Paula Deen has stated many times that her recipes aren’t for everyday eating. They are recipes that are used for when you want to make something really tasty and decadent. Bourdain is one of those “chef type people” who like to criticize non-chefs (I personally think he is very impressed with himself and his title). Just a thought.

Paula Deen suffers from what dietary related disorder?

I've watched both Rae and Deen for years, but I doubt that I've cooked more than two or three things from their shows. Their shows are for entertainment, not a guide for eating. Bourdain admits he loves bone marrow dishes and fois gras, but I doubt he eats them every day. Same for the food shown by Rae and Deen.

Bordain went the Czechoslovaia and helped PEASANTS make sausages by hand, cook them immediately and sit around in a backyard drinking beer and eating them by hand. Most of his shows don’t involve actual chefs, just locals and local cooking.

He can be a prick, though.

I would love to see the calorie count for each dish at a high-end restaurant. If you had an app, salad, soup, entree, and dessert with a drink, wine and coffee.

I’d much rather have a dab of REAL butter, that a glob of that fake stuff full of chemicals any day of the year.

I’m one of those short people, who watches every calorie, so only enjoy the high cal stuff once in a while.

My dad lived into his late 90’s eating BUTTER.

What is "chef type people",/i>. What makes someone a chef, that they cook or that they get paid to cook?

even Julia Child stated that you had to have flavor....butter....but she also talked that you don't eat that way every day....

butter is good....meat is good....we just need to have it a little less often...
