Be sure to check out Anthony Bourdain’s Overrated Menu from Radar magazine’s Hype Report. Chef Bourdain puts the pin to the pretension balloon by pointing out overrated items that you’ll find on the menu of many “fine dining” restaurants. Click on this link to read Chef Bourdain's explanation of each item. And yes, there are restaurants that have a Water Sommelier on staff.

For more fun and visceral Bourdain blogging, be sure to read Anthony's Blog, where he's covering this season of the reality TV competition "Top Chef", on which he appears as an occasional guest judge.

"Top Chef fans? Just as no one can say boo about the judging this week, no one -- NO ONE -- can complain about the challenges. No quirky, kooky, product-placing roach-coach stunts this time, my friends. No one had to make quesadillas over an open can of sterno in the back of a moving Rav 4. Or prepare a festive snack out of Froot Loops while wearing a Glad Family of Bags over their head. Tonight, the challenges were not only perfectly suited to the task of deciding who might someday be a "Top Chef", but were also perfectly matched to the judging panel."
