6-21-11 Medium Raw by Anthony Bourdain - Non-Fiction

5 - I love reading his books. Bourdain really does not mince words and if he doesn't like something he's not shy about saying so. In turn, if he loves or adores or respects something he hands out accolades. As you readers know by now, I love food books and this one was no exception. Bourdain is now older and, perhaps, wiser and has gone a different direction since he wrote Kitchen Confidential. He has traveled the world, eaten incredible dishes, rubbed elbows with the culinary elite, and has entered the realm of television. His stories are entertaining and raw, telling it exactly how he sees it with no apology. And his food porn will make your mouth water and you will almost be able to taste the dish he is describing. And then you'll look at your boxed mac & cheese and go "ugh."
