The second installment of Bourdain's five-week radio show airs later today.
Anthony Bourdain,
Eric Ripert, and guest
Mario Batali dropped the C-word on last week's
debut of
Turn and Burn on Sirius XM's Martha Stewart Living Radio. And by C-word, we mean "celebrity chef." Bourdain admitted that the rise of the celeb chef is actually a good thing. Batali poked fun at how high Bourdain's speaking fees have skyrocketed since becoming a celeb chef (though apparently not enough to enable a seat in
first class). "We're all suckin' on that teat," Bourdain shot back. And while Bourdain admitted to being "very nervous" at the beginning of last week's show, but got over it in time to call
Rocco DiSpirito "low-hanging fruit." Bourdain and Ripert are hosting today's show (4 p.m. locally on SIRIUS 112 and XM 157) from the
South Beach Food & Wine Festival in Miami.
Daniel Boulud is slated as guest, with the likelihood that other C-word chefs will sound off. Though probably not
Rachael Ray.
