Get Jiro! by Anthony Bourdain
3.0
Absolutely hilarious satire of a food obsessed LA hellscape. I found a lot of parts relatable as an Asian American who hates California rolls. This book is a reminder that a lot of times the best foods are the simplest. The most treasured foods are Jiro’s sushi and this nameless guy’s taco stand in North Hollywood. Bourdain is one of my favorites.
3 stars because the female characters aside from Rose basically were there as objects. I also didn’t get why Rose and the pretentious rival chef got together at the end. I think they should have fought to the death instead. They had 0 chemistry aside from heteronormative expectations.
