Anthony Bourdain out there having fun and working at entertaining us . He succeeds with this foodie who lives some of his life vicariously through him. It is great to get detail of some of his programs and go into more depth that can not be expressed in a fifteen second sound bite. I am really enjoying the fiction chapter at the end. Maybe it is time to branch out into Sci Fi cookery in space in the thirtieth century. Loved the book and watch all the shows.

I loved this book. Aside from seeing Tony looking straight through my soul on the cover, the content is funnier than all his other books. I love his take on anything and everything. He is a great writer and if he continues to churn out books that are this amusing, I will buy them all.

This book is hard to put down. Anthony Bourdain has an entertaining and usually cynical way to the truth about culinary matters. The writing is superb and he definitely knows his way around any restaurant or kitchen.

I have enjoyed Anthony Bourdain's previous books, but this one is very obviously an attempt to capitalize on his popularity by throwing together a bunch of miscelaneous articles that were not good enough to make it into his previous books and giving it a good title. There is little to no continuity between the articles, many of them are are just rehashing the same themes he has already expressed in previous work, and others seem to have no point at all except to fill space. This collection of articles lacks the charm and wit of his previous works, and is certainly not worth buying even for his most ardent fans.
