Bourdain Speaks: The Food Network

God love him. Anthony Bourdain shows up as a guest post-er on Michael Ruhlman's blog, and gives a couple right hooks to the jaws of the Food Network chefs. I especially love his commentary on Sandra Lee, with delectable little morsels like, "I would likely be arrested if I suggested on television that any children watching should promptly go to a wooded area with a gun and harm themselves. What’s the difference between that and Sandra suggesting we fill our mouths with Ritz Crackers, jam a can of Cheez Wiz in after and press hard? None that I can see."

As an aside, did you hear? Bourdain is gonna be a daddy. And his commentary on what his kid might be like is also hi-fucking-larious.

Cheddarvision!

The West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers claim to have a live webcam aimed at an aging round of cheddar. You, too, can watch the mold grow! But is it just me - or does that cheddarlicious onscreen image look more like a still photo than a live shot? (Um, yeah, I know aging cheese doesn't move much, but the light looks wrong, and that tag looks funny ...) Nonetheless, a nice bit of pointless, er, entertainment?
