is an understatement. I’ve been looking for a copy of this book for a long time. Mainly because I have a huge crush on Anthony Bourdain. So it wasn’t really about his prose. But I’m glad to say that he did not disappoint.

If I had to use a word to describe this book, it would be cool. It was straightforward, wry, snarky as hell, and even funny at times. Bourdain’s personality leaps from the pages. And I found myself grinning and nodding like an idiot while reading some of the passages because, he can make you relate to what he has written. And I’m not even a cook. Nor do I have plans of becoming one.

This book solidified his coolness in my heart.
