Bourdain

No Reservations: Around the World on an Empty Stomach
$34.95
You must get this book if you like Anthony Bourdain...and who doesn't? The book arrived quickly and in excellent condition. I enjoyed it immensely. You will too.

Bone in the Throat
$14.95
I enjoyed Kitchen Confidential a lot more for its witty writing and colourful insights into the restaurant business. This fiction novel however, disappoints as the pace is slow, the action limited and the characters predictable. It is nevertheless unpretentious and an easy read.

Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations - Collection Four

Great collection... espescially the Laos show.. Bourdain is insightful and as usual
extremely funny.. the only problem is i could not view the third disc.. some malfunction or whatever... does this happen ��� lot ?

Typhoid Mary
$16.50
Typhoid Mary was a cook.

That's the lens through which Anthony Bourdain filters his telling of her story. This is a bit longer than an essay & a bit shorter than an actual book, but a fun read. I especially enjoyed the parts where he talked about cooks & cooking & about the Irish women who immigrated to America during the potato famine. Also enjoyed reading about the foodies at the time.

I like Anthony Bourdain. He's smart & funny & passionate about food. He writes well, too.

I'm positive there are more in-depth academic tomes about Typhoid Mary with oodles of footnotes & citations & 10 or 12 different theoretical perspectives, but this one was just fine.
