RSS FeedI set Tony up with his own key to the blogging chamber and there he is, sneaking in already–I wouldn’t have posted so fast on his heels had I known. Don’t miss today’s post on the Chodorow embarrassment.

Welcome to Ruhlman.com where I write about food, cooking, recipes and technique, because the world is better when we cook for ourselves. Thanks for visiting — hope you’ll join the conversation.
Hey, if you gave him the key, you can’t complin when he uses it. If you didn’t want it, you wouldn’t have dressed that way. *G*
If this was any of my doing, I will shamefully accept the blame and hurled tomatoes.
(San Marzano romas, please.)
Too much attention altogether for a very minor squabble.
Man, you already let him destroy your bathroom and frighten your young children – the key to the secret blogging chamber should be nothing. And watch your liquor cabinet, in future (!)
Following Claudia’s note, it’s a good thing that you didn’t have LIT scented candles in your bathroom because you and your house may not have stood long enough for you to give Bourdain the key.
Judging from the responses on that post, I think the subject material may have been too focused for some people.
Note that when flaying alive the personages of Food Network, you are referring to a very broad spectrum audience. What’s the total viewership? Tens of millions? Hundreds? The circulation of the NY Times is less than two million. The same folks that watch TVFN regularly don’t give a large rodent’s sphincter abotu the NYT, ridiculously priced steakhouses, or self-style gastronomy experts.
Tony – this is not any fault on your part. You speak from the gut, and your fans are pretty much in tune with you and the topics you write about. However, if you want to make Ruhlman feel insignificant, you have to whore yourself out to the masses in order to be sending him those e-mails from your Blackberry with just the number of total comments from that day.
First of all, most of you people seem to know quite a bit about the Food Network….so you must be watching quite often. Most of you aren’t happy with the contents…how stupid is that continually watching shows you hate. I’m not a foodie…… most stupid term I’ve ever heard of….. but most of the chefs you seem to like talk down to us “simple folk”" Talk about a bunch of morons!!!Why would anyone but a self-absorbed geek who thinks their you know what doesn’t stink care what someone looks like…Anthony Bourdain looks like a heroin addict going through withdrawal. You people make me sick!!!!!
Wow. I’ve never met a “foodie hater” before.
I would hope that you’re passionate about something too – be it sports, politics, whatever. And I’m sure if you’re as passionate about whatever it is you’re into, you’d voice your displeasure with something you didn’t agree with.
Seems like a good time to post this link:

Oops, try this one instead:
http://archive.gamespy.com/comics/dorktower/archive.asp?nextform=viewcomic&id=1231
It actually has a link back here way down at the bottom.
If being a foodie means you make fun of people’s looks, then !?!?!?!?! What does being passionate about something have to do with making fun of people? Can someone explain that to me? That’s the problem I have with most of the critics…………
No Fan, what was it you said about Anthony Bourdain?
No one’s going to take up the troll bait here. Buzz off.
sorcha,
I must read that comic more often.
Folks, a word of advice:
DO NOT FEED THE TROLL.
The only way to make a ‘net troll go away is to completely ignore him/her/it. Any attention given will only encourage the troll to stick around and keep being obnoxious.
Trolls taste like warthog anus.
sorcha:
Are trolls prepared the same way, by cooking them until nearly ash in the dirt?
See, this is why I am glad Tony does his show. Because this way I can point to someone that I am familiar with and say, “Now *that* guy knows what shit tastes like.”
Well, skawt, they are always best after a good flame-roasting. Unfortunately, they tend to spit a weak but mildly irritating acid while they’re being prepared.
NFOF is what regulars at People’s Republic of Cork.com refer to as a ‘Wind Up Merchant’ – usually dismissed with a brusque “Fup off WUM!”
From today’s NY Times . . . no wonder Chodorow hasn’t sued Bruni yet – or will he? It’ll be ridiculous if he does:

Oops, my bad! Meant to post the above to he Bruni/Chodorow fight – sorry!
