Bourdain described the southern delicacy as ‘feeling like holding a warm crap in a bag’ and ‘colostomy pie.’



The store manager of the Five & Dime where Bourdain ate isn’t happy after the celebrity chef was so quick to dismiss his food.

Mike Collins said Bourdain is 'completely wrong' about the store's Frito pie, which he says is homemade from chile grown in New Mexico and remains extremely popular with his customers.
