Ira Glass Likes Excess and Giant M&Ms
New York Magazine: How often do you prepare your own meals?
Ira Glass: If “prepare” means “cook,” almost never. If “prepare” means “combine” or simply “transfer from ice-cream container,” nearly every day.
NYmag: Who is your mortal enemy?
IG: Steve Kroft of 60 Minutes. Or he would be, if he were mortal.
NYmag: Times, Post, or Daily News?
IG: Times. Please. I’m a cliché. Did I mention I work in public broadcasting?
NYmag: What makes someone a New Yorker?
IG: Oh, for God’s sake. I could give a fuck.
It’s not even fair how wonderful this man is.
Anthony Bourdain Talks with Slashfood about his new book, Guy Fieri, etc.
- Slashfood: You had a beef with Rachael Ray, but we hear you've made up.
- Anthony Bourdain: Yeah, she sent me a food basket. It's pretty much that easy.
- SF: So anyone you're fighting with can send you a basket and you're cool?
- AB: No. There are a few people mentioned in the book, they can send me all the baskets they f**king want and I'll still pee on their graves.
- SF: Like who?
- AB: Nah, I don't want to get into it, otherwise me and Alan Richman [GQ food critic] are going to look like a couple of old hookers slapping each other in a parking lot.
- SF: What's your guilty pleasure food?
- AB: Really guilty pleasure? Late at night when no one's looking, mac and cheese from KFC.
- SF: Oh God.
- AB: It's the guilt that makes it good.
