WTF is Up with Chef Wanted with Anne "I'm not a real chef" Burrell

Ok, Seriously! I love watching people cook, just as much as the next food'centric person, but this show has me questioning EVERYTHING!

As someone who is from the south, lives in the south (til the Aug 4th), and grew up in the south.. what is with all the weird ass statements made towards us on this show? First episode I saw involved a chef who referred to himself as "The Love Chef"... an African American man with 9 kids, who talked about Dirt roads... Now I am not knocking how many kids he has or his ethnicity, but damn it all... We have paved roads ( and yes, indoor toilets! shocking as it may be)... this is about as stereotypical a view of a black man as it could get.. why?

Because COME ON! most people think all we do in the south is make babies... and please for the love of all things unholy... brown sugar on everything?!!! ... NO!!... No!!! NOOOOO!... and guess what he didn't get the spot at the Ole Homestead Steak House... Well shit, was that a shocker?! .. An who the hell let that female in the kitchen in full makeup with FAKE NAILS?! ... that is against all the "rules" in a kitchen..It is unsanitary... those things are a breeding ground for germs! AND... You CAN NOT wear jewelry (except for a smooth band and at most stud earrings) and The Love Chef was sporting bling... Have some respect!

And then... OMG the episode with Todd English's place "Olive's" ... "he's an openly gay chef in the south"... What, WHAT?! Now we are homophobic? ... I know plenty of openly gay people here...unless you are chasing Warren"fuckin"Baetty, chances are, you are going to run into VERY open minded people who couldn't give a rat's ass about a person's race or their sexual preference...Can we please leave the "reality" shows where they belong...


Mhmmm... I just ranted... and you know what... I don't feel any better... I can assure you there WILL be more to come... because unless we stop with this hypocritical bullshit we call "television", we as a species are just going to keep digging a deeper hole...

GROW UP!!!
