Chef Anthony Bourdain occasionally guest posts at the blog of author Michael Ruhlman (the guy who spent a year shadowing students at the CIA and wrote about it in the popular book The Making of A Chef).
Today he's got quite a rant going about the execrable "Food Network Awards" that aired last night. I didn't watch them (I was actually too busy cooking all evening to watch TV), but it doesn't sound like I missed much.
Bourdain is generally very critical of the Food Network, but maybe he really has pinpointed the beginning of the end for what used to be a really great cable network.
The Food Network has been going along a path where you could easily cite it as "Another Reason Why Western Civilization is Doomed!" More about ingredients, technique, cuisine and culture, please, and less food porn, thank you. And way, way less Sandra Lee, Paula Deen, and Rachel Ray, especially.
