Loud-mouth Anthony Bourdain kind of regrets attacking Food Network star Paula Deen — but still hates her food.

Speaking on WNYC’s “Leonard Lopate Show” yesterday, Bourdain said he was sorry about the fracas he caused by insulting Dean in TV Guide earlier this month.

“You know, I deserved the whacking I got back on that,” he said.

“I hate to beat up on her personally.

“I feel bad. I stand by the substance of what I said, but I certainly think it came across as more crass, personal and just plain nasty than I intended it,” Bourdain said.

“That said,” he added, “is it necessary to serve bacon cheeseburger between two donuts? Is that what America needs right now?”

Two weeks ago, Bourdain made headlines calling Deen “the worst, most dangerous person to America.

“She’s proud of the fact that her food is f–king bad for you,” he said in an interview that was widely reprinted.
