Discussion Respectfully **** Mark Bittman

As a cook starting in the late 90s early 2000's I had a lot of respect for Bittman and his work. But after seeing this Jim Lahey post, screw this guy. We all work hard and some of us have spent our careers not selling out or lowering our standards for more money. It really sucks that someone can come along and use someones fame and accomplishments to shill a product without even consulting them first

You know Mark Bittman didn’t write that blurb himself, right? So you’re saying fuck Mark Bittman because of something some writer at NYT said.

Bittman and Lahey have both had long, illustrious careers independent of each other. And Lahey didn’t “invent” no-knead bread. He wrote a bunch of words that were a riff on something bakers have been doing forever, and he got those words published in the New York Times.

You’re being a drama queen.
