Tony Bourdain tears them a new one

[dduane]

As only he can.

For an organization that exists (purportedly) to "honor" the craft and profession of cooking, the Beard Foundation continues to send a message of continued cluelessness and disregard.  With their most recent startegic masterstroke, they have, yet again, sent the message, "We like famous chefs just fine--especially if we're handing 'em the Cuisinart/Vulcan/Fiji Water Humanitarian Award--but who are these nasty 'cook' creatures we keep hearing rumors of?" 

And so much more, expressed in the splendid patented BourdainRudeSpeak. Go Tony!!
