Like most vegan and vegetarian people who work in the food industry and/or consider themselves to be halfway decent cooks, I really hate Anthony Bourdain. For me, it's not a matter of OMG HE EATS THE MEATS, because...well, a lot of people do that, so it's not reason enough for me to be drinking Bourdain hater-ade. It's his constant assertions that all vegetarian food is inedible garbage, and that vegetarians don't know how to cook vegetables, no good meal can be made without six pounds of butter and a quart of beef broth, blah blah blah. I'm gonna say it and I'm gonna say it slow: if you're a supposed "professional" chef, and you can't figure out how to work around dietary restrictions (vegetarianism, wheat-free, whatever) and make creative substitutions and make your food taste good even when you're working with a limited culinary palette, you suck at your job and you shouldn't be owning a restaurant. Fuck, you shouldn't even be working the counter at a fast-food joint. I will say one thing for Tony: no one's ever compared me to Hezbollah before. It's kind of flattering. Perhaps one day I will decide to live up to that comparison, and he will see me running towards him with a block of tofu speared on the end of an AK-47.
Anyway, I giggled when I found this. Veganized Bourdain recipes! They actually look pretty good so far and I might give them a shot next time I have actual cooking time.
Also MUNICIPAL WASTE AND AT THE GATES ARE TOURING THIS SUMMER OMIGOD OMIGOD OMIGOD SQUEEK SQUEEK. Road trip, anyone?
