Rick Bayless sells out!
 

Was that Rick Bayless I saw doing a Taco Bell commercial!? I'd hoped,
despite that whiney, weedling, voice Rick uses in his Mexico: One
Plate at a Time program, an affectation that makes him sound like some
sleezy snake oil salesman, he actually had some integrity. His
recipes are so good. But, alas, I guess TB found his price point.
I'd expect it from Emeril or Bobby Flay, but hoped Rick had a little
more backbone. I hope this doesn't become a trend.

Probably not, but you may have seen him on a Burger King commercial or two.
He explains why he did it on his website and there's a very long, long
discussion going on in egullet on the same topic.

I'm so glad you're notbob.

It's Burger King and one specific product.

Bayliss says that the people who are promoting sustainable/healthy
eating (like him) should be encouraging big companies, particularly
fast-food ones, to follow suit. One way is to support tangible efforts
that head in that direction. Promote the better stuff at the expense
of the lesser.

He's donating all his checks from BK to various farms that grow high
quality produce within the guidelines he wants to follow.

I just read Rick's explanation for the BK ads. What a crock! It's
bad enough he's a blatant sellout, but to try and bullshit all his
fans with that load of bullocks about steering the great unwashed
toward a more healthy sandwich is just too much. Why can't people
just own up.

"WhatamI ...crazy!? I did it for the freakin' money!".

Now I could respect that. But, that horse crap on his website
.....well now, my only recourse is to steal his cookbooks. ;)

It can be great fun to read, and also very helpful. A lot of industry
professionals post there (Paula Wolfert, Michael Laiskonis, Tony Bourdain)
and they have no problems (mostly) with answering mundane questions from
amateurs and ordinary people like me :-). Some people rfc has lost can be
found to be very active over on eGullet. Oh, both Rachel Ray and Rick
Bayless read eGullet, so they read all of the negative comments on their BK
ads (and RR also read not so nice comments on her FHM photos).

For a good laugh, search for Tony Bourdain's post on the 2003 James Beard
Awards, and also on perfume samples in Gourmet magazine (women might enjoy
that one more than men, though :-)).

I have to say, that was a big laugh for me. I never understood how
anyone could stand his style of speech. You described it very well.
I'm sure that will offend his many fans, but that voice makes me

Becoming a chef doesn't involve a vow of poverty. Just because dear
Julia never smiled over a serving of KFC doesn't mean that if a pop
star in *any* field chooses to make a buck off his/her celebrity, they
are "selling out." I'm sure high-profile chefs are constantly asked
for endorsements of one sort or another. Another poster said Bayliss
was donating the money to some sort of food-related organization, but
even if he weren't, it's not criminal to accept pay for services in
legitimate enterprises. Did Martha Stewart "sell out" to K-Mart? She
may be the high priestess of Domestic Science, but everyone pretty
much knows she was out for the $$. Presumably the lines of products
she endorses are of a price/quality she believed wouldn't ruin her
street cred.

Actually, just because the posts are consecutive doesn't mean a post is
directly related to the post before it. For example, post #1 might be
followed by 10 posts all referring to it, then there might be 1 post
referring to post #5, 2 posts referring to post #7, then 8 more referring to
post #1. It becomes even more difficult when some do not quote the post
they are replying to (and that happens fairly often on e-Gullet) so you have
no idea to which post they are referring.

I'm a subscriber to eGullet, too, and have slogged through a few
puzzlers. I understand the difficulty of following some of the
threads, particularly the longer ones. I guess I didn't explain myself
clearly.

She said she read the entire thread but may have missed some.
Contradictory? We didn't say anything about sequence, just that they
were all available in one place, one after another. It was more her
narrow-eyed imputation of perfidy and greed that pushed my button
here. Accused, judged and condemned all in one short post, facts be
damned.

Taco Bell is using Bayless but vice versa is also true. Bayless will
become better known and more people will become aware of authentic
Mexican food.

Also, Bayless is not a snobby purist. He prefers authenticity but he
doesn't hold up his nose at popular tastes or cultural crossbreeding.

Yeah. Drives me crazy. What makes it particularly annoying is he
doesn't normally talk like that. I once heard him on a live radio

While we're waiting for Bob to back up his claim, we can ruminate on
this little tidbit:

"At Frontera Grill in Chicago, food left over at the end of the
evening is given to nontipped kitchen workers to take home. Says
Jennifer Fife, assistant to Chef Rick Bayless, "They get first dibs on
anything we can't use the next day or hold over the weekend.""

IOW, he gives his staff the garbage. Now, you just know someone with
such a maganimous nature has only the most altruistic motives.

I don't consider that garbage unless it's wasted. Many upscale eateries donate excess
production to soup kitchens and the like. For him to offer his employees first dibs
is considerate in my book. If they're insulted by it they can just leave it there.

For "first dibs" to be anything less than a given would be even more
insulting.

Wonderful. Such deep thinking.

Food left over at the end of the night isn't garbage. It's merely
unsold food. And, in Bayliss operations, rather high quality food. He
gives his employees food. Only someone who hasn't the remotest grasp
on how restaurants work would think of it as garbage. It's good food
that saves employees money. It's good enough to sell at 9:59. It's
still good enough to sell at 10:05 when he gives it to the very people
who made it. Do you think the prep people who spent the time making it
think it's garbage?

I didn't actually mean that I thought you were a deep thinker. It was
a sarcastic comment. Sorry that went over your head.

I bet you don't have any leftovers in your house. And I bet you never
order soup in restaurants. Or twice-baked potatoes. Never take the
beans in vinaigrette from the salad bar. You know, ****wit, food isn't
bad because the clock moves.

I know what they do with it. They let the people who made it enjoy the
fruits of their labor. Just like I did in my restaurants. And most
nights, we sat and ate together. And they took home the extra for
another meal or two. As did I. The only garbage in this thread is
between your ears.

I'd say 99% of the people who typically eat at Burger King have no idea
who Rick Bayless is (or care for that matter)... It's a futile attempt
to gain some respect with the foodies in hopes it will trickle on down
the food chain... equivalent to Hawking teaching remedial math to

Actually, I sometimes -- errr..often -- find myself in the situation
of choosing a fast food joint on my commute to Dallas. And I own a
Rick Bayless cookbook, too. So I guess it is I for whom the huckster
intones. Call it a moral/aesthetic/gastronomic failing, but there it
is. And so in the fullness of time (as a particularly pretentious
narrator of a Snored through the Rings film might put it) I have had
opportunity to eat Burger King fare. I've not sampled the
Bayless-specific chicken, but I've had the Rachel Ray melange.

Yuck. Gummy bread. Salty chicken. Pathetic vegetables. Anemic
mustard sauce.

This has the makings of a culinary catastrophe on the order of the
Putnam mutual funds' snafu in the financial world. A public trust has
been abused, I tell you.

This is not to say that his cookbooks are any less brilliant, however.
He's no Diana Kennedy, but who is? Anyhow, she mumbled too much in
the cooking shows she did -- at least the ones I saw back in the early
90s. Bayless can communicate and he knows his chiles. The man is to
be praised and prized for his Mexican work.

The guy is seriously funny. Check out his reaction to a perceived slight by

You are condemning those forming their opinions in the absence of facts,

Try http://tinyurl.com/tzr5 . If it doesn't work, go to the search function
and use "2003" in Keywords, "Bourdain" in Member Name, search in all
categories (I usually check off "show results as posts" but it won't make a
difference in this case), and then select "Any Date". e-Gullet's search
functions sucks, but once you get the hang of it, you can usually find what
you want.

As for the perfume samples post, it's post preview #368098 , but if you
search as above but use "balls" as your keyword instead of "2003", it'll pop
up under the thread titled "Bourdain." It's just a little funny thinking of
him rubbing a perfume strip on his balls--and I don't doubt that he would!

So, this begs the question: Do you think the food used for Second
Harvest/Food Rescue type organizations is garbage, too? Or is it just
that "garbage" is good enough for homeless people and not for working
folks?

I would be thrilled to work at a restaurant with good food that
allowed us to take food home. It would be higher quality than fast
food, fresh, tasty, and would help save money on the food bill. I'd see
it as a benefit, not an insult.
