Todd defends the honor of Paula Deen — the Queen of Southern Cooking — in his daily Fox News & Commentary. Following is a transcript:
Anthony Bourdain is a food snob. And he also hates Paula Deen. Just after the Queen of Southern Cooking announced she has type two diabetes, Mr. Bourdain took to twitter calling her a diabetic scam artist – is how TMZ.com summed up his attack.
What food snobs like Mr. Bourdain seem to overlook is that Miss Paula always tells folks to eat that kind of food in moderation.
Something Mr. Bourdain ought to consider the next time he’s at a bar. But it’s not the first time he’s gone after Miss Paula.
He once called her the most dangerous woman in America used filthy language to describe her chicken and biscuits.
I’m surprised her husband hasn’t taken a cast iron skillet to Mr. Bourdain, but the Deen’s are well-mannered southern folks.
As for Mr. Bourdain what can you say about a guy who once ate the unwashed rectum of a warthog.
And bourdain smokes like a chimney. He's a bully and a jerk. I've never thought of him as a class act, and will, definitely, not be watching any of his television shows.
After reading down the comments – trying to bring back to point about Mr Bourdain's comments..not debate about whether Ms. Deen's cooking has had an effect on the nations obesity…I am in agreement with your comment. I also think its a case of calling the kettle black with his open smoking a Drinking – we could start naming a laundry list of diseases he is potentially bringing onto himself and the others in his smoke cloud.
Wait a min.. Actually Anthony Bourdain is right on topic. Deen has faced extensive criticism for the high amounts of fat, salt, and sugar in her recipes. The woman was diagnosed with type two diabetes. Yet she still sells her Lunch-Box Set, a cookbook aimed at children, that tells kids to have cheesecake for breakfast. Tells them to have chocolate cake and meatloaf for lunch. And french fries. Anthony Bourdain commented in 2011 that he "would think twice before telling an already obese nation that it's OK to eat food that is killing us." Yet she tells children it is ok! She continues to market high fat, high sodium diets – and only discusses her diabetes with it benefits her in representing the diabetes drug company that she is a spokeswoman for! Deen is a paid spokesperson for the Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk! But never mind that, right? She has a common disease that is due to the foods she cooks and markets. When your signature dish is hamburger in between a doughnut, and you've been cheerfully selling this stuff knowing all along that you've got Type 2 Diabetes… its being hypocritical. Her food is bad for you – plain and simple. The fact that she got sick from it kinda proves it.
……and bourdain smoking like a chimney is being a great role model? The guy is a judgmental hypocrite. Following your logic: His smoking is bad for you-plain and simple. When he is diagnosed with lung cancer, it will kinda prove it.
Excuse me, but there are many people on this earth that have never eaten any of what Paula Deen cooks and have Diabetes. There's a lot more to the disease then just diet. If a diabetic is controlling their nutrition, it doesn't mean that they cannot stary occaisionally from their diet. Moderation in anything you eat is recommended. Ten years from now we'll be heaing about how our healthy diets today are causing other dietary issues. I have watched Anthony Bourdains "No Reservations" series and he has eaten many things that would not be recommended in a child's diet let alone an adults.
You can't blame Paula Deen for America's weight problem! She's not holding a gun on people making them stuff their faces! (Guns – another topic for another day!) But maybe Paula could do to Southern food what Graham Kerr (The Galloping Gourmet) did for gourmet food. He cooked high-fat & high calorie dishes on his TV show until his wife, Treena, had a heart attack. They completely changed their cooking/eating lifestyle. Now he cooks the same gourmet dishes that still taste great but have lower fat & calories. Paula can cook Southern dishes that are more healthy but still taste delicious! If anyone can do it, it would be Paula Deen!
she could… but she DOESN'T. She markets her garbage to CHILDREN! The fact that she was diagnosed with diabetes only proves she is unhealthy and her cooking is unhealthy!
Actually, Paula's son Bobby is doing just that! Bobby has a new show on the Cooking Channel that is called, "Not My Mama's Meals" in which he takes her normal recipes and cuts down the fat and/or sugar content. I've already looked at some of his modified recipes and they look delicious!! I have been cooking Paula Deen's recipes for quite some time, modifying them myself, here and there, and not using the really rich ones very often. Contrary to popular belief, she does not fry everything! LOL
I have used only butter, coconut oil, & extra virgin olive oil in my cooking and baking for many years now. No one in my family is obese or has any type of diabetes. Of course, our families are not pre-disposed for diabetes, which Paula's might be. We also eat our food in moderation, so we can enjoy it!
Jean Rothenberger Mowery — I have to modify my recipes because the chemo I had in '99 damaged my heart, so it's low sodium & low fat for me. I'm also overweight and that is also due to the chemo. Type 2 diabetes runs in my family as well but I don't have it. I eat healthy but being born & raised in Arkansas, I sure do miss my Southern comfort food! I'll have to check out Bobby Deen's recipes! Thanks!
Rennie Ellen Wright Auiler –I am so glad you are a survivor!! Are you using sea salt, if not, check out its virtues. Also, i use Trader Joe's Extra Virgin Olive Oil(not the premium, the less expensive one) in all of my baked goods that call for oil and no one has ever know the difference. It does not have a strong olive taste and is light in color, so it won't alter the flavor or look of a baked good. I understand as i've had heart issues since i was about 11, so i try to eat as healthy as i can, but do indulge occasionally in a rich dish…i just don't eat much of it. I savor & enjoy it. ^_^
Jean Rothenberger Mowery — No, I don't use sea salt. My cardiologist said it's STILL salt & I can't have it. So I use salt-free seasonings instead. I've always eaten healthy & my cholesterol levels are perfect. But because of the cardiomyopathy, high fat & salt are a no-no. Once in a long while I do eat at Cracker Barrel but I'm good the rest of the time! I'm a 13 year non-hodgkins lymphoma survivor.
Paula Deen is an awesome southern cook! Type 2 diabetes is a common disease that affects many older people and is generally caused by excess weight, however, it is most likely a genetic condition otherwise. Her cooking doesn`t cause diseases, excessive eating does. Especially a lot of sugar. Paula has always advocated moderation. Most of this Nations weight problems are due to parents feeding their kids fast food and pre-packaged garbage. Back in the day when Mothers cooked like Paula Deen at home obesity was uncommon and so was diabetes. So Mr Bourdain is an idiot!
lmfao! are you serious? You talk about mothers cooking like that back in the day… and now their kids have diabetes! no, sry, my mother never told me it was ok to eat cheese cake for breakfast like Dean says in her Lunch-Box cookbooks for children! And my mothers signature dishes never included hamburger in donuts. How can she advocate moderation when she herself does not practice moderation?! Her meals always include HIGH amounts of fat, salt, and sugar – same as all that fast food and pre-packaged garbage.
James Lott ~Then don`t eat it! Are Americans a bunch of lemmings? We can choose… Personally I would never eat a hamburger inside donuts either but you can take or leave her individual recipes. One can also alter them to suit their tastes or medical needs. To blame Paula on our health problems is non-sense!
Gregg Todd Gregg – That is the problem. Americans dont know HOW to choose anymore! Most Americans dont have the sense! The fact that she sells and advocates such an unhealthy lifestyle and people like you just back her up does not make what she is doing ok! She is still doing the wrong thing. She is wrong!
Gregg Todd, yes, Americans are a bunch of lemmings. At least in the heartland, they are. It's the state our country is in from lack of a broad education.
James Lott She has the right to do those things – she cannot be held responsible for what people do in their own homes. I'm interested to see if you can logically argue that Deen has somehow caused people to get fat or diabetes.
The problem with your thinking is that by assuming Americans don't know how to make decisions, you've instantly given them a handicap and an excuse for behaving badly. And yes, alot of our obesity DOES come from processed foods, but more so from inactivity.
Good job defending Miss Paula, Todd. I don't think the show host was in your camp, though. Just sayin'. Pauls Dean shows how to cook in the southern tradition. Yes, she should (and probably will henceforth) show how to make her recipes a little healthier with some substitutions, but people must understand that there's a certain risk. Whenever we see someone smoking in the movies, you don't have a disclaimer pop up that says this activity could kill you, and we certainly don't ban the movie or damn the actor for their use of tobacco. We have to use a certain amount of common sense. And personally, I use butter when I cook because I've seen what goes into margarine!
Tony Vanderwaal … I'm not talking about smoking in the theater … only ON THE SCREEN! When was the last time you saw something besides a "G" rated movie? There's still smoking in the movies.
What strikes me as odd is that so many people actually care what disease people might bring upon themselves. Live your own life. What diseases people might bring upon themselves through their habits are none of your business. If Bourdain wants to smoke three packs a day then so be it. If Paule Dean wants to suck down three hamburger and whipped cream donuts then so be it. And if they both keel over from lung cancer or a heart attack then so be it. It is not your business.
Cook what you damn well want Paula Dean, encourage all the people you want to stuff their face with it. If they choose to then fine, it is no one's business.
It is truly frightening how far away from the ideals of freedom and self-determination the people of this nation have fallen. All of this constant busy body nagging is sickening.
I recently watched the movie Julia and Julie. Julia Child I'm sure was a Democrat and cooked with heavy cream and butter, as learned at the Cordon Bleu chef's school. Her cook book is still available and her recipes are full of fat and calories. But none of the elite would dare to criticize her or her cooking. Total double standard, as usual.
People often add too much salt in their recipes without realizing it until it’s too late, but do not worry. There is a way to fix this! Add two peeled and chopped raw potatoes to the dish, and then allow it to simmer for around 15 minutes. The potatoes help absorb the extra salt. For a dish that is tomato-based, just put a few more tomatoes in and let them cook until they’re tender. These will dilute the extra salt.*.

You know what they say Mr. Starns… Ignorance is BLISS!
Paula Deen is the best! I always use her cookbooks.

You'd do well to look up the definition of hypocritical. It doesn't apply here at all.

nobody has been able to smoke in theatres for years… when was the last time you saw a movie.
Tony Vanderwaal … I'm not talking about smoking in the theater … only ON THE SCREEN! When was the last time you saw something besides a "G" rated movie? There's still smoking in the movies.
The lady eats to much and the gentlemen drinks to much – they should get married.
"I drink alone…..with nobody else…."
Whoa, the above video contains so much misinformation I lost count.
Besides being a binge drinker on his lame non-cooking show, he's also a smoker, so how's he going to taste his food?
