Anthony Bordain:Street Smart Chef

It’s late past midnight. But I will sleep well tonight, thanks to Bordain. In the past few years, guilt lingered through my soul each and every time I tasted foie gras. Whether at Gary Danko or Ritz Carlton Dining Room, I had to have the treasured delight. The buttery texture amplified by a sharp nutty note best describes the goose pate. Stumbling upon the foie gras video, I rest at ease knowing that the goose was not harmed just to please my insatiable palate. The video is not only entertaining but confirms the many reasons Bordain has a cult following. Aside from writing Kitchen Confidential, this brash host has gifted many food viewers a rare treat into tasting food as an adventurous daring journey. Sure, he fluently blends humor along with cultural back stories. But he sets himself from other food show with his down to earth and in your face blunt narrative. As somewhat intelligent beings, we can see through the marketing fluff on most packaged goods. A few minutes ago, I just ate Cheetos White Cheddar. On the top left corner, advertised “limited time only.” Coming from the marketing world, this is just bull crap.

If the food chefs were all on a race track, I would bet on Bordain to have one of the most highly rated shows. Like notes in a hip hop song, his narration is fast and unpredictable. In the rhetorical world, ladies often ask “do I look fat in this dress?” For once, I can imagine a food show host that would set aside all surface level chatter and say “yes, you do look fat in that dress. Now lets go fill out that dress even more with some chicken curry.” With his skunk colored hair, chopsticks in his right hand while puffing a cigarette in his left, Bordain can be considered one of the pure upstaged food show host I have seen thus far. So rarely, can an entertainer draw the audience and mystify them in a food horror show. Sure, he has eaten cow testicles and fetal duck eggs, but viewers have been introduced to the true ethnic cuisines of the world. My take is that the American palate is very Kosher and safe. Hot dogs and hamburgers make up the meat of the industry. If you have been looking for Bordain, look no further. He left the Food Food Network and now has his own show on the Travel Channel keeping most creative control.

Consultanat hat.
Behind the initiative of every food show, are ratings. High ratings result in the networks ability to demand more money from advertisers. Bourdain has a cult following because he is authentic and says anything on his mind without caution. He sings the perfect note for a niche group of people who sickly enjoy the adventure of devouring unique finds from testicles to frog sashimi. This feat itself has created a sensational word of mouth advertisement for Bourdain as the chef that eat grotesque delights. His weakness surely is that he does not teach you how to cook since no recipe is revealed. Instead, sit back and relax. Enjoy a world mystified by foreign delights.
