Publisher Description
Medium Raw marks the return of the inimitable Anthony Bourdain, author of the blockbuster bestseller Kitchen Confidential and three-time Emmy Award-nominated host of No Reservations on TV’s Travel Channel. Bourdain calls his book, “A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook,” and he is at his entertaining best as he takes aim at some of the biggest names in the foodie world, including David Chang, Alice Waters, the Top Chef winners and losers, and many more. If Hunter S. Thompson had written a book about the restaurant business, it could have been Medium Raw.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Beloved foodie Anthony Bourdain followed up his breakthrough book, Kitchen Confidential, with this rough-edged memoir. With a perspective only a seasoned chef and world traveler could give us, Bourdain offers honest and unfiltered opinions on everything from food critics to the concept of selling out. This book was written about his travels around the world tasting each locale’s delicacies—and the TV personality captured tantalizing observations about the people, places, and dishes that he loved...and those that he didn’t. We can’t imagine anyone other than the legend himself narrating this book with its casual smattering of f-bombs and endearing level of self-deprecation. Listening to this audiobook is a bittersweet reminder of Bourdain’s legacy.
