Curious Career Turns
A pattern is emerging: The increasingly confounding behavior of celebrity chefs in the media. Whether getting naked for the camera or overreaching to sell a product, the number of these odd occurrences seems to be rising. I have already posted links to some of these confounding career turns in Appetizers, but here they are together in one place, along with a few others:
Burger Ka-Ching
Rick Bayless's endorsement of the Burger King Southwestern Sandwich. Related: 500+ reactions on eGullet.
"Chardonnay, Shellfish & Schubert."

Famous Chefs Naked with Their Blenders
Wylie Dufresne, Eric Ripert, and other noted chefs strip down for calendar and ad campaign.
"When they start cooking, they bake, rattle, and roll."

From EVOO to FHM

"Eat, drink, bet. Life is sweet."
