Tony Bourdain and Ruhlman created the Golden Clog awards, in order to provide a lighter Beard awards, and slam the Food Network simultaneously.
They gave the coveted Douchebag award to Alan Richman, for crapping all over New Orleans.
Chef Donald Link of Cochon received the "THE CRAZY BASTARD SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARD For the chef/operator who did the most insanely wonderful or heroic fucking thing in recent memory". If you don't know why he got it, watch the New Orleans episode of No Reservations. Available for download for $1.99 on iTunes.
Unfortunately, Ruhlman himself did not win the "Jack Barry and Dan Enright" award for rigging iron chef America so that his buddy Symon got it instead of John Besh.
H/t to Mark C. and appetites.
Alan "the dumper" Richman: douchebag is as douchebag does.
The Link-Cochon award was right on.

So you noticed that about the Iron Chef Symon selection. Besh would have been my first pick but Symon was a not too distant second. Bourdain gave him shit over it but nobody else seemed to spot it.
