He's been guest-blogging (and is rumored to soon have his own forum) on Michael Ruhlman's blog. First it was about Top Chef, and now Anthony Bourdain has unleashed his furious commentary on the Food Network. I'm especially amenable to his suggested Iron Chef America matches, in particular Marco Pierre White vs. Gordon Ramsay as well as his unabashed admiration for Mario Batali. (Sensitive readers are warned herewith about language that appears in the pig-sanctioned link above.)
I've read Bourdain's Kichen Confidential and A Cook's Tour easily 20 times each and count them among my favorite. books. ever (and encouraging my difficulty in reading non-chefs writing about food). Although nowadays he's doing silly things like getting tazed by a SWAT division of the LAPD, I still think he is one of the most fun writers on food -- and on anything, as his recent acerbic commentaries on television can attest -- working currently. Anyway, this is hilarious reading.
