Cheflebrity Smörgåsbord: Welcome to Salmonella Theatre

The latest and greatest news about celebrity chefs, served up buffet style.

– A Japanese food show sends celebs to sketchy restaurants, braving serious infections for great food. I wonder if Gansie is re-thinking that half-cooked egg?

– Yes, I’m actually required to include every mention of Sam Talbot, especially when they use the word “photogenic.”

After the jump…Food Network isn’t trying to kill me, Gordo looses the respect of another chef and a date I’ve had circled on my calendar for a while.

Cheflebrity Smörgåsbord: Life is Tweet for Rick Bayless

The latest and greatest news about celebrity chefs, served up buffet style.

– Funny, but if I was Tweeting when I should be busy doing my job, I’d be fired, not profiled by the Associated Press. But then again I’m not Rick Bayless, and I’m not cooking for world leaders.

– All of a sudden, Rocco DiSpirito doesn’t seem like such a giant asshole! At least he hasn’t tried to hire a homeless guy to kill his wife.

After the jump…go to school without putting on your pants, meet someone who watches more food TV than me and find out why Paula Deen is going to kill your kids.
