Bourdain Not Just a Food Snob

Because he’s been endorsed as one of your favorites, we’re putting in an effort here at ES to follow the life of Mr. Anthony Bourdain at least 1/10 as closely as we follow the magical adventures of Ms. Lakshmi.

T-bo has an unexpected essay in this week’s SPIN, in which he reminisces about being a 70’s punk rock chef (that’s him on the left). Not surprisingly, Tony has strong feelings about music as well as food, and also not surprisingly, most of those feelings are negative.

Among the acts on Bourdain’s shit list are Jethro Tull, the Sex Pistols (who he compares to N’Sync) and (try to control yourself, star ES contributor), Liza.
