The INSIDER Summary:

  • There's been a recent omelette controversy surrounding a video of French chef Jacques Pépin making an omelette with a fork instead of a whisk.
  • Anthony Bourdain stands up for Pépin's methods with a sassy statement.

When it comes to food, never question Anthony Bourdain.

It's no secret that the famous chef and television host has some strong opinions on food, and particularly on the best way to make an omelette.

One particular egg controversy stems from a cooking video from chef master Jacques Pépin, who left many American foodies agape by using a fork to scrape and whisk his eggs over a non stick pan.

Apparently, being a French master chef isn't enough to be considered an expert for American palates.

Bourdain, however, defended Pépin's technique in his own cookbook, "Appetites."

Bourdain recaps the video and the controversy surrounding it, summing up in his typical Bourdain-style, "You know what? If Jacques Pépin tells you this is how you make a f------ egg? The matter is settled, f--- nuts."

If it's good enough for him, it's good enough for us. No one wants to pick a fight with with Anthony Bourdain.
