Anthony Bourdain (the cartoon version)
It all makes sense, I guess: When you get famous enough that your detractors start to carp about how you’ve become a cartoon of your former self, what’s left to do but become a cartoon of your former self? Fortunately, the just-posted preview of the new animated web series “Anthony Bourdain’s Alternate Universe” is sharp and funny. It takes aim squarely at one of the chef/traveler/writer’s pet obsessions — the quest for capital-P Personalities that’s stamped the life, or at least the culinary smarts, right out of The Food Network. Where does the network come up with hosts like Guy Fieri, who looks like he blinked into existence in the middle of a focus group? (Fieri’s never mentioned by name, but you can’t miss him.) Watch and learn.
