Will There Be Crack At The BBQ?

I'm beginning my journey to Austin, Texas today for the SXSW music festival! Woo-hoo! It's difficult to say what bands I'll be seeing, but I do know there will be lots of my favorite things: tequila, BBQ, music and celebrity stalking sightings. High on my list? The quest to ridicule Rachel Ray in person! Oh yeah, it is on. I received an invitation to the afternoon party she's hosting in order to showcase her lawyer hubby's band - and I have every intention of being present. Click here to review the line-up of bands, as well as food and drink. Notably absent from the menu? Dunkin' Donuts! My favorite celebrity chef, hands down, is Anthony Bourdain (with Gordon Ramsey as an extremely close second). I love him for many reasons - at the top of my list is his fearless commitment to speak his mind. There's no love lost on his end towards Rachel Ray. He openly criticized her affiliation with the fast food donut chain saying, "It's evil! It's like endorsing crack for kids." I'm on it Tony - I'm ready to taunt her in your name! It would make a lot more sense if Bourdain, an actual music fan, were attending the conference - instead I'll have to make due with a bad margarita and the New York Dolls under the blazing Austin sun. Stay tuned for results of the Rachel rumble!
