Today at 4:02AM The (not) Daily Quote- May 9th, 2008
Since I suggested people watch an episode of Anthony Bourdain's old show A Cook's Tour, I figured a quote I like from one of his books might be appropriate.
Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter faction, the vegans, are a persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn. To me, life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth living. Vegetarians are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit, and an affront to all I stand for, the pure enjoyment of food. The body, these waterheads imagine, is a temple that should not be polluted by animal protein. It's healthier, they insist, though every vegetarian waiter I've worked with is brought down by any rumor of a cold. Oh, I'll accommodate them, I'll rummage around for something to feed them, for a 'vegetarian plate', if called on to do so. Fourteen dollars for a few slices of grilled eggplant and zucchini suits my food cost fine.
-Anthony Bourdain (from his memoir, Kitchen Confidential)

Today at 3:45AM Cook's Tour- Japanese Culture and Food
Just thought I'd point this out for people who are interested in Japanese culture and food.
This Sunday (May 11th), at 3:30pm on Food Network they are repeating the 'Dinner with Geishas' episode of A Cook's Tour.
It is an excellent episode that shows different things from Japan from a great perspective, and I highly recommend everyone watch it.
You get some perspective of classical Japanese food at an onsen, some ever so fun vending machine food, and fugu/blowfish.
I really do recommend you guys watch it if you can.
