| Tracking his own strange and unexpected voyage from journeyman cook to globe-traveling professional eater and drinker, and even to fatherhood, Bourdain takes no prisoners as he dissects what he''s seen, pausing along the way for a series of confessions, rants, investigations, and interrogations of some of the most controversial figures in food. |
Annotation:
Anthony Bourdain is back, with the long-awaited sequel to his bestselling 2000 memoir. Bourdain is still obsessed with food--good news for his fans--and this time around he ventures into the food obsessions of others, giving us his take on the Food Network and on various food gurus, including a chapter called "Heroes and Villains," which is (in his own words) "the most vicious, hateful, and angry single chapter of my life." The wit and candor that made Bourdain famous in KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL are on full display in MEDIUM RAW.

Praise
"It's an often funny, sometimes confusing mix. And it's always personal, even when it gets political....Bourdain has insight, access and good taste, and he's a naturally engaging writer."

"This is Bourdain at his best. His food-porn vignettes are guaranteed to make your mouth water....He skips and hops around the globe to delight us with Vietnamese pho, Mexican tongue-tacos, Spanish baby eels and more."
- Enrique Fernandez

"You have to hand it to Bourdain; this is really good writing, not just really good food writing."
- Geoff Nicholson

"[W]hen you read Bourdain, you never quite know what's going to happen in the next sentence, but you can be sure you're in for a treat, a shock, a surprise....If anything, he's probably more unrestrained now, knowing that he can get away with pretty much anything. Even the snarkiest blogger could learn from Bourdain's effortless mastery of vulgarity, profane and obscene language, and acrobatic sexual imagery."
- Michael Dirda

"Mr. Bourdain is a vivid, bawdy and often foul-mouthed writer. He thrills in the attack, but he is also an enthusiast who writes well about things he holds dear. His detailed reporting on the backroom lives of restaurant employees is terrific."
