So I don’t really follow Paula Deen. Her food just isn’t my style and her show isn’t very entertaining to me. Although I know she has lots of fans. I do like Anthony Burdain. I’ve watched his Without Reservation show and read his books of kitchen honesty and irreverance to just about everyone. I enjoy watching him go to far away lands and eat with the natives. It’s not always healthy I’m sure. But I don’t make any of his recipes either.
So Paula Deen has just announced she has type 2 diabetes. This is unfortunate for her and millions of others. And yes, certainly her diet has a big impact on that. I suspect she’ll be switching out some ingredients and hopefully helping fans do the same. I’m not sure Anthony Bourdain needs to kick her when she’s down. But he does have a point….
Here’s more on the feud…
