I have a question about chef Anthony Bourdain and his show on the Travel Channel. Can you help?!
Answers: My husband and I recently started watching his show and he refers to his two years with the Food Network quite a lot, but not in a nice way. I don't remember him on Food Network. What show did he have, if any? Also, he makes fun of Rachael Ray a lot, too. Anyone know the story behind that, or is he just making fun of her not so good cooking? One time he found out she only tips 10% from a waitress at a restaurant he dined at shortly after she did. Thanks!
Tony is very outspoken and his show on the FoodNetwork despite the one fellows opinion was very popular, he travelled around the world and tried food most people would not dare.
Most likely he has a bit of a beef with them at the FN and as Racheal Ray does her program out of NY City and his restauant is in lower Manhattan, word gets out from place to place about the artsy fartsy's and there dining tactics.
I was a chef and the grapevine is very extensive and can be vengeful, you would think with her money she would be a better tipper, I worked at place in Toronto that the celebritys haunted, and they usually spend $300-500 in one sitting, so 10% is not bad for a tip.
I have heard before she is a poor tipper for someone with such celebrity fame. I heard of this chef I think he traveled around the world and ate exotic food. One time he ate an iguana...I think he said he felt like jumping off a cliff it was so bad...
According to the website listed below, his show on the Food Network was called "A cook's tour".
His show in food network was not a great hit.
What he does now he does well because of the type person he is. He is mouthy and does not take into consideration what he says about others.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion but when it comes to public ridicule I don't appreciate it and it makes me tend to not want to watch the show.
