In the narrative “Food Is Good” author Anthony Bourdain humorously details the beginning of his journey with food. Bourdain uses lively dialogue with an acerbic style that sets his writing apart from the norm. His story began during his childhood and told of the memories that reverberated into his adulthood, and consequently changed his life forever. Bourdain begins by detailing his first epiphany with food while on a cruise ship traveling to France. His first food experience was with Vichyssoise, a soup served cold.

In his essay “The Eco-Gastronomic Mirror: Narcissism and Death at the Dinner Table” Jordan Shapiro explores the psychological aspects of the human relationship with food. He comments on the ways in which the imperfections in the food are masked in the kitchen. The author reiterates his experience at the hands of older male chefs and the things he saw and felt while training in the kitchen. He endeavors to debunk the myth that cooking in a large kitchen is anything but noisy and infernal, as portrayed by movies such as “Ratatouille (2007)”.
Barry begins his essay by using imagery to show what he envisions when he hears 'bistro' explaining that "I believe the French sit around their restaurants pretending to eat out of empty snail shells and making French sounds of enjoyment such as "Yumme!". In the image he creates, he exaggerates by using stereotypes such as the French pretending to eat escargot, which is a delicacy that Barry believes the French "don't actually eat". Barry begins to establish in the reader that bistros are 'fake', as the French call their snails a delicacy which they themselves would not eat, and neither would the marketers who gave the inedible airline food the title of bistro.

When choosing a famous culinarian I probably should have chosen someone a bit more famous like Paula Deen, Gordon Ramsey, or Anthony Bourdain; (at least that way I would have a plethora of bios, summaries, and different multi medias to work with) who mind you are all amazing chefs and have made great names for themselves. But they are all “cookie cutter” chefs. They each have amazing talent and great TV personalities. But what have any of them done to enhance our industry? what have they done to revitalize a dieing breed? The only thing any of them have done is enhance their own bank accounts and pawn off basic knowledge that should have been passed down from generation to generation. Unfortunately in our fast paced culture no one has time or energy to do anything more than watch people cook on TV and re-heat pre made dishes that have been so processed im not sure they are anything but flavored calories. Its a sad brave new world we live in, which brings me to the main topic of this essay: Alice Waters. I doubt many of you have ever heard of her. She is most famous for her restaurant in my home town of Berkeley California, called Chez Panisse. The restaurant menu changes daily based on whats in season and available. Unfortunately before I can get into all the juicy fun facts about Alice (like how drunk she and mom would get at the bar) Ill have to give you a quick dry briefing on who what where when and why our heroine exists.
In the story, the cook is described as making incredible dishes “Make good thick soup and bake a tasty pie” (394) He wears his name of cook well, enthralling all who sample his food with its captivating flavor. Comparably, Gordon Ramsay is perhaps the most well-known cook in today’s time, famous for his proficiency in the art of cooking. Yet although they are similar in their capacity to create spectacular dishes, they are incredibly different in the way they run their kitchen. While Gordon Ramsay follows strict sanitary procedures, the cook could care less about sanitation. “He had an ulcer on his knee”. Despite the fact that he is sickly and has an open, festering ulcer infecting everything it comes in contact with, he continues to serve his customers, paying no mind to their health. Gordon Ramsey would never even contemplate engaging in such abhorable scamming of the general public, and would undoubtedly openly frown at this selfish , disgusting
Only one critic remains, the sarcastic and authoritarian Anton Ego. As the main antagonist of the movie, he is against everything to come out of Gusteau’s mind, most vehemently towards the “Anyone can cook” slogan, and posthumously, Gusteau’s kitchen, making judgments before anything has even occurred. As a writer for “The Grim Eater”, a food critic literature, he is very hard to impress; his typewriter is even an obvious pictorial of a skull. Ego holds the art of cooking to a very high stature, believing that only a gifted few barely possess the ability. He is the classic culture of Ratatouille, stuck in old views, fueling the opposition of independence and innovation in the kitchen.
In order to get a greater sense of the food personality attributes, three episodes from each show’s current season were analyzed to examine the personalities’ mannerisms and culinary identity. These attributes and characteristics were coded and analyzed (see Table 2). Content analysis started with cursory examination of the television episodes. I posed two questions during my initial examinations: how do these culinary personalities present themselves as experts in either the domestic or public spheres, and how do these presentations adhere or diverge from the earlier outlined gender culinary stereotypes. This meant looking at the theme of the shows, setting, the appearance and mannerisms of the culinary personalities, and how well these shows convey the tone of the network. While watching, I took note of any personal anecdotes or memories given while the food was being
