SYDNEY—Taking his side role as an epicurean critic (a la his WoodRocket.com series "James Deen Loves Food") onto the international scene, reigning AVN Mainstream Star of the Year James Deen recently pulled out the knives, so to speak, against the world-famous Sydney Opera House's restaurant Opera Bar in a post on his blog ... and the dining establishment responded.
Having tried the restaurant during his visit to Sydney for this year's Sexpo convention, Deen did not mince words about his opinion of it: "This was the worst food I have ever eaten in my life," he wrote on JamesDeenBlog.com. "I rather have someone with dysentery shit into my eyes while I am forced to listen to Hanson on repeat and sing Creed. I rather lick the inside of a glory hole than have any of this bullshit excuse for 'food' enter my mouth ever again. I rather send dick pics to my rabbi. Everything about this 'restaurant' is horrible."
And so on.
A few days later, The Sydney Morning Herald reports, the Opera House issued the following statement in defense of its eatery: "Opera Bar is not only the most visited food and beverage venue at the Opera House, it is one of the most successful and celebrated bar and restaurant venues in Australia.
"Named Best Bar in Australia by Australian Traverler magazine readers in both 2012 and 2013, its enduring popularity with both Sydenysiders and overseas visitors is a testament to its success over the past 13 years."
So there, James Deen.
