Paula Deen
The Attack: We've written quite a bit about this feud (to catch up, head here, here and here) in recent months. Its original missive was when Bourdain said, "She revels in unholy connections with evil corporations, and she's proud of the fact that her food is f*cking bad for you. If I were on at 7:00 at night and loved by millions of people at every age, I would think twice before telling an already obese nation that it's OK to eat food that is killing us. Plus, her food sucks."
The Response: Deen told Page Six, "You don't have to like my food, or Rachael's, Sandra's and Guy's. But it's another thing to attack our character... In the last two years, my partners and I have fed more than 10 million hungry people by bringing meat to food banks."
The Resolution: None -- this feud is still red-hot.

You saw the date on that piece about Alice Waters being Ruth Bourdain, right?

The Alice Waters/Ruth Bourdain admission was an April Fools joke.

Perry, that's genius. I think you've hit the nail on the head.
