It has gotten to the point where I really don't care what the hell Anthony Bourdain cares about anything. I liked
Kitchen Confidential (the book, not the TV show) and some of his other writing, but this need to speak out on anything and everything in the food world he finds lame or disgusting or "evil" has gotten old. Now he (and chef David Chang) is speaking out on other things he can't stand, and
one of them is Food Network host Guy Fieri.
Personally, I wouldn't bleach my hair and wear those shorts, but come on, is it really worth bad mouthing his hosting and cooking? I love
Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and
Ultimate Recipe Showdown!
Update: it's actually Chang who made the remarks, but
Bourdain doesn't like Fieri either.

I could probably write something about politics, sex, healthcare, education, or religion and it wouldn't be as controversial as what I'm about to say: Anthony Bourdain is wrong and Sandra Lee is right.
If you haven't been keeping track of the things Bourdain has been saying about the Food Network host, here's a quick summary.
Bourdain wrote some unkind things about Lee and her
Semi-Homemade Show (and some other Food Network hosts) a couple of years ago. Among other things he called her "pure evil," a "hell spawn," and said "she must be stopped." Ouch. There's also
this video of Bourdain at a food festival dumping on Lee, and now Bourdain has written on his blog about his
recent brief encounter with Lee. at the premiere of
Julie & Julia.

Here are the new TV DVDs, in stores tomorrow.Now
this is a DVD release week. Lots of stuff for every type of TV fan. I'm definitely getting
Mad Men (and I'm going to watch all of the episodes again immediately to get ready for next month's launch of season 3), and I'm tempted to get the season 8 set of
Bewitched, though I'll probably wait for the inevitable complete series set. I've never seen
The Guns of Will Sonnett, but friends tell me it was good. Hopefully that's on Hulu or AOL Video or Retro TV so I don't have to actually buy it yet.
- American Gladiators - Season 1
- Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations - Collection 4
- Bewitched - Season 8
- Bleach - Uncut Box Set Vol. 3: The Rescue
- ER - Season 11
