Why he might be annoying:

    Some consider him smug, arrogant and rude to people who appear on his shows.
    He has many rabid detractors.
    One critic wrote: ‘He isn’t just the biggest dick on the Food Network, he is the only dick on the Food Network.’
    Another said: ‘He’s got a face like a rotten bee’s nest – the kind you’d pay money to kick.’
    Although he graduated at the top of his class from French cooking school, he hates French food.
    When competing on the original ‘Iron Chef,’ he outraged his Japanese opponent by standing on his cutting board.
    He despises lentils and refuses to serve them in his restaurants.
    One writer said of his cooking: ‘I’ve seen menus at Chili’s with more creativity.’

Why he might not be annoying:

    He has many vocal fans as well as detractors.
    His first restaurant boss was so impressed that he sent him to culinary school at 17.
    He was one of the first chefs to take southwestern cuisine seriously.
    He made up with the Japanese chef he pissed off on ‘Iron Chef.’
