Anthony Bourdain Calls Paula Deen "Dangerous To America"
Bourdain, known for not holding his tongue about much at all when it comes to cooking, tells TV Guide that Deen isn't helping anyone's health with her horrid cooking, saying because of her fatty, calorie-laden meals, she's "the worst, most dangerous person to America." Really? Most dangerous to America?."She revels in unholy connections with evil corporations, and she's proud of the fact that her food if f--king bad for you," he said. "I would think twice before telling an already obese nation that it is OK to eat food that is killing us. Plus, her food sucks."
Whatever. Team Paula. This guy is an ass. He doesn't exactly promote the healthiest form of living either so he's just a hypocrite. Every one person is in charge of themselves. There's such a thing as moderation and Paula Deen isn't responsible for the world.
Update: Queen Paula's response:
Well the Georgia butterball was clearly stewing in her own juices over the insults, because she's back today with some fightin' words of her own."Anthony Bourdain needs to get a life," she fumes to the New York Post's Page Six."You don't have to like my food, or Rachael [Ray]'s, Sandra [Lee]'s and Guy [Fieri]'s. But it's another thing to attack our character. I wake up every morning happy for where I am in life. It's not all about the cooking, but the fact that I can contribute by using my influence to help people all over the country. In the last two years, my partners and I have fed more than 10 million hungry people by bringing meat to food banks."Deen then slams Bourdain for his lack of charitable work and said he's just a moody instigator."My good friends Rachael, Guy and Sandra are the most generous charitable folks I know," she said. "They give so much of their time and money to help the food deprived, sick children and abandoned animals. I have no idea what Anthony has done to contribute besides being irritable."
Deen also blasts Bourdain for being a chef to the high-class only.
"You know, not everybody can afford to pay $58 for prime rib or $650 for a bottle of wine," she says. "My friends and I cook for regular families who worry about feeding their kids and paying the bills."
You go girl.
