Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who CookMedium 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. |

User Review - WellReadSoutherner - LibraryThingI really like Anthony's style of honesty, truth and desire to not settle for mediocrity. This book (as well as his others) tells it like it is. Warning about bad language if you don't like to read that sort of thing. Read full review
