In a recent New York Times column, Frank Bruni reported on the feud between celebrity chefs Anthony Bourdain and Paula Deen. Though it’s been simmering for some time now, the tensions boiled over when the star of No Reservations told TV Guide that Deen was “the worst, most dangerous person to America. She revels in the unholy connections with evil corporations, and she’s proud of the fact that her food is f—g bad for you.”

In response, Deen told the New York Post that “Anthony Bourdain needs to get a life…. It’s not all about the cooking, but the fact that I can contribute by using my influence to help people all over the country. In the last two years, my partners and I have fed more than 10 million hungry people by bringing meat to food banks.” The host of Paula’s Home Cooking added, “not everybody can afford to pay $58 for prime rib or $650 for a bottle of wine. My friends and I cook for regular families who worry about the feeding their kids and paying the bills.”
