And the good news of the day is: one of my favorite food writers, Michael Ruhlman, finally got bad-boy chef Tony Bourdain to officially be a guest blogger on his food blog.
His first official guest-blogging post is not as accessible as his recent rant on the various Food TV celebrities; rather, he's weighing in on a recent spat between a NY restaurant owner and the NY Times food critic. Nevertheless, it's worth a read just for his choice of imagery:
Maybe I'm being cynical here but the Message seems to be: "Even a freakin' strip club--where you get lap dances offered between courses is better than your soulless, overpriced meat-emporium. I'd rather spend time in a hot tub with Bob Guiccione than you!" Subtext? "Don't Fuck With Me!"
Welcome to the blogosphere, Tony. Enjoy the ride.
