what is this?
"Left alone in a cage with a mountain of cocaine, a lab rat will gorge itself to death.
And news anchors and television personalities who have their own shows, Web site, blogs and pages on Facebook.com and MySpace.com will send Twitter messages until the last follower falls into a coma." Allessandra Stanley

a real bachelor pad
go here to read more about a designer they call a shoe whore, and also see lots of good pics
I read you keep a journal. Can we read it?
[Laughs] No.
Why? What do you put in it?
It’s personal. It’s not a blog … anyway, by the fourth week I had signed up for FIT. I made up a bogus resumé … and I went to the D&D building and I handed out resumés. By the time I got home, I had gotten a call from John Rosselli and I worked for him for about a year and a half in sales.
Did you tell him that your resumé was bogus?
No [laughs] …
Don’t you think when you’re young everyone has to cheat a bit to get going. There’s that phrase: ‘Fake it until you make it’.
[Laughs] That’s a good one! So I worked there and met a lot of designers and I was going to FIT. Then one day one of my clients came in one day and said, would you be interested in interviewing with us, a Connecticut-based design company and I worked there for five years, built up a clientele and then like everyone else went off by myself. It was very scary.

Each week I scour the Internet, reading more than 300 design blogs to direct readers to the best and most beautiful posts. Today, to mark the one-year anniversary of Blog Watch, I share my 10 favorites in alphabetical order.

the king of snark is a teddy bear
DELISH: So, what's your personal decorating style?
ANTHONY BOURDAIN: Welcome to baby world.
DELISH: What's your favorite room in the house?
AB: The living room. It's become a combination TV room, dining room, and playroom. The floor is covered with brightly colored baby-friendly tiles, a tent full of plastic balls, toys, and more toys.
DELISH: What's the one thing in this room you couldn't live without?
AB: The monster flat-screen TV. Whether rewatching The Wire — or Yo Gabba Gabba with my daughter — it's an essential diversion.
DELISH: What is your ideal day at home?
AB: I'm not at home as much as I like since I'm traveling about half the time or sometimes more...so a perfect day? Wake up. Run out for the Times and Post and coffee for me and my wife. A few hours of successfully writing deathless prose at my desk. Followed by a nap. Join wife and daughter in trip to park. Daughter goes (uncharacteristically) quietly and happily to sleep in her crib. My wife and I go out for yakitori and many drinks.
DELISH: But when you are at home and want to cook, what do you prepare?
AB: I pan-sear a steak au poivre. Or make a simple pasta. But mostly, I order out.
DELISH: If you had an unlimited amount of money to spend on one kitchen item, what would it be?
AB: A professional stove. And a kitchen to put it in.
DELISH: What’s the one kitchen item you think every cook should have on hand?
AB: An offset serrated knife. The F Dick model is good. I believe there's a Wüsthof as well.
DELISH: What are some of your most memorable moments from No Reservations?
AB: Introducing my camera and production crew to the lethal charms of the Negroni in Tuscany. One cameraman ended up passing out with his head in the freezer.
DELISH: If you were to invite a famous person to your house, who would it be?
AB: My home is not guest-ready at the present time — or likely to be in the near future. I'd like to invite Martin Scorsese out to Del Posto to talk movies. More realistically, maybe a few chef friends might drop by. I have a stash of seriously good tinned Galician cockles, razor clams, tuna, and mussels that I bought at Espinaler in Spain and a bottle of their house vermouth. Only chefs would "get" that meal.
DELISH: Who are your favorite people to host at home?
AB: Family. They're the only people who could be expected to put up with the rather spartan conditions, overflow of toys — and the active 16-month-old looking to cosh them with a Fulla doll.
