No Reservations?

 I have been a long time fan and avid watcher of Anthony Bourdain. There's something mesmerizing about him, something intriguing about his demeanor, the sheer smokiness of his voice pulls me in, every time. I used to watch show after show of his No Reservations, on TV. To say that he's a bad boy chef, in an understatement. He curses at every-other-word, smoke's like a chimney and drink's like a fish, to boot. Oh and lest I forget he oddly mentions, very freely, his day's of ol where he was a drug user.

 Now, he's taken to verbal assault's on Paula Deen. I'm pissed.
It's called cyber bullying and most people don't take it too lightly.

 I like Paula Deen. She remind's me of my grandma, and me, and that isn't all.
Like us she cook's good ol' southern food, from the heart. Often times her son's are with her, and even her grandson, her husband and other people she hold's dear to her heart, while she is taping her show's for Food Network. I like it. A lot.
I will be the first one to admit that lately, I have questioned the fact that she's cashing in on everything. Then, I get to thinking how I'd do the same damn thing, if I were her! Why is it so wrong? Don't we see every Kardashian on every magazine, website, TV channel, selling something? I know I do! Shoes, clothes, diet pills! You name it!

 So what if she waited 3 years to tell the world she has diabetes. What if she'd never told the world? How is it any different, now that you know she has it? And, the bigger question is, HOW IS IT ANYONE'S BUSINESS IF SHE DOES???????
I could care less, to be perfectly honest, and I will continue watching her show!
 Bourdain lost a true fan today, me. I know that he won't just miss the one fan but, ask yourself this: How many other's feel the same as I do? Hmph.
