If you can't stand the wank, get out of the kitchen.
Anthony Bourdain writes up a scathing indictment of the James Beard Awards. The comments start off mostly positive, with little to no wanking about Bourdain's observations on Latinos in the culinary world.

Until Jacqueline gets involved. Suddenly, everything is about sexism!

The sexism debate rages back and forth for a bit before Sorcha brings the smack down (and the funny).

But Suzy the Pastry Chef isn't done yet! First she whines, then she pulls out the good ol' "I did it for the LULZ!" excuse. No one believes her.

Almost immediately after that, Jenn/Tikka Masala arrives, her little heart bleeding for all the underprivileged souls of the world, not just the Latino male chefs. Sorcha fires back and Suzy makes a return appearance on Jenn's side. Sorcha finally throws in the towel, tired of dealing with "the lurkers support me in e-mail" Jenn and "go blow Bourdain" Suzy.

This is why you don't wank in the kitchen, people. You get splooge in all the food.

So a rant against the James Beard Awards, their crappy ceremony with reheated food and lack of attention to the group doing a lot of cooking in kitchens becomes Mr. Bourdain is a mysoginist who doesn't recognize the plight of the unfortunate everywhere? If only someone had mentioned Hitler it would be a prime trainwreck. Oh wait, I just did. Now it's complete.

I went to a Mexican restaurant here in Portland, Oregon this weekend, and I was walking out of the restaurant and one of my fellow patrons grabbed my arm and said, "Get me some more water."

I was a little confused, and blinked at 'em, which made my fellow patron snap, "Agua! More-o! Now!"

"Sir, there is no need for that tone," I told him.

At which point, before I could say anything else, the guy proceeded to threaten to call the manager and discussed my theoretical ancestry and sexual habits in profane detail.

I was pretty much so shocked at the stupid that I just shook my head and walked out. But of course, my kind of people don't EAT at restaurants, we just work there.

Moral of the story? Los gente son estupido. Let's poke them with sticks!

(And the food at the restaurant wasn't good, either. Ah, well.)


HOLY SHIT...

Wonder if there would be any danger of bleeding to death if you had three?

People coming north from Mexico and further South are not the only people in the world who have had it tough - THAT notion is what I'm disliking so very much. The notion that white people never ever ever have as much pain as other races - that's just inaccurate in so many ways.

You know, I once wondered whether a statement I'd seen several times- that in 99.99% of discussions about race, someone (white) will attempt to twist it around and say, "But what about the WHITE people?"- was true.

Now, I have no doubt that it is.

What I wanna know is: If Bourdain has been so insulted by my posts, why has he not stuck up for himself?

Um, because he doesn't give a fuck and I don't think he gets offended by people thinking he's an asshole? Seriously, does he ever REPLY to the comments on the blog? EVER? 'Cause I haven't seen it.

Sorry, am I using too much logic again? Hold on...ahem...

ZOMGS, TONI IS TEH GHEY AND TO STOOPID AND APHEARED TO STICK UP 2 A GURL!!!111!! WOMYN POWAAAA X INFINITY!!!!1!

I'm white (and female) so I MUST be living Elmer Fudd's lifestyle, with a mansion and a yacht that they issued me at birth.

I thought Elmer Fudd's lifestyle was shooting himself in the face due to Bugs Bunny holding up a U shaped pipe?

Upon further investigation, I find that the bulk of these lengthy and practically dripping love letters in Tony's defense are from WOMEN!

I just love the "us grrrlz gotta stick together!!1!!" argument, especially when the person expects other women to ignore her stupidity because they also have a vagina.


...and WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU SORCHA?

Your mama, judging by that spanking you received.

In a later comment, I question why the mexican guy she knows giving up on getting recognition for his work means that none of them should get any. That anecdote lost me.

Just because you're a (insert: woman, man, etc.) doesn't mean us other (insert: women, men, etc) must absolutely and mindlessly agree. Not to mention that lots of women make us females look like shit with their "OMG I R BITCH HEAR ME ROAR" entitlement.

One thing is being a strong woman and another is to be a whiny bitch.

So I toss in my two cents re: my pet peeve; Tony's TV quote: "I love Latino (men) way better than white boys..." or something like that (I mean, I'm no babe in the woods here. This is SF, and I am well aware that many white boys prefer Latino men, but I digress...)

Wow, Suzy. Way to make up shit just to prove some non-existent point. Can I schedule you for parties? I'm sure you'd be a hit among the lawyers in the room.

Aren't Jenn and Suzy clever?

In any group, ONE person you happen to know is the perfect representative of the desires of ALL people in the group. One Mexican chef doesn't want public recognition-- lo, no Latino chefs desire public recognition.

What exciting conclusions can I draw about the rest of the human race using myself as a representative sample? Stay tuned.

Sorcha was righteous with the smackdown. As she often is.

That Tikka/Jenn person is fawningly in love with Tony on the No Reservations (his show) message boards, or at least was until he did not, in fact, make it his life's work to answer every one of her inane fangirl posts. (Imagine that.) She seems awfully snippety with him on Ruhlman's blog, in contrast. Hell hath no fury, etc.

1.) The woman in question, Beth, refers to herself as the Grill Bitch. It does not in fact mean "I am the grill's bitch" it means "I am a bitch and I pwn the grill and everyone who comes the fuck near it kthnxgodie"

2.) Nice way to defend your sexism argument. "What, are you scared of a GIRL?" Thanks for undermining the whole fucking gender. Great way to make your argument, y'know, by denigrating your own gender and basically asserting that women are not in fact any kind of threat or equal. Wow. I really hope you are going for reverse psychology there.
