatric RN at a world-famous California hospital. One of her terminal patients requested (I believe through Make-A-Wish) that Guy Fieri come and cook his favorite meal with him. Mr. Fieri did not have to be asked twice and went to the boy's room and spent hours in there with him. He wouldn't allow any pictures or any cameras in there either, nor any publicity whatsoever. The child was thrilled. I think he lived another couple of weeks.
So yes, Bourdain, I am also glad Guy Fieri is not you because you are an ***hole and God knows this world has enough of those.
Fieri, however, is a prince.
Fieri would be at home with any of us here. He has a huge heart (and a cool Camero).
Bourdain is something most of us would wipe from our shoe without thinking.

wonderful story...
Yep, and he’s exactly the kind of New York ass that southern women will not give the time of day. Plus, he thinks he’s Lou Reed. So he’s an ass besides being delusional. Who in their right mind would want to be Lou Reed?
If I'm not mistaken, Paula Deen has NEVER said her types of foods are particularly healthy, so why is Bourdain giving her grief about it? Her recipes are fine for eating from time to time, and most Southerners don't eat like that every day.
Did Anthony Bourdain have anything similar to say about Julia Child who used butter and cream all the time in her cooking? I guess since hers was French cooking, it would be considered OK.
Julia Child actually said that if you only eat low fat “healthy” foods that you’d become sickly and get dandruff. Hence her love of all things creamy and buttery. And she lived to be 90.
"What was Jesus's position on gout?" and linked to Deen's "The Lady's Brunch Burger" recipe -- which calls for butter, bacon, eggs and glazed donuts in place of hamburger buns -- saying, "I give you the 'horrific' 'Lady's Brunch Burger' (yikes) this erodes our military readiness!"
I'm gonna have to agree with Tony on this one. Paula is NOT a chef, but even her assumed "Southern Home Cookin'" is NOT what I ever ate as a Southerner. Some friends who went to her restaurant in Savannah said it was a "tourist trap", expensive for what you get and "Southern schtick on a stick" - not good dining. I also can't watch her cooking shows because of the affectatious Southern drawl (pap-a-rika for paprika; hay-am for ham). I can't think of one thing she ever made that I would try to duplicate. Sorry. Bourdain is not known as a "sweet" or "kind" person, but at least he is honest. I've watched his No Reservations show several times and I actually liked him.
That sounds good to me! I prefer medium rare, though. ;o)
I know! I remember a Freeper post awhile back where we discussed her rendition of Italian Lasagna - which included tomato soup and cottage cheese. YUK!
Guy’s own sister passed away in Santa Rosa within the last year and I want to say it was cancer but I am not sure of that...
Bourdain can be hilarious. He’s honest about his wild youth and his show is not for everyone - twisted crispy humor from the nuthouse of his mind while on a on a global culinary trek that scopes out both the underbelly as well as the pinnacle of cultures. He did one show about Absinthe in Paris instead of April in Paris and visited the hotels and some of the bars where famous people went bonkers on it a century or more ago. From a historical perspective it was fascinating and full of detail - full of admonition of the green muse.
He was with him (AB) in the New Jersey show, which was very funny.

i agree...& his shows are fantastic...
