You've probably had it up to here with Anthony Bourdain....

I think it ironic that the anti-celebrity chef has become a celebrity chef for not cooking. I wonder what he thinks of it?

[Richard Atkinson]

Since I've never seen what he does in the kitchen, I can't really judge that facet of the man. We like his dry humor...and sarcastic commentary. It wouldn't work for everyone, but that style seems to for him.

Actually...when he first started the TV shows , he seemed extremely bitter. Lately, though, his commentary has lightened up enough to let you appreciate the wit behind the sarcasm.
