This was in a gossip piece from today’s New York Post:

Chef and author Anthony Bourdain stirred up controversy at a Gourmet magazine-sponsored discussion on Thursday night at the Museum of Television & Radio. "The restaurant industry would collapse without the Mexicans andCentral Americans who came to this country with no skills at all. That's what I hate about the James Beard Awards - you look out at the audience and you've never seen so many white people in one place since George Wallace ran for president," Bourdain told a stunned audience.

Ya gotta love the guy. It is spot on. Once had dinner at his restaurant, Les Halles, with a gang of folks. Big, loud, crowded, and reasonably priced brasserie. If you are a foodie, you have got to read his Kitchen Confidential, great stuff!
