I still like the guy and occasionally watch his programs, and have read all his books(even fiction).
But I lost a lot of respect for him doing "The Taste".
What a giant pile of steaming crap.
Sellout.
What, life isn't good enough with your job?
You don't make enough $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
??????????
?????????
You will definitely rot and burn in hell for this TV show.
Obviously you don't understand how I feel. K.C. was an inspiration to me and changed the way I felt about my career. So yeah I can call him a big sellout.
Have you seen The Taste? It embodies all that is wrong with food and TV. So for one of my "heroes" to be a part of something so awful......
Also don't ever put Bourdain and RayRay in the same category.
And NO I would not take part in such a show, but thanks for implying that I have no integrity and would.
K.C. is not a person, it's Kitchen Confidential.
RayRay started as a TV cook, not a chef as Tony did.
He is a sellout for The Taste, not because it failed, but because the concept was crap to begin with. If you've read any of his books, you might go so far as to call him a hypocrite.
What have I done lately?
I've been cooking for a living for about 23 years. I recently quit my very well-paying salaried job to go make less than half of my current wage. I am making food I love again. I am learning again, and I get to see my family now. Life's not all about money.
Thanks for being a dick.
What have you done lately?
Besides piss me off..........
I've read all of his books, and seen all of his shows that aren't cooking competitions (because I couldn't give a **** less). Let the man make some money.
In a nutshell, yes.So, I'm being a dick for calling you and your opinion out?
Oh ya in a few books he just lambasts "Celebrity Chefs" all the time. When I was seeing him on a show as a Judge. I thought hypocrite myself.
it is what it is. entertainment. if youre okay with that then more power to you, enjoy his shows . It kind of bothers me when people confuse bourdain with someone who may actually be an important culinary figure though. which he isnt by a longshot.
In a nutshell, yes.
Really?So, I'm being a dick for calling you and your opinion out?
Wow....really thin skin. I apologize if you think it's somehow personal.
It IS entertainment and I don't actually think there are all that many who think he is an important culinary figure. No one with much gray matter at least.
To Gawd man! Have you watched ANY one of these shows in which the judge WEREN'T hypocrites. Get real. They're ALL phoney, choreographed...yet entertaining. I've watched all of them on youtube, and they all border on the ridiculous. Ever watch that arrogant idiot Gordon Ramsay? It's called...show-business...hello.
