Below, please find a blog poll inspired by the discussion at Garden Rant following a post about the movie Food Fight.
Garden blogger and film critic Susan Harris said, "The only nit-pick my friends and I had? Wishing the movie had included some restaurants outside of California, and less of Alice Waters..."
Then, blog commenter and Food Fight filmmaker Chris Taylor responded, "[T]he note about Alice upsetting Anthony Bourdain[...] I have no sympathy for someone like Bourdain who is long on attitude (smoking cigarettes between meals on his food show) and very short on intelligence."
So, I want to know...
I vote for Slow Food Nation.
ReplyDeleteI have no problem with either of them. I like Bourdain. There are lots of people on the Food network much much worse than either of them.
ReplyDeleteI voted for Alice Waters, despite all the good she has done. She just annoys. I don't know enough about what Bourdain has said specifically about food policy, but I love his show.
ReplyDelete(And he has stopped smoking and plumped up.)
I voted for Alice Waters, mostly because I recently read a biography of her; my impression was that the author thought she was a bit flaky and prone to taking credit for the work of others. I think Anthony Bourdain is interesting, if a bit obnoxious.
ReplyDeleteBourdain gave up smoking over a year ago after his wife had a baby. He's a pretty honest guy & not a bad writer at all, BTW. I like his show too.
