I took it that Tony was burned out!

Surprised they'd be using junk while working in a top kitchen though.

BTW, no problem with him advocating on behalf of the hispanic chefs ~ there are quite a few of them ~ many of them moved into major kitchens after extensive stints onboard cruise ships.

At the same time you have to remember that as long as there are rich people they should be able to get visas.

He just lost me as a viewer.

Same here. Can't say it surprises me though. His show persona is that of a person completely convinced of their own "hipness".

You would be amazed at what happens before and after the rush. And if someone can't function during the rush, they are gone. So it's high-functioning druggies, alkys, queers and pervs until they burn themselves out (not all, but lots).

Tony is burned out and over the hill.

He needs to have a big cup of STFU and go back to charging owners of dying restaurants for a few months of hope that he can turn it around. That was his primary scan for years.

The only thing he DOES have reservations with is “very angry white people”?? He fails to realize that those are the very people who would stand side by side with him to fight for his right to smoke. And drink. And say what’s on his mind. Hey Anthony! You’re dogging the wrong people.

I read Bourdain’s book, “Kitchen Confidential” and found it to be enjoyable. It is unfortunate that his political views don’t line up with mine, but I will continue to watch his show.

Actually, that is Andrew Zimmer, Bourdain eats normal international dishes.

Tried watching his show once when it first came on and couldn’t stand his arrogance.

Dude, he’s a New York City boy. I’d be shocked if he’d ever seen a Tea Party rally in person.

I stand corrected on the cable channel............I was trying to prep my swimming pool for the holiday weekend whilst baking a pizza in the oven..........I only have three tentacles and it's a bitch keeping four balls in the air.......LOL

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Yeah, shut up and cook.

But you’re right on about the kitchen being like the chaos of war. In fact the kitchen staff develops a camaraderie that’s probably pretty similar to a platoon. It’s very close knit. I don’t know how people manage to sustain a career doing that stuff. Every day (or night really) is so crazy and so stressful, but they do it day after day. It takes a certain personality that thrives on chaos. I think there’s some escapism involved too. The dinner rush doesn’t let you think about anything except the dinner rush. There really is no outside world or other life when you’re in the thick of it.

51% of Tea Partiers are Democrats or Independents. - Gallup.

Link to a transcript of the exchange here... (about 2/3 of the way through the program)

http://edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1005/21/acd.02.html

“NUGENT: Well, Anthony, booby, I bring you garlic and butter ingredients from the grilling epicenter of America. However, sir, I've attended a bunch of Tea Parties. And what the Tea Party is, in a nutshell, is working hard, playing hard Americans that are demanding a very simple thing, that we, the people, who are the boss of the bureaucrats, demand accountability.

“Honey, we're in debt up to our ass. Let's go shopping.” That's not cutting it with working hard, playing hard America. I am 100 percent behind the Tea Party. In fact, it's really late — better late than never.

But we the people are supposed to be suspicious of bureaucrats. We're supposed to monitor our elected officials. We're supposed to communicate. It's an experiment in self-government, and the apathy is the No. 1 curse in this country. And the Tea Party is an indicator that maybe apathy is starting to be remedied. So I salute the Tea Party activists.”

Known for consuming exotic and daring ethnic dishes, Bourdain is famous for eating sheep testicles in Morocco, ant eggs in Puebla, Mexico, a raw seal eyeball as part of a traditional Inuit seal hunt, and a whole cobra — beating heart, blood, bile, and meat — in Vietnam. According to Bourdain, the most disgusting thing he has ever eaten is a Chicken McNugget, though he has also declared that the unwashed warthog rectum he ate in Namibia and the fermented shark he ate in Iceland are among “the worst meals of his life.”

Bourdain is well within my range of watchability. The worst part is his shows have become too formulaic.... especially with his voice over summation at the end. He seems bored with the format. He’s running out of places to go for their food and culture

Look, Tony gets to go into the kitchens. I can filter out his political stuff. Even his competitors don't get deep into the kitchen ~ if at all.

Not that I want to be a cook or chef, but fur shur I want to see how those guys usually put this stuff together. I'm trying to avoid wheat gluten at all costs. When Tony or his restaurant guy says "flour" my ears move into the proper position to get all of the sounds.

Ok I’m white and I’m angry, thanks for stating the obvious.

I don’t think you were as angry as the union goons who showed up to terrorized the teen son of a bank of America official...
