A Cook's Tour: Global Adventures in Extreme Cuisines by Anthony Bourdain
4.0
This is good to get a few behind the scenes snippets of what filming with the Food Network crew was like for Tony. It was obvious that he thought they were idiots and were more interested in getting "good film" then experiencing "good food".
But he is pompous, and arrogant, and opinionated, and he knows it. Which doesn't necessarily make it okay, but it does make him human. He knows his faults. And at the end of the day, I really think that those blustery puffery traits are all about keeping himself from being hurt for being too genuine. He can't hide his love for food and his appreciation of people who make food the best way they can. And he makes me hungry every time I watch him.
