Anthony Bourdain on Rachael Ray


Anthony Bourdain is self described "old-school French Chef". He has a show, on the Travel Channel, where he eats all kinds of strange things from all over the world.

In this week's Time magazine he was asked "Why do you always pick on Rachael Ray?"

He said "She can take it. She's incredibly powerful and far more loved than I am. But she genuinely offends me. Julia Child, for example, raised people's expectations of food. When Rachael tells you that it's perfectly okay to buy a pre-chopped onion from the supermarket... I mean, how hard is it to chop an onion? The takeaway is, I could cook, but [instead] I'll finish this bag of Cheetos and that gallon of Diet Pepsi before dying of diabetes."
