Well, then you should know this tidbit made my effing day. Anthony Bourdain, acid-tongued chef-turned-author/TV personality and Paula Deen, the self-imposed Queen of Down Home Cooking are having at it tooth and nail as we speak. And let me tell you -- this volley is worth every single sinfully delicious calorie:
Sniped Bourdain to TV Guide: "(She is) the worst, most dangerous person to America. She revels in unholy connections with evil corporations, and she's proud of the fact that her food is f---ing bad for you. 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."
Deen's not going down without a fight. The mayonnaise-loving, down-home cooking Georgia peach responded with an angry statement to Page Six, telling the column: "Anthony Bourdain needs to get a life. You don't have to like my food.... 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 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." She adds, "I have no idea what Anthony has done to contribute besides being irritable."
Humbled but unapologetic, Bourdain tweets: "Resolved: Next time I'm asked (for the millionth time) who the worst cooks on Food Network are, I'll just shut up. Who cares?" [yahoo/omg]
Someone hand me a Mint Julip already, 'cause goodness gracious, I've got the vapors.
