a nobody from a funky food show is now an expert on politics and foreign affairs.

Yes, Bourdain's a well known liberal, so any gruntings that come out of his pie hole are going to be... liberal.

BIG surprise there.

Just like Mario Batali. Big fat liberal.

Paula Deen is a liberal, but even that didn't save her from feeling the wrath of her fellow leftists.

Alton Brown, a devout Christian, never talks politics.

That's pretty smart on his part.

Never alienate half of your audience.

Ultra liberal effete 50 something Manhattanite libtard who fancies himself a libertarian

The way he betrayed Luscos restaurant in Greenwood Mississippi in the Delta with no warning was treacherous

He is no damned good....at all.

I did a lot of restaurant work. Had to compete with illegals for it back in the 70s.

I was a busboy at 13 in NYC.

No illegal aliens at that place.

He was a chef at the the Supper Club, One Fifth Avenue, Sullivan’s and executive chef for the famous Brasserie Les Halles in New York City.

If Bourdain has been noted for his cooking expertise, his experience with illegal drugs is something not to be proud of. He has taken Cannabis, methaqualone, cocaine, LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, secobarbital, tuinal, amphetamine, codeine and, increasingly, heroin. He is known for his insults to other chefs, namely, Paula Deen, Bobby Flay, Guy Fieri, Sandra Lee, and Rachael Ray. It is not surprising for him to have insulting comments for political figures. Drugs seem to distort ones perception of reality and behavior. For Bourdain, he has taken on an obnoxious character which, fortunately, has not come across on his TV series.

Probably a lot of other American young people working alongside of you at minimum wage, getting their feet on the fist the rung of the economic ladder.

Well, Mr. Bourdain, at the “mid-scale” restaurant my brother is Asst. Manager at, in a mid-size city in a region heavy with illegal immigrants, every employee is a US citizen. Most are over 30 years old. The food is good, the portions large, and the prices are reasonable - comparable, I would say, to Applebees. (Better, really because the food id as good or better, and the portions are larger.) The employees are provided good health insurance, and most work full time.

Capacity is, I would guess, ~ 90 patrons. The restaurant has been in business many years, has a loyal clientele, and is solidly profitable.

So, Mr. Bourdain, why is it that you can attract only illegal alien workers?

Anthony Bourdain, the snarky foodie decides to get into politics. Pathetic.

If they would pay decent wages, they would get workers. Expecting a person to live on 2.86 an hour and beg for tips is a tragedy. The minimum wage is no better. So Anthony? Perhaps paying an American a good salary would attract a better pool of applicants.

He's full of crap.

For one thing, yes in New York and Los Angeles you get all the illegals because they flooded the market.

We went to Boston last summer and SURPRISE, all those jobs where Hispanics didn't invade were being done by Citizens of the United States.

Americans especially older Americans in places like Los Angeles and New York have no jobs due to illegals making it impossible as an American to work in the service industry.
In addition, Hispanics only hire their own and have caused their to be a need to speak Spanish there are so many illegally here.

So Bourdain is totally full of crap.

Depends on how much of his existing audience Bourdain decides to forgo.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's strong stance on illegal immigration has already drawn serious backlash from the restaurant industry, and celebrity chefs José Andrés and Geoffrey Zakarian have pulled restaurants from Trump's new Washington, D.C., hotel.

Celebrity chefs are a dime a dozen, so it is foolish to punish your own business for a false cause.

Maybe these chefs are not comfortable with their business prospects, and need an excuse to pull out.

Sensible, law-abiding chefs would look into what it will take to ensure that their help is made up of legal immigrants.

The Food Industry certainly knows which side of the bread has butter on. The CIA Chefs are a majority of Libs. Food Network, Food Channel might near all those faces are those of liberals. Not certain, perhaps even our old friend Alton Brown might have had some of the genes...though kinda doubt it considering where he was raised and all. Tony Bourdain is perhaps the least favored of the lot. He has a temper and few would care to find it once it was lost.

He’s a very creepy guy. Gives off vibes that you don’t want your children around and makes you want to change the channel before the ick oozes out of the tv and you have to call in a hazmat team to fumigate your living room. Seriously, big time creepy dude who’s also a not too nice bad drunk. Was channel surfing and saw his drunken display on one of his shows. Who intentionally puts that on their show? It didn’t surprise me a bit when CNN brought him into their little wacko lib family.
