We can thank, or villify, Bourdain for taking the 'back of the house'
out of the closet and bringing it into the light of day.
People had no idea what really went on in restaurant kitchens till his
book came out.
Whether the revelations were a good or a bad thing depends on which
side of the kitchen doors you are on.

I do like the man though. He's grown on me over the years.

I'm with you on this. He does grow on you. And, the biggest thing that
impresses is the fact he admits he has warts and skeletons in his closet and
makes no denials or excuses, he is what he is.

I just read a blog posting on one of his latest rants. He's trying to
convince his young child the 'evils' of fast food. Hilarious.

The guy's long winded. A word non-smith. He could say what he wants
to say using 1/10th of the number of words he used. If that.

They didn't? How about _Down and Out in Paris and London_ by George
Orwell, or Ludwig Bemelmans's stories, later collected in _Hotel
Bemelmans_ and _La Bonne Table_?

Well, there's a difference in a "tell all" and fiction. I think
most people didn't see Orwell or Bemelman as reality.

No real story. Just that McDonald was my maiden name, so until 6/11/1983 I
was Ginny McDonald. (smile). Although I did prove that the McDonald's in
Quakertown, PA was, up until recently, run by flaming morons.

I was cleaning out my old papers, id cards, and junk from my dresser and
found my old college ID. As a lark, I popped it in my purse to show a few
friends. On the way back home, my kids wanted to stop at McDonald's, so we
did. On a dare from FBS, I asked for the 'family' discount. The attendant
looked at me funny and I said, 'yeah, I'm a McDonald, Ronald's my cousin
(and yes, I actually DO have a cousin named Ronald - predates the clown)'
and I whipped out the old ID. She looked at it, called over the manager,
who looked at it, said nothing, went and got on the phone with his regional
manager. He came back and said, and I quote, "we normally don't have this
happen, but we're authorized to give you a 10% discount today". I almost
laughed and it was hard to keep a straight face..we took our food (minus the
10% discount) out to the car where I nearly wet myself laughing......The sad
part is, McDonald's has been owned by Ray Kroc's family since 1957...not a
McDonald in the bunch!
