A Cook's Tour: Global Adventures in Extreme Cuisines by Anthony Bourdain

4.0

Eye-opening and thoroughly entertaining. It had a lot of real laugh out loud moments. I've always been a fan of his TV work, so maybe this is where all the bias comes from but the guy writes really well. The book is part travel show, part Fear Factor, part history lesson and part ethnography. It's a good balance of skepticism, enthusiasm and worldliness.He does tend to romanticize and wax poetic over a slab of meat, but every foodie knows too damn well that you can't describe a great meal with just two adjectives. Looking forward to reading his other books soon!
