THIS IS LIKE CHOOSING BETWEEN THE STRENGTH OF MIKE DITKA VERSUS A HURRICANE, WHERE THE HURRICANE IS NAMED "HURRICANE DITKA": Oh, damn you Outside Magazine, which according to Page Six has placed two of this blog's most treasured cultural icons at war -- Anthony Bourdain and Dunkin' Donuts:

RACHAEL Ray is getting a royal dunkin' from Anthony Bourdain for her big-bucks endorsement deal with Dunkin' Donuts. The prickly chef and "Kitchen Confidential" author says of the Food Network cutie in next month's Outside magazine: "She's got a magazine, a TV empire, all these best-selling books - I'm guessing she's not hurting for money. She's hugely influential, particularly with children. And she's endorsing Dunkin' Donuts. It's like endorsing crack for kids." Bourdain adds: "I'm not a very ethical guy. I don't have a lot of principles. But somehow that seems to me over the line. Juvenile diabetes has exploded. Half of Americans don't have necks. And she's up there saying, 'Eat some [bleeping] Dunkin' Donuts. You look great in that swimsuit - eat another doughnut!' That's evil."
For what it's worth, as of Monday, all Dunkin' Donuts baking will be virtually trans-fat free.
