Epic April Fools Joke?

Food junkie that I am, I've been following @RuthBourdain's enigmatic Tweets for quite some time. Love how he/she managed to pervert Ruth Reichel's charming and colorful food writing with my all-time favorite food writer, Anthony Bourdain's, kick ass and in-your-face rock and roll attitude. It was like Foies Gras rolled in bacon and sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinnamon.

Imagine my shock and awe at seeing this posting on my Tumblr dashboard yesterday:

No fucking way! I thought for sure this had to be a joke. (Especially when you consider the animosity between Bourdain and Waters.) But LA Weekly's Squid Ink confirmed it, so there it is, I guess. Oh, wait dateline reads April 1st, right?

But Alice Waters would never lie. Even on April Fools. Would she? All I know is if she's Ruth Bourdain I'm not sure of anything anymore.
