Clearly Anthony Bourdain was a big nerd in high school. Be aware that these brainy types make some of the most successful Reverse Snobs when they mature. Typically they have the right balance of smarts and bitterness needed to fully understand the role.
If you too are a nerd with the determination to become so cool that you can eventually snub the snob, emulate this man starting today.
Things that make him a good Reverse Snob role model:
- Knows just as much about food and cooking as any elite chef, yet still scarfs street vendor hot dogs.
- Enjoys beer.
- More likely to be seen eating a seal off the kitchen floor of an Inuit family's house in Quebec than a five course dinner at a Michelin rated restaurant in Paris.
- NYC.
- Jerky camera movements/documentary style.
- Eats foie gras in mass quantities.
- Smoker.
- Ignores popular fashion (i.e. still wears an earring).
- Yet doesn't wear Crocs.
- Witty writer.
Food:
ReplyDeleteThe reverse snob doesn't eat meat. Unless it's a juicy, hormone free, grass-fed burger. Or maybe some organic chicken wings. Or any kind of game meat. Other than that, no meat.
The reverse snob has no TV, and so thus, has no idea who this guy is or what you are talking about.
