Oh my fucking word, am I tired of Anthony Bourdain’s shtick. This guy writes more than he cooks. Or runs around on TV telling everyone about the weird fucking food he eats and how he disdains anyone for not being into eating an animal’s innards.
Fuck you Tony! You act as though you’re some trailblazing chef with something new to say. But you’re a fucking tired old act. And between you and me, you should be spending more time at your restaurant Les Halles instead of trying to be a fucking celebrity.
I should visit your restaurant and put it on Kitchen Nightmares. Maybe shape the fucking place up a bit, yes?
I tried to read Bourdain’s books. I managed to get through one excerpt of Kitchen Confidential, the part where he bitches about how much chefs have to work. Boo-fucking-hoo. What did he expect? Banker’s hours? And how fucking groundbreaking! Chefs have an intense life with lots of yelling and drugs! Before I got into the professional kitchen, I thought there were just cubicles behind the swinging doors. I thought I’d type up an email, embed some apps and entrees in it, hit the send button, and let the diners enjoy. But thanks to Anthony Bourdain, I know that’s not how it works.
He even tries to write novels – and he fucking fails at it. Bourdain’s novels are such tripe, he makes James Patterson look like James Joyce.
His show on the Travel Channel is called No Reservations. Is that because his restaurant is empty and has no reservations booked?
Just fucking curious.

The real Gordon Ramsay should sue you. But I do find your writings clever and amusing at times, this not being one of them.

This is the most bull-shit post ever. Thank God this blog is fake, because Chef Bourdain is one of the most respected chefs in the US-- and the REAL Gordon Ramsey share much of the same philosophies about cooking. Thank God I no longer regularly read this horse shit blog. I hope the real Gordon Ramsey finds out about this fake blog and sue you.

Gordon,
I'm adding meat to my Kraft Macaroni and cheese. Would you

Damn plural possessive.

Actually, GR, you don't know how to type. it's bankers' hours,
not banker's hours. There isn't one banker that has such hours.
All bankers have these hours, you idiot!
Your friend,

Gordon,
Brilliant! Please do a Show on Les Halles. That would be a dream come true!

Ramsay, you are just a tacky man. Go back to your roots and grow some more corn

hello, not the real man, like he has so much free time to waste it on a dumb internet thing. He would be with his family.

eat shit, Gordon! it is asshole fucks like you that have brought down the industry to the miserable felch that it has become. Tony's book is 100% correct... i should know, i have pretty much lived every sordid incident describe therein. why do you think that the majority... the overwhelming vast majority of foodies have openly hailed him as their god? because he got it right! unlike you and your fellow overrated celebrity douchebag idiots (Rachel Ray, Emeril, Kathy Casey, Martha Stewart,etc.) that can barely rise above the level of a Denny's fry cook and must obtain success by stomping all over the backs of others! i have seen you cook, nothing special. with all your blustering about how great you are, i would expect you to express more talent than what comes out of a unemployed worker's re-training program. how dare you call yourself a chef! if you were in my kitchen, i would have had you thrown out the first time you threw one of your temper tantrums or plated-up one of your epicurean travesties! your very presence in a kitchen insults the memory of Vatel, Escoffier, Reynière, Child, et al.
professionally yours... fuck off!
