For his Parts Unknown visit to Israel, adventuresome chef Anthony Bourdain has been honored with the Voices of Courage and Conscience in Media award from the U.S. Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC). It was the chef’s first time in Israel, and he visited Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza.

In his own words: “By the end of this hour, I’ll be seen by many as a terrorist sympathizer, a Zionist tool, a self-hating Jew, an apologist for American imperialism, an Orientalist, socialist, a fascist, CIA agent, and worse.”

Yes, yes, you're a good little capo. Your kommandants at CNN will be proud.

Nah, you're just a pompous boor.

All of that and more-since the first time I saw you, I knew you’re also a pr*ck!

“I’ve never been in a synagogue. I don’t believe in a higher power,” he told viewers. “But that doesn’t make me any less Jewish, I don’t think

Haven't seen the show, so I can't comment. And no, when you have a Catholic mom and French Jewish pop, neither religious, no, never going into a Synagogue doesn't make you less Jewish, since you weren't to start with.

Celebrities inventing themselves as Jewish is a bit old.

I seem to remember he blasted Reagan in an episode filmed somewhere in Latin or Central America, maybe Nicaragua.

[clintonh8r]

You’re right. He flatters himself.

Always good to get the broken-down, East Coast douchebag perspective on geopolitics.

[miss marmelstein]

Why can’t he concentrate on turning out a decent coq au vin? Do you see Gordon Ramsey running all over troublesome countries trying to gin up trouble? I mean, aside from bad restaurants in Los Angeles and Arizona?

May he break his teeth on a stale bagel!

[Mears]

I detest this guy and I never could figure out why.

Now I know.

Right. Won’t be watching this creep anymore!

He did a Travel Channel show with Ted Nugent. Talk about two diametrically opposed perspectives! But Ted let him shoot some of his automatic weapons, they had BBQs and beers, and Bourdain MAY have lost some of his Eastern douchebaggery ... at least for a while. It was a good show.

They’re not arrogant, they’re just better than us.

Anthony, you have let me down.

I am seriously disappointed. I will no longer watch you get stoned in Amsterdam and eat God knows what in other places.. You’re off the Hulu list, dude!!

I have always been suspicious of the earring.

Sorry, guys, I just despise earrings on men, unless they are pirates. Even then, not a bog fan.

[Trod Upon]

I saw that one and actually had a moment of appreciation for Bourdain being willing to admit he enjoyed it. Unfortunately, he seems to be regressing.

[Trod Upon]

Or lose some tendons trying to slice it!
