Anthony Bourdain takes on the personalities who leave a bad taste in his mouth.

PAULA DEEN
"The worst, most dangerous person to America is clearly Paula Deen. She revels in unholy connections with evil corporations and she's proud of the fact that her food is f---ing bad for you. If I were on at seven at night and loved by millions of people at every age, I would think twice before telling an already obese nation that it's OK to eat food that is killing us. Plus, her food sucks."

GUY FIERI
"I look at Guy Fieri and I just think, 'Jesus, I'm glad that's not me.' You work that hard and there's not a single show of yours that you'd want to sit down and say, 'Hey, I made that last week. Look at that camera work. It's really good, huh?' I'm proud of what I do."

RACHAEL RAY
"Does she even cook anymore? I don't know why she bothers. To her credit, she never said she was good at it. I feel bad that she still feels compelled to cook. Her [syndicated] talk show is doing well, and she does that well. I don't watch, but I don't run screaming from the room."

SANDRA LEE
"There was an incident with Sandra Lee when I ran into her [after criticizing her publicly]. It was deeply terrible. Don't mess with her. I rarely feel uncomfortable, but she has a powerful force. I hate her works on this planet, but she is not someone to be dismissed, clearly."

love this guy
 
i like bourdain, always find something interesting/informative in his shows. but i'm not sure why he feels compelled to take constant cracks at some of the food network folks. it comes across either as sour grapes because of his falling out there or he's knocking them to increase his visibility with the quotes. it ain't paula deen's cooking that kills people, it's their own ignorance and gluttony. if he doesn't like some of those people, fine, but to spend so much time taking shots at them reminds me of a politician slinging mud instead of talking about their own accomplishments.

in the end, bourdain and all of the folks he's critical of owe a lot of their success to the groundwork that people like julia child, graham kerr and justin wilson laid back in the 60s-70s, as well as emeril lagasse in the 90s.
