Anthony Bourdain had a no white chef's policy for Houston episode.

As PaperCity’s own Jailyn Marcel pointed out when the Houston Parts Unknown first aired, none of the city’s celebrity chefs even sniffed a bit of air time. It turns out most of them never had a chance to get on. Foodie power players such as Chris Shepherd, Bryan Caswell and Ronnie Killen were out from the moment Bourdain issued his “no white people” command.
It’s hard to argue with the results (though when it comes to race, someone is always going to object). Bourdain’s Houston show is one of the most critically-acclaimed episodes of Parts Unknown ever. Bourdain tells the New Yorker that he wanted to look at Houston “as a Vietnamese and Central American and African and Indian place.”
There is little doubt Bourdain accomplished his mission — no matter his methods. The episode provided a fascinating look at the Houston that many of the residents populating all the mid-rises and high-rises popping up don’t even know.

his show. he can do as he pleases
as the viewing audience, we have the choice to watch or not
that is the beauty of a free market
these responses are retarded
no one is saying what he did is illegal.

Of course he did. While not surprising, it is completely hypocritical and disingenuous.
Food is a form of art. People take inspirations form other cultures to create something for others to enjoy. By instituting a "no whitey" policy, you are essentially being bigoted for no other reason to be a bigot. What if that white person is from abroad? What if his inspiration is from Africa or Spain or Central America? Food doesn't have a race.
I am in no way, less able to make an African dish than someone from Africa unless it's due to geographic specific foods that are not acquired here. The same goes for any chef in Houston.

That's not what Houston is, though. Yes that is part of it, but so are those evil white chefs too. Houston is a giant amalgamation of differing cultures and imposing a "no whitey" rule is just plain bigoted to be bigoted.

I really liked Chef's Tour and No Reservations. His cnn show blows
I like his book and a lot of his shows. This latest season was straight up grandstanding. This Houston episode was an hour long "see this is why you shouldn't vote trump"
I am not even a trump guy but I have no ideology why guys like bill Simmons and Bourdain spent so much time beating a dead horse.
This article is click bait but whatever

I've read two of his books, which I enjoyed. I've watched a lot of his shows in all incarnations and I've enjoyed them as well.
He's still a self-righteous, pretentious, ex heroin addict, silver spoon shoved up his narrow arse douchebag.
But I wouldn't mind his job.

All Liberals are racist jerks. Stick to food Tony.
Last season was really rough, especially his claptrap about Brexit and Mussolini. It was so heavy handed, arrogant, and patronizing. He needs to back away from some of his political bias. It's ok in small doses, but at this point, it's just making him look like a bigoted jackass.

If I'm getting some African food, I'd better not see some cracker back there in the kitchen.

In Tony's defense, there aren't many white chefs in Houston worth visiting.
