Forget Paula Dean; when it comes to on-air celebrity chefs, no one makes my stomach go pitter-patter more than Chef Anthony Bourdain. He is absolutely fearless.
I don't know Ayesha Curry.
Emeril Lagasse is one of my great friends.
Anthony Bourdain was the one who hooked me on Laos.
In case you're wondering why Guy Fieri is here, he won a contest.
Guy Fieri's hair is the front lawn to hell.
I'm not Andrew Zimmern, who is like a superhero to me. I'm not Anthony Bourdain, who was a superhero to me.
Don't try to be the next Rachael Ray or Bobby Flay, we already have those people. We want someone who is going to make their own mark on 'Food Network.'
I look at Guy Fieri and I just think, 'Jesus, I'm glad that's not me.'
