This article is pretty interesting, but the real payoff comes from a few funny mini-rants from bourdain, whose hatred for noobs is priceless. To wit, on ur-idiot Rachael Ray:
"Where the saintly Julia Child sought to raise expectations, to enlighten us, make us better — teach us — and in fact, did, [Rachael Ray] uses her strange and terrible powers to narcotize her public with her hypnotic mantra of Yummo and Evoo and Sammys. 'You're doing just fine. You don't even have to chop an onion — you can buy it already chopped. Aspire to nothing ... Just sit there. Have another Triscuit ... Sleep ... sleep ...'"
I remember one episode of Bourdain's No Reservations where he just finished a horseback ride and as they cut to a commercial he started stroking the horse's nose and making baby talk: "oh, you look just like Sarah Jessica Parker, don't you?" I laughed so hard I nearly fell off my treadmill.
