News and commentary on books and writers


Thursday, February 15, 2007

If you’re one of the millions of Anthony Bourdain fans out there you’ll know about his love/hate (mostly hate) relationship with the Food Network. Here’s a full-on rant courtesy of Michael Ruhlman’s blog, where he appears as a guest blogger every once in a while.

“I find myself riveted by its awfulness, like watching a multi-car accident in slow motion. Mesmerized at the ascent of the Ready-Made bobblehead personalities, and the not-so-subtle shunting aside of the Old School chefs, I find myself de-constructing the not-terrible shows, imagining behind the scenes struggles and frustrations, and obsessing unhealthily on the Truly Awful ones."

Can’t get enough Bourdain ranting? Click here for a full list of all of his books and here for his official website. Oh, and don’t forget the Boudain Podcasts, available here.
