Sweet Validation

This evening I routinely googled myself to make sure no one was ripping off my shit, which has happened on multiple occasions, and I came across a recent interview with the iconic Anthony Bourdain. He was asked which food blogs he reads and his response was "I read Eater, Grub Street in New York, Regina Schrambling's Gastropoda and Cooking for Assholes is wonderful - that's a really great one." I fucking kid you not. Anthony Fucking Bourdain reads my stupid ass blog! This makes the last year and a half of ignoring my family and friends for the sake of food and writing all worth it. Fuck yeah.

Congratulations fucker.

Beer Drinker Rob said...

Wow, that is impressive. So now you have a new #1: Anthony Bourdain overtakes The Wayland Cook and Stumptown Magazine.

Sweet plug for you! Nice job.

That is FUCKING awesome! I wish I had a famous reader. Oh wait I do! YOU read my blog (I think) and now you are famous(er) because Anthony Bourdain reads you. It's like the Six Degees of Cooking For Assholes. HA!

Portland Charcuterie Project said...

Big whoop.. when he came to town, he ate my charcuterie and pickles, drank my nocino, and fucked my wife.

He liked my pickles the best out of all of them.

Anonymous said...

That's impressive and I can understand why he like's your blog. Seems like a good fit. I also agree with what he says about the future of food blogs...it's here to stay.

MammaBri said...

That's quite the accomplishment. I bet you're fucking beaming today.

El Rey in Big D said...

Congrats!
That's cooler than when my parents finally came to one of my football games this year.
(Okay, they were my in-laws. Okay, 'my' parents never came to my football games. Okay, I'm also 36 years old. Fucking pathetic...)

Bob said...

Dude, that's just awesome.

Anonymous said...

goldNboi7 said...

Damn that's awesome...the real life version of the Dos Equis man shouted you out...no praise I could give you could measure up...

Cooking Asshole said...

Thanks everyone! None of this would be possible without you, the reader. I am honored, humbled, and completely beside myself.

Oops...I mean, I knew I was better than all you stupid fucking douchebags. Suck it, losers.

BaltimoreGal said...

Hey, you know, you really are an asshole!

Doug Stephens said...

I would be impressed if I knew who the hell Anthony Bourdain was. Still, pretty cool.

Doll said...

Too bad his show already did Portland
HAHHAhHAHHAHAH
p.s. - they edited out the part where he said he thinks your logo is a little too gay.

Ms. Salti said...

That is awesome dude. Maybe since you're now critically acclaimed, I'll try to read more often. Ha!

Xine said...

You have finally fucking arrived. Now go bake a loaf of bread bitch!

This is That Was Great said...

hey FUCK YOU dickauce!! Oh, nevermind, you wrote Fuck yeah. Better to get a bone from bourdain than that fat creep with the bizarre show or Double Dare host with his corporate ass lick fest.

This is That Was Great said...

And where the fuck did all these commentors come from? Used to be me and just a few other shithead locals, probably your extended family. Now it looks as crowded as the twinkie-weiner sandwich line at the fair.

Cooking Asshole said...

Thanks everyone! Except the Doll, as usual...

great to see you again "was this there great."

This is That Was Great said...

Phase 1: Collect Underpants
(make mess in kitchen)

Phase 2: ?


Phase 3: Profit
(Bourdain backslap)


I'm still lurking around often

Cooking Asshole said...

Make yourself more visible. You say some fucked up funny ass shit.

Stella said...

Nice! I really like Anthony Bourdain-he is a maestro for sure. I can totally see him liking your blog too. That makes sense (smile)...

GetTheShovel said...

That is soooo awesome! I'd watch out though when that other guy gets a bead on you, Andrew Zimmern. He eats the nastiest things like snake penis.

Reading Raynes said...

Holy shit that's awesome. Here comes the rest of us to ride on your coat-tails. Nice one! Congratulations - you rock!

Cooking Asshole said...

Thanks Guys! He is basically the bomb in the food world! If some douchebag from the Food Network said such awesome things I would be ashamed to mention it!

Ron-Yves said...

Once you get the guy that shouts out the secret ingredient at the beginning of the Iron Chef to subscribe to your site---you'll be home free :-)

Cheers.

Anonymous said...

Sweet!!! You guys should do a TV show together!

bird said...

i saw anthony bourdain over the weekend, and he told me your plates are the worst.

Ken said...

Cooking Asshole said...

The plates have meaning dammit! I only have four left so I need to get repilcas of them made in case I break any more.

Ken, who else would forgive your missspelrngs?
