Anthony Bourdain hates vegans and most of us just find him to be a pompous ass. Wow Anthony Bourdain, you're such a badass, you cook fancy pantsy food for a living and host a show on the travel channel. If that doesn't say "rebel", I don't know what does. But seriously, here's his infamous comment on veganism:
"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 (Kitchen Confidential p.70)."
I believe that says it all....well, basically it's saying he's a narrow minded sadist, but maybe that's just my opinion.
Anyways, the point of this post is to bring your attention to the best new vegan blog, Hezbollah Tofu (http://hezbollahtofu.blogspot.com/). It's mission is to veganize Anthony Bourdain's recipes and show him that vegans aren't a bunch of starving twig eaters. You should definitely submit a veganized recipe...I'm going to get one of his cookbooks from the library and veganize some freakin recipes.....I might also draw a Hitler mustache on his picture...
