Anthony Bourdain Slams Rachael Ray
American celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain has hit out at rival Rachael Ray for endorsing a doughnut firm. No Reservations presenter Bourdain is outraged Ray has become the new face of Dunkin’ Donuts, likening the deal to selling hard drugs to kids.
He fumes, “She’s hugely influential, particularly with children. And she’s endorsing Dunkin’ Donuts. It’s like endorsing crack for kids. I’m not a very ethical guy (and) I don’t have a lot of principles, but, somehow, this seems to me over the line. Juvenile diabetes has exploded, half of Americans don’t have necks, and she’s up there saying, ‘Eat some f—ing Dunkin’ Donuts. You look great in that swimsuit - eat another doughnut! That’s evil.”

i agree! someone like her should not be endorsing such a shitty, artery clogging food! why on earth would she think that’s a good idea. it really kills her credibility.

She annoys the hell out of me…
October 19th, 2007 at 5:18 pm
I agree with him.

Bourdain is a god. He is absolutely correct. Of course, being right is easy when he’s blasting a chipper, fat-cheeked, idiot chipmunk.
October 19th, 2007 at 8:00 pm
he is 100% correct; she’s a fat pig and is encouraging others to be same.
October 20th, 2007 at 5:58 pm
SomeChick…you amaze me again! She is a fat pig? I ask again, seriously, what are you looking at? I are something else!

He’s a douchebag and is jealous because no one has asked him to endorse their products because it would be useless for him to, because no one knows who the hell the loser is! People aren’t overweight because of donuts, they’re overwight because they lack discipline and don’t get up off their lazy asses. Self control people, not donuts. In fact, think I’ll head to Dunkin for an iced latte and a low carb bagel, after all, America Runs on Dunkin, and like Rachel, I’m a proud American! And if I remember correctly, in America we are free to endorse whomever we wish. And all of you reading would endorse donuts for a few million dollars, and you know it so stop hating. Should we slam Carey Hart also, since he is in a Dunkin commercial? Get serious, and go eff yourself Anthony Bourwhatever.

I agree with toni g. And Racael Ray is not freaking fat. Give me a break.

i agree with anthony bourdain. whether or not it is the person’s own fault that they are obese and not the existance of donuts, it is stil unethical of her to encourage people to eat unhealthy foods. she is a food “expert” to many, and her advocacy of fast food donuts will only have a negative effect. truly: doesn’t she have enough money yet? she has to be a multi multi multi millionaire by now. for her to take endorsements from such a crappy food company is pure unadulterated greed.

You all are commenting on which you know nothing about. Rachel is a businesswoman and a good one apparently because everyone (Dunkin, TV, magazines) seems to be courting her. Don’t you suppose she did her homework prior to signing a contract? Maybe she believes in the product. Dunkin is not shitty, crappy or artery clogging. Their products are made with no trans fats and they offer plenty of healthy and low carb choices for those who care to make them. And it is not fast food, Dunkin bakes their products fresh every night to sale the next day, with no preservatives added to maintain shelf life. Mereum, I’ve never observed Rachel claiming to be a food “expert”, have you? Her program is called “30 minute meals,” not “super duper healthy meals.” I say great for you Rachel. I would endorse such a great company too.

It is pretty awful, to promote junk food.
December 10th, 2007 at 6:53 pm
She is loud, annoying, i rather hear the sound of nails scratching a blackboard then her voice. she looks like a OVER STUFFED tamale in her clothes. What she really needs to do is STOP doing that $40 aday show on Foodnetwork where she goes from place to place SHOVING Food down her throat.. DeeeeLishhhhhhhh..OINK…OINK..OINK

Give me a break!!FAT!!?? I suppose so, if she being measured by the ONLY standard you see on TV, when it comes to women,…. rib-protruding, size-zero wafes. I’m so chafed by every moron that decides that someone HER size is fat. JUST because she is a women on television, that WOULD be the first thing to be scrutinized. When is the last time you saw someone commenting on Emeral’s fat ass!!

Rachel rae is chunky and if she’s not careful she will balloon…you can see it already going that way…she wears tight clothes that are stretching at the seams and in 3 yrs will be a no neck block of flesh
December 24th, 2007 at 12:02 am
And yes, Emeril is fat too…many chefs are…too much oil, too many rich ingredients and not enough exercise
December 24th, 2007 at 12:07 am
And yes, Emeril is a fatso. No argument there. Many Chefs are, they use too many rich ingredients and only care about the “taste” of food. Of course being a lazy sedentary pig doesn’t help either
December 26th, 2007 at 2:01 pm
To all of the peole who’s on here claiming rachel Rae is not fat should go check their eyes AS SOON AS POSSIBLE since ALL of CAN’T notice the ROLLS OF FAT on HER that can be seen easily on the Ritz cracker commercial. WELL, If she’s not AT PIG then she should fire her stylist A.S.A.P because if she isn’t fat then her clothes are making her look like a FAT PIG with Rolls of FAT on her, and also get a new make-up artist to do her face so it hides her balloning face.

R.R. has a big face , which is a trait of MOST anyone that is successful on the screen. Again..only an idiot would misconstrue a large head for a fat face. And love handles maybe..but FAT ROLES??? What a moron!!

Um, to whoever stated Dunkin Donuts is not fast food, you’re mistaken. Go to their website and read the nutritional information. This food is GARBAGE. You can’t look only at the nutritional information; the ingredients are AWFUL.

Haha. Someone made a comment about Anthony Bourdain being a loser .. for not whoring himself out for a mainstream franchise. Pffft. Give me break whoeverthefuckYOUare. Is Ronald McDonald your idol? Do you have pictures of Colonel Sanders in your wallet? Probably not. If you were a chef do you think you would? Defintely not. Rachel Ray is a fucking JOKE and I’ve been turning the channel ever since she was on the local news station here where she had this gay little 2 minute segment. I’ve been hearing her insipid caterwauling for far too long. Do I think she’s fat? Not particularly. But then again, I don’t usually keep her onscreen long enough to make a pie chart of her weight gain.
IF you were a chef like Bourdain who loved food and cooking and everything about it, regardless of how talented you may or may not be wouldn’t you then PROBABLY turn your nose up at some interloper wannabe who throws some nachos in a tuna casserole makes up some cutesy little foo-foo words and then practically wins the Nobel Peace Prize for it? Something tells me you might.
Seriously. She could sprinkle cheese on a piece of shit and claim it DE-LISH. WTF is THAT?
Anthony is more open minded about food than a lot of people. He ate penis soup in asia. Rachel Ray eats a lot of dick too.. just not in soup form.
August 7th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
cause Raytard rae eats alot of dick(just not in soup form)..how do u think she got her show? her voice? NO! her face? NO again ! her fat ass? well maybe if the guys are CHUBBY CHASERS and likes FAT ANNOYING PIGS..
BTW..how do u F*** raytard rae? u roll her in flour and F*** the wet spots
