Bourdain says he does watch the sinking ship that is the Food Network, and he has something to say about most of the chefs.

The quick of it:

• Alton Brown: smart
• Emeril: unwatchable
• Bobby Flay: misused
• Mario Batali: under-used
• That Ace-of-Cakes guy: talented
• Giada: can cook
• Rachael Ray: can’t cook
• Sandra Lee: pure evil

I find it very hard to disagree.
