Anthony Bourdain Slams Paula Deen After Diabetes Announcement

Us Weekly 

No reservations is right.

Anthony Bourdain isn’t done criticizing Paula Deen. The celeb chef and No Reservations star, who has bashed Deen’s calorie-bomb recipes in the past, made an obvious dig at the Food Network star on Twitter Tuesday.

Shortly after Deen, 64, confirmed she has type 2 diabetes, Bourdain wrote, “Thinking of getting into the leg-breaking business, so I can profitably sell crutches later.” A bit later, Bourdain shot down a headline provided by TMZ regarding the feud:  “For the record: Never called anybody a ‘diabetic scam artist.’ TMZ’s words. Not mine.”

On The Today Show Tuesday, Deen — famous for her cooking up sugary, fatty, deep-fried Southern concoctions on her TV shows and in cookbooks — revealed that she was diagnosed with the disease three years ago, and is now a paid spokesperson for Novo Nordisk, which treats the disease.

Bourdain has blasted Deen in the past as the “most dangerous person to America” who is “proud of the fact that her food is f—-ing bad for you.”

Deen retorted at the time that Bourdain should “get a life.”

What is it they say about too many cooks?

Clearly the celebrity kitchen’s not big enough for at least two TV chefs: Anthony Bourdain and Paula Deen.

Bourdain, the bestselling author and host of Travel Channel‘s No Reservations, triggered a food feud by blasting the queen of down-home Southern cooking in a TV Guide interview.

Deen, 64, responded on Fox and Friends by saying,
I was actually kind of shocked considering I’ve never met Anthony,” and wondering why “such harsh words could be used.

This may not be the end of it. Bourdain also had some choice words for Food Network stars Guy Fieri (“I’m glad that not’s me.”), Rachael Ray (“Does she even cook anymore?”) and Sandra Lee (“I hate her works on this planet.”)
