Anthony Bourdain launches Twitter tirade against American Airlines

• Tweet

American Airlines is the latest target of celebrity chef and television personality Anthony Bourdain, who unleashed a tirade of angry tweets against the airline.

Bourdain was headed to from Miami to Grand Cayman for the Cayman Cookout when a rather... unfortunate situation delayed the flight's departure.

We'll let Mr. Bourdain explain:

“@ottaviabourdain: @bourdain yeah let’s see what time American Airlines will deliver you here!” You got that right . Late as usual

Love the poor gate agent, standing mute under the “on time “ sign when clearly we are fucked. #AA

What does “special situation” mean in airlines speak? Ain’t nothin special about late departure #AA

Oh. It’s okay now. Denzel is here. #AA

When Tony finally finds out what's caused the delay, it's almost worth it.

Latest news is it took #AA two hours to admit a passenger dropped a wet deuce on a seat. Need to change planes
