Anthony Bourdain On Rude Traveling Vegetarians

61st Annual Creative Arts Emmy Awards

Anthony Bourdain, celebrity chef, foe of vegetarians and overall smart-ass commented that he’ll eat just about anything except pets.

“I have strong convictions about what’s fluffy and what’s food,” Bourdain said, in the Cape Cod Times.

So Fido, Pixie and Max are off the menu.

And according to Bourdain, vegetarian food should be too if you don’t want to offend your meat eating guests.

“It’s just not polite to be a vegetarian when you travel,” the No Reservations star added.

Since Anthony travels across continents for his culinary adventures, one has to wonder if his rule of etiquette applies to domestic adventures too.

Does he expect vegetarians to shut up and eat the turkey after coming all the way from over the river and through the woods to grandma’s house?

If so, better hope the reindeer takes care of her before you’re halfway there.

Not that you don’t love your grandma.

Anthony describes his worst food experience as eating the “poop chute of a wart hog” while in Kalahari.

Guess he figures sometimes it’s better to be anal.

    He’s a a dolt. We should all just wait until the world is completely shrouded in smoke??and the rivers are completely clogged with cow sewage to change the factory farming habits? what a fool! . It is time to stop being polite. And stop eating meat! Cruelty is much less polite, Anthony, Wake up!

    I agree that factory farming is bad, but I’d rather eat meat and feel healthier than remove it from my diet and be sick all the time and become overweight.
