It was on the Travel Channel. Bourdain's "No Reservations" is a good
show I think. I almost never find it wanting in either information or
wit.

Food TV, on the other hand, seems to be suffering from a video strain
of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Many experts believe Marc Summers is to
blame, although it was likely Paula Deen who actually deep fried his
tiny, prion-infected brain and served it to the rest of the employees.
With butter. Sandra Lee thus became inevitable.

On a happy note, Summers never missed his brain.
