I swear, the women who watch these damn cooking shows are going to be the death of me. If I'm not suffering through some horribly prepared dish that some dopey broad saw on TV, I'm forced to pretend that Rachel Ray is somehow more attractive than the average bar lady desperately looking for a way to be unique.
By the way scumbags, THERE IS NOTHING GOURMET ABOUT "SLIDERS," THEY ARE JUST SMALL HAMBURGERS AND CHARING MORE THAN $10 FOR THREE JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE SERVED AT A PLACE WITH TRENDY FURNITURE SHOULD BE PUNISHABLE BY DEATH!!!
In any event, at first I was excited that Anthony Bourdain was coming to town . . . Of all the chefs I've been forced to watch, he seems like the least likely to be a douchebag.
However, upon seeing the invite for his appearance . . . I now realize that eating anything but middle of the road food at B-list chain restaurants is just about as good as it'll ever get for me . . .
Spend an evening at The Midland with prominent chef, author and TV personality Anthony Bourdain as he shares stories of his exotic culinary adventures. Select tickets include a private reception with Anthony Bourdain at the Bristol Seafood Grill in the Kansas City Power & Light District.This part of the info made me cough up just a bit of the nasty Taco Bell I enjoyed this evening: "Presentation & Private Reception $125"
Yeah, that's far too rich for me, kind of like those new ice cream shakes at Wendy's that seem like a bad idea to combine with the heart stopping (literally) BACONATOR . . . Anyhoo, for those of you who can afford this kind of nonsense . . . Choke on it.
Hat tip on the first find for this link to a a great local blog I recently stumbled upon with a simple yet clever name: Technology & Pop Culture
Thanks Ace, just bought my ticket.
ReplyDeleteEat me Tony.
ReplyDeleteA bit pricey for me. Now if Andrew Zimmerman were coming to town - that I could see spending the $$ on. I wonder if he's brave enough to eat the Baconator.
ReplyDeleteEither in his book Kitchen Confidential, or on No Reservations, he had some pretty unsavory things to say about food in the mid-west... specifically, the KC catch of the day, BBQ. I like his show, and really hope he sticks to his guns if someone asks him if he's ever had burnt ends. If he fawns all over KC 'Q, then ask for your money back, because he's riding the corporate cock all the way to the bank.
