John Tesar vs. Anthony Bourdain
Think Bourdain's got a sharp tongue? The Top Chef contestant called him one of the "s--tiest chefs that ever lived," adding, "The guy can't cook his way out of a paper bag. Everywhere he goes he makes Portuguese fish stew, beef bourguignon or he brings Eric Ripert with him to do something."
Alton Brown vs. Anthony Bourdain
In response to the celebrity chef's contentious attitude toward fellow culinary masters, the Food Network star fired back, "When was the last time you saw Anthony Bourdain actually cook anything? I've spent 14 years cooking my own food on television and I've never seen him cook a meal."
Anthony Bourdain vs. Adam Richman
On the Man v. Food star's Travel Channel program, Bourdain said, "The show confirms their worst suspicions—that Americans are fat, lazy, slothful, [and] wasteful...I know what [the viewer] is thinking, 'America is a terrible place. I want to join ISIS.'"
Gwyneth Paltrow vs. Martha Stewart
Stewart dished on the actress-turned-Goop founder, "[Paltrow] just needs to be quiet. She's a movie star. If she were confident in her acting, she wouldn't be trying to be Martha Stewart."
"No one has ever said anything bad about me before, so I'm shocked and devastated," Paltrow joked in response to E! News. "I'll try to recover...If I'm really honest, I'm so psyched that she sees us as competition. I really am."
Jailbird Cake vs. Conscious Coupling
The feud got foody when Stewart mocked Paltrow's famous "concious uncoupling" comment (referring to her separation from ex-hubby Chris Martin) by creating a recipe for a "conscious coupling" cake—a "perfect marriage of crust and filling."
The Acadamy Award-winning actress retaliated in the food fight with a cake of her own—"Jailbird Cake"—a not-so-discreet dig at the business mogul, who served time in prison for insider trading.
Anthony Bourdain vs. Ina Garten
While Bourdain is approves of the Barefoot Contessa fixture, her personal life is a different matter: "I don't want to live in her house. I don't want to spend a weekend there. It gets weird in Ina Land...Oh, when Jeffrey gets home, 'He'll be so happy I made meatloaf.' And then he comes home and you're pretty sure he's not into meatloaf."
Martha Stewart vs. Rachael Ray
"Well, to me, she professed that she cannot bake," the lifestyle guru said of Ray in an interview "She just did a new cookbook, which is just a re-edit of a lot of her old recipes...and that's not good enough for me."As for the talk show host's response, she took the high road. "Why would it make me mad? Her skill set is far beyond mine. That's simply the reality of it," Ray admitted.
Jamie Oliver vs. Gordon Ramsay
When the notoriously heated chef once stated that the "last time I complained about the food at a restaurant was at Jamie Oliver's Restaurant," the British restaurateur explained of the chef's animosity,"Gordon will do anything to try and take the p--s out of me because he is deeply jealous and can't quite work out why I do what I do and why he can't do that."
Gordon Ramsay vs. Mario Batali
The Hell's Kitchen star has repeatedly called Batali "Fanta Pants," prompting the chef to ban Ramsay from his restaurants. "I won't have him in there. If he called me himself and said, 'Let's sit down for a drink,' I'm sure it would be fine. We'd be cool. But right now it's not cool," Batali expressed.
Sandra Lee vs. Anthony Bourdain
Bourdain fired at the "Semi-Homemade" concept founder, "Pure evil. This frightening Hell Spawn of Kathie Lee and Betty Crocker seems on a mission to kill her fans, one meal at a time. She Must Be Stopped. Her death-dealing can-opening ways will cut a swath of destruction through the world if not contained."
Bobby Flay vs. Masaharu Morimoto
During a cook off, Bobby Flay jumped on the countertop to start showboating. Needless to say, Morimoto was peeved.
Anthony Bourdain vs. Alice Waters
The health-centric chef couldn't stand a chance against Bourdain's scorn when he said, "Alice Waters annoys the living s--t out of me. We're all in the middle of a recession, like we're all going to start buying expensive organic food and running to the green market. There's something very Khmer Rouge about Alice Waters that has become unrealistic... I'm suspicious of orthodoxy, the kind of orthodoxy when it comes to what you put in your mouth."
Andrew Zimmern vs. Tyler Florence
The television personality turned the heat up on Florence with, "Monday's episode featured the worlds least talented TV chef, Tyler Florence, once again churning out the questionable cooking advice and leading the ladies through a menu of the mom's fave recipes. Watching Florence wolf down the food, stare and ogle at every ass that strolled by his cutting board and play the role of local TV stud was high comedy of the highest order."
Florence roasted the exotic eater, "I guess it's hard to have a sense of humor when you're on your 10th take of eating Yak testicles, smiling to the camera, wondering where your life went wrong... mmmmm, Delicious! Go get 'em guys."
Anthony Bourdain vs Guy Fieri
The outspoken chef speculated on the creation of Guy Fieri,"If Ed Hardy f--ked a juggalo." He wondered, "How does Guy Fieri de-douche?"
Anthony Bourdain vs. Paula Deen
Bourdain served the Southern chef, "She revels in unholy connections with evil corporations and she's proud of the fact that her food is f--king bad for you. Plus, her food sucks."Deen fired back, "You know, not everybody can afford to pay $58 for prime rib or $650 for a bottle of wine. My friends and I cook for regular families who worry about feeding their kids and paying the bills... It wasn't that long ago that I was struggling to feed my family, too."
