Paula Deen to Anthony Bourdain: Get a Life!
Chefs are taking it to the streets! There’s a beef (get it!) going on between some of televisions most recognized food show hosts The meat and potatoes of the matter is that Anthony Bourdain said some not so nice words abut Rachel Ray, Guy Fieri, Sandra Lee, and Paula Deen to TV Guide. Paula fired back and basically told Anthony to stuff it and get a life:
About Paula, Bourdain said, “The worst, most dangerous person to America is clearly Paula Deen. She revels in unholy connections with evil corporations and she’s proud of the fact that her food is [****]ing bad for you… plus, her food sucks.”
To be fair, he did semi-apologize on Twitter for the comments, but that hasn’t stopped Paula from issuing an equally unflattering response about Anthony.
“Anthony Bourdain needs to get a life,” Paula told Page Six. “You don’t have to like my food—or Rachael’s, Sandra’s and Guy’s. But it’s another thing to attack our character.”
“My good friends Rachael, Guy and Sandra are the most generous charitable folks I know,” she said. “They give so much of their time and money to help food-deprived, sick children and abandoned animals. I have no idea what Anthony has done to contribute besides being irritable.”
And she had one more dig at Anthony.
“You know, not everybody can afford to pay $58 for prime rib or $650 for a bottle of wine,” Paula added. “My friends and I cook for regular families who worry about feeding their kids and paying the bills… It wasn’t that long ago that I was struggling to feed my family, too.”
