Anthony Bourdain sees life through a 'pink tinted prism' as dad to a baby girl

Celebrity Baby Blog - Forest Hills, NY, USA - While blogging about his surprise at enjoying the reality show Next Food Network Star, celebrity chef and novelist Anthony Bourdain mused that maybe his judgment has been skewed by life with his new daughter, Ariane, born April 9.

Is it because I watch Next Food Network Star with a three-month-old girl on my lap that I find it increasingly compelling?  Is it because I'm looking through a pink tinted prism these days that I'm finding Bob Tuschman [a judge on the show] sympathetic?

Whether it's the butterfly mobiles dangling from my ceiling -- the onset of early dementia, or long delayed side effects from past drug use drawing me to the tube Sunday nights, I'll be watching.

Ariane is Anthony's first child with wife Ottavia.
