whaaa? celebrity chef culture has not upped the salty language from the people who sprinkle the salt. please. anyone who has worked in a kitchen knows its the perfect place to blaspheme and spout swear word fireworks. I can't wait for Bourdain to check this silly view ... next to a lockeroom, their a few more profane places then a bizzy kitchen -- and the TV cams didn't create this, they just captured it.
