You know, I love celeb chefs and cooking shows, "Top Chef" and "Iron Chef" and the like (haven't caught the Anderson Cooper "Iron Chef" episode yet though--I prefer episodes with judges who actually judge food for a living.) But just like actors, celebrity chefs think that just because they're talented in one sphere that they automatically have a worthwhile perspective on politics and world events. Take celeb chef Anthony Bourdain's appearance on the cable news show most resembling cleaning out your attic--dusty, boring, and mostly irrelevant to your everyday life, CNN's "Larry King Live." And unfortunately for LKL, "Extreme Mortman" noticed that Bourdain was on the show weighing in on the Middle East last night:
“Larry King Live” last night booked heretofore-unheard of celebrity chef Anthony Boudain, who lodged this heretofore-unheard complaint about the Middle East situtation:
KING: You’ve described, Tony Bourdain, the situation on the beach as like going to a Metallica concert gone horribly wrong. What do you mean?
BOURDAIN: Well, I have to say that the embassy side of the operation was uninspiring. It was — one would have expected better of any concert promoter or nightclub operator, even on short notice.
Clearly, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice not only needs to broker peace, she needs to foster more entertaining and musical humanitarian relief efforts.
