Paula or Tony?

New posts
I know many folks think Paula is the greatest. She is not a trained chef, she's a cook . I got so tired of watching her taste food with a spoon from the pot and putting the spoon back in the pot. Just can't watch her.

I hear ya. I'm kinda middle of the road where she's concerned. I used to like her more, but now....eh. I do however, still use some of her recipes and they are always a hit. She does not have the same effect on me that she does Tony evidently.
 
Just watched DD's trailer on here and have to say that I was getting a little tired of Paula Deen - until I saw this. I have always loved Anthony Bourdain and No Reservations is a great book but I have new respect for Paula. She was very gracious in her interview and offered to cook for him? My admiration of her is renewed and I am going to start watching her when I can for support. This has made me realize the best thing about her - she has never claimed to be anything other than what she is! By the way Nigella Lawson is wonderful and I cannot stand "food snobs".
 
Tony is an a$$ and I love him. How wonderful to listen to someone who can think, write, and speak well. Oh, and he knows food and wine. And then you throw in a bit of cultural awareness.
I write, I majored in Anthropology, I married a chef, so maybe I am bias but the food network people I detest include the ones Tony takes on AND Bobby Flay!
 
Yeah, bmr, I love Tony too--for all the reasons you listed. And, I cannot STAND BF!!!
 
I'll take southern recipes and down to earth charisma any day over a "worldly" know it all and maybe done it all!
 
Bourdain is a bully and a blow hard--kinda like the food version of Bill O'Reilly.
