Snarky and cock...I don't find him arrogant at all. Snarky and cocky, yeah, but he has a humility about him. And a true respect for different cuisines from different cultures. He doesn't make me want to sucker-punch him the way Andrew Zimmern does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13266616.post-84668961362910734022007-11-10T16:12:00.000-05:002007-11-10T16:12:00.000-05:00LOL: Well put!LOL: Well put!Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064972052546768332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13266616.post-85735694452154653022007-11-10T05:29:00.000-05:002007-11-10T05:29:00.000-05:00John: Oh no, I don't think you're wrong at all.

Then I realized somewhere along the line that he's well aware he's an arrogant prick and he pretty much cultivates it.
