There was some weirdness that came out a few years ago about Bourdain paying off a guy who accused Asia Argento of sexually assaulting him when he was a kid. The whole thing was really very strange.

Burrell was accused of wage theft and of sexism at her restaurants. Guarnaschelli is apparently just a holy terror to deal with on the TV sets.

Brown: Former Southern Baptist evangelical rear end in a top hat, arrogant prick.

Bourdain: Arrogant prick, and ... ? I don't really recall too many knocks on him, outside of him thinking vegans were smug assholes who were in it for the attention, and frequently body-slamming other TV food personalities in his writing and on his shows.

There’s a lot to be said about how Kitchen Confidential influenced and bolstered the intense, high-strung, misogynistic environment that a lot of people think of as the hallmark of “good” restaurants, but Bourdain did apparently regret portraying all of that as cool later on in life . Not that he was the only one that showed it that way and not that that environment didn’t exist before him, but he was very clearly a poster boy for that lifestyle for quite a while.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

I have been super gassy today, just so you know, and I had a fart thought. If I was standing on a scale that could measure to say the 1,000th of a pound, and I farted. Would I weigh slightly more afterward? Like my gas was ever so slightly lifting me up?

Well you eject a gas which has a mass so technically that's a weight loss. Like a zillionth of a pound or something but hey

A nice healthy poo poo might lose you a few ounces tho

I'd say ripping one isn't an ideal option regardless of how it effects your weight, but no I doubt there's enough difference between the weight of your intestinal gas and just what's in the atmosphere to have any effect on what the scale reads

Didn't that used to be common for boxers? They'd feed them tons of laxatives so they'd poo poo their guts out before the weigh-in so they'd make the weight.

If you're a fighter cutting weight a laxative isn't doing anything for you, you don't have enough water in your system to produce anything by the time you've reached the day of weigh-ins. I guess that could have been the case prior to learning more about cutting though

"You're so good at baking / cooking" is the worst possible reason to open a restaurant or establishment, so bless you for being sane.

Given the failure rate of new dining joints even before COVID (I think it was around 80 percent close within a year), and the amount of money needed to open (easily in the six figures for build-out and equipment, licenses, inspections and about a hundred other things you never think to plan for), you're better off putting all your money into a burlap sack, dousing it in lighter fluid, setting it on fire, and tossing it into the nearest major body of water than you are opening your own café.

Yeah any time I've thought about elevating my cooking from a hobby to a career, it has been trying to think of something I could automate making well and freezing to sell in volume. Because fuuuuck ever working in a restaurant. To be fair that would combine my dual loves of cooking and scaling up/improving processes.

Yeah most of the time guys shouldn't or wouldn't have to resort to dumb hail Mary methods such as taking laxatives.

Its all sweating and fasting to make weight. Generally you load up on water in the lead up to your cut to get your body used to shedding it and then push hard to sweat out as much as you can.

There was a guy who resorted to trying enemas but it wasn't effective. They've also had guys try taking blood out as well. I wouldn't put it past someone to try it but no pro or coach would do it.

If you really need a grill or kitchenaid, then those are good ones. Just don't ask for something you'll use once a year. Do you need tools? Now that you own a house, you will definitely need a few tools.

8 a.m. - 3 p.m. - Some mix of South Park, The Office or The Cleveland Show

Yeah very fair answers. I think people like to buy "stuff" but we're practical people. We probably actually would use a Kitchenaid, but it feels like we'll need to know how the space in our kitchen will work before deciding to get one of those. Tools actually seem like the right answer. I have a bunch of stuff from living in a rental house but it's all fairly cheap. I hear a good drill and a good saw can be lifesavers.
