Kitchen Notes: Anthony Bourdain versus Nanny Government

(Coffee Pot Dictator, this one's for you.)

The CPD of Satan Coffee and I share a certain culinary interest: we're fans of Anthony Bourdain. Oh, sure, Bourdain's a foul-mouthed bad boy, but he's always honest and he always says what he thinks and means, so that alone has me delighted with him. MM wants courtesy, but even more, she demands honesty.

Reason has a great archived interview with the refreshingly rowdy chef/adventurer. So take a look, and see what The Bourdain has to say about nanny government when it tries to interfere with food, beginning with attempts to ban foie gras in California.

Quote of the day: "Essentially, we're being infantilized by our government."

Bonus: The Bourdain declares his libertarian sentiments!
