Giles Coren Calls Bourdain a 'Tedious Old Smackhead'

New, 4 comments

Oh dear. Times of London critic Giles Coren — apparently not a fan of the World's 50 Best Restaurants listicle — dined at elBulli two days ago.

And no one calls Bourdain a "tedious old smackhead." Or at least gets away with it unscathed. Bourdain tweets: "@gilescoren 'tedious'. Maybe. 'old'? Without a doubt. 'smack head?' Fuck you. C*nt." Here's how it all went down:

Not sure how this is all going to play out, but hopefully it'll end with someone getting a fruit basket. Your move, Coren.
